There is no doubt that without this, in due time you would begin to feel a great deal of dissatisfaction with life. I mean what would be the point in getting up going to work or doing whatever it is that you do on a daily basis? Life would just be mundane without a sense of “purpose.” I thank God that He gives “purpose” to all our lives. Keep in mind that there can be a fine line with defining purpose as it applies to us individually. Myles Monroe—a prominent figure once said that one of the most tragic things in life is to be successful in the wrong thing. I believe people can easily associate success with purpose but it is not the same. If I spill something on the floor, I might be quite successful with just taking off my jacket and successfully using it to wipe up the spill. However, I have just totally misused the “purpose” for which that jacket was made. Ahhh! See where I am going? So, just ponder that for a bit today. Thank God that you serve “a purpose” like my analogy about the jacket, but let us start purposely (no pun intended) seeking to move into the individual purpose for which we were made. Trust me—I am right there with you. I have been successful in the field of systems analysis but I am aiming to follow the writing path that started in my childhood and has chased me down through life.
