Today, I will discuss briefly the subject of purpose. But first, there is something I call Life Design Sequence. This is, in a sense, the sequence of growth in life.
1. Potential
2. Purpose
3. Vision
4. Mission
5. Alignment of Values
6. Philosophy
7. Influence
Looking from the Creator\’s viewpoint, purpose comes first but in the manifestation of our lives, potential or ability usually comes into play before we venture to find out why (purpose).
Purpose is the original intent of God for you. Meaning is the subjective feeling you have when you are walking in line with that intent. The way you were created already predisposes you to be discontent with living without a sense of purpose.

It is rather transcendent to know that what you are doing is what you were born and made to do… that your potential is engaged in the direction of the purpose for which it was given. This makes you inwardly compliant to your original design and outwardly relevant to your generational demands.
In a nutshell, purpose is knowing why you are alive. Although this \”why\” is not always simple initially, when you know it, it gets clearer and simpler by the day. And knowing your purpose sets you apart from others, as you narrow your commitments to those activities within the range of your overarching theme/aim for life.
It is purpose that brings your potential to its highest usefulness. And you know, this ties in beautifully with the power of concentration required to make you a master of your craft.
Have you discovered your purpose?
