When I was a young boy, someone told me, “If you really want
to become successful in life, find out what God wants to you to do with your
life and then dedicate yourself to achieving it”.
At the time, I didn’t really
like that idea; I did not believe that my life could have any particular
purpose; and I did not think that anything God might have in mind would be of
any interest to me in any case.
Gradually, I have come to believe that what that
person said to me, all those years ago, is true. As human beings, we all share
certain basic wants and needs: we have need for food, water, shelter, safety,
love, respect and self esteem. We all share an in-built tendency, as Freud
stated, to want to move away from pain and toward pleasure.
This tendency is
part of the human condition for our own good, it keeps us away from harm and
generally helps us to make good choices. Most people settle for a pursuing a
career that satisfies these basic human wants and needs and never really think
beyond them to what their life could be about.
Somewhere along the line, I came
to realize that what God wanted for my life, and what I wanted, were one and
the same thing. This understanding came after I had determined to find out what
God actually wanted me to do with my life.
It was a profound moment for me. I
gradually came to understand my inner hopes, dreams and deepest desires as
being implanted by God. So pursuing God’s purpose for my life was, in fact,
also pursuing my own purpose.
When it really came down to it, I finally
realised that I needed to look within to discover my own purpose; and once I
had found out what it was, it then became possible to dedicate myself to
fulfilling it.
So my message to you is simple - it is time for you to wake-up!
It is time for you to start thinking of your life in a different way. It is
time for you to fulfil your dream - whatever that may be. That is why you are
here.
By finding and fulfilling your own unique purpose in life you will be
living your life to the full. It is my hope that you will begin to see yourself
as a special person, with a truly unique purpose in life - because that is the
truth!
