Purpose-Driven?
Everyone has a purpose in life—a reason for being. Somewhere deep inside we know this; we can feel it. God, or whoever you call it, in His wisdom, gave us our own unique talents, gifts and callings. We were created to share those gifts with the world.Isn’t it fascinating to know that in the history of the whole world, there has never been a person exactly like you, nor will there ever be? You are the only one who can fulfill your purpose––and you only have one life to do it.
Unfortunately, no one can tell you exactly what your specific purpose in life is— the answer is yours to uncover. Still,unfortunately, I do not know what my purpose is. But I know I do have one. It just so happen that I’m still on the process of finding out which one would that be.
I don’t know if I should be a teacher, or be a doctor, or be a pilot. Right now, I’m working as a customer service associate…and I don’t know too if that will be my purpose. But I could say I’m distinctively enjoying what my job is all about. Right before I got this job I’ve been into dozen other jobs. I believe I tried to be the best worker that I could be with those jobs. Would that be my purpose then?
I had just finished my undergraduate degree in psychology. My mentors instilled to me the complexities and fascinating aspects of human behavior which I immensely appreciated. I don’t know too if that is my purpose. I don’t know if I’m suppose to seek for a career where I could apply those theoretical concepts I have learned. I don’t know if I should pursue higher studies on this field so that I could also share what was taught of me. Would that be my purpose? I could only guess.
I met so many people and I’m inclined to think that one way or another I have touched there lives. I know I made them smile, laugh, and even cry. I made them consider possibilities. I made them doubt their own selves, along with their faith and beliefs. I made them challenge their abilities while making them realize about their own sets of infirmities. But would that also be my purpose?
I helped my family realized that though we are related by blood, we are still entirely different. I attempted to be the best part of my family. I hope that’s one of my purpose. Well, i could only hope.
I’m afraid this would just be a series of my incomprehensible guess of what my purpose is. They are just guesses anyway. but I know somehow, at the end of my journey, I would be able to fulfill that purpose along the way.
