Stumbles towards Purpose

 I know its been a minute......... maybe some months since I last blogged. Let's say Life Happens. In my last article, I talked about setting goals and working towards them. That's exactly what I have been working on and I can say I am very proud of myself because I see many of the goals coming forth to fruition. Lately, I have been getting a lot of emails from some of my readers asking why they can't seem to be moving forward in their plans and why they are stuck in a rut. I believe first and foremost, we as individuals have to understand what our purpose in life is and when there is a realization of that; then comes appropriate goal setting to achieving our goals.  After responding to several of the emails, I figured why not post an article that I read from an author and life coach titled "Why You May Be Struggling."  This article I believe will creating an understanding as to if i am on the right track in life.

Why You May Be Struggling

When you take a fish out of the water and place it on the ground, notice how the fish will keep flip-flopping, trying to move. It would take the fish a very difficult time and struggle to move within the space because it is not designed to move on the ground but in the water.

Take that same fish that has been struggling to move on the ground and put it back in the water, it will surprise you how it can, with speed, great skill, agility and very high performance, cut through the water, moving freely in it. The difference is that the fish, when put in the water, is in its natural terrain and destined path. Its purpose is to move in the water and operate within it, and it has been equipped or designed to do that with much ease. But on the ground, it will be a life of struggles.

While the fish stays out of the water, no matter how much it prays for easy movement and to succeed on the ground, it will never happen because it is living in violation of its purpose and destiny.  At most, the fish will only get little grace from its Maker through showers of rain that dry up while the fish is still on the ground, until the fish understands it will only be successful in the element it was designed for.

Many are living in violation of their purpose and expect God to do great mighty things in their lives when they make request for progress. Just as the fish will only be helped by grace through its Maker, people asking for God’s help to make progress while in violation of purpose or destiny will only get little, little help by God’s grace until they come into their purpose and destiny.

Most people struggle in life because they are not on their track or have derailed from their destiny. Many have stepped out of their purpose for being on earth.  You could call it stepping out of destiny. Your talents, gifts, potentials, and abilities are all you came with to fulfill purpose on earth.  Once you neglect them and do something else, it may mean signing up for struggles.

You just have to make a conscious determined effort to live a purpose driven life!
 

Do you know your Life’s Purpose?

Are you sure what you are doing now or the kind of job you do is within your life’s purpose?
