The discovery of a man's purpose in life is the greatest thing that can happen to any man. A point where the direction of a man's life must change and face the reality of his life is a point when the purpose is born. There can be no joy nor fulfillment outside a man's purpose in life, and if you live your life thoughtfully the wind of life will undoubtedly lead you to a point of discovery the purpose of your existence upon the face of this earth. Whether you believe it or not the wind of fate carries you every day as you journey the highway of life, and only the wise can detect the traffic direction leading to the point of meeting with their purpose in life.
Contentment, like riches and fame, is not an indication of a fulfilled destiny. The purpose is to figure out what brings you the most satisfaction in life. The future is a product of the present, but if there is no purpose, you may never achieve the future you desire. However, many people are unaware of this since they have never been thoughtful when driving down the highway of life. Being mindful means being aware of what is going on around you while you go down the highway of life, and being aware of what is going on around you can help you uncover your life's mission.
No one could have predicted that I would end up where I am now, but the wind of life blew me to a point where I had to face the reality of my situation, which led to the discovery of my life's mission. I used to be comfortable with my life and what I was doing until an incident that occurred on my way home from work one day changed my life direction for the better.
It was about 6 years ago, and I was riding my bike home from work. I was in the far left lane, with a car on my right side. A truck appeared out of nowhere in the far right lane and crossed into the left lane. The driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with a 12-year-old girl who was walking on the pedestal lane on my side. This encounter provided me with the biggest shock of my life and made me reconsider my life choices. The accident claimed the life of the young girl.
I instantly realized how fleeting life is and how it can be taken from you at any time. I observed how a drunk driver can rob you of your ability to live and become who you were born to be. It got me thinking about who I am and why I'm here. What purpose have I served in life until that moment in time, if that young child might be me? This encounter makes me realize what I've been putting off simply to feel comfortable in the now, forgetting that the present is the mother of the future. The "Present" is referred to as a present because it is a gift that allows you to live your life to the fullest.
The accident shifted my view about life, and I began to consider my mission in life and the part I was born to play in improving humanity. I used to put off doing the things that truly brings me joy, such as serving God and people. However, following the aforementioned experience, I began to reconsider my life. Have you ever felt a small tug, a little guidance, or a sense of pull in your life? If you answered yes, you have come face to face with your destiny. These were my feelings, and I had come to face my destiny in order to accomplish my life's mission. Our destiny is what allows us to progress in life and achieve our mission, which is why we were sent on this planet in the first place.
Take a moment to reflect on your life. What would you do differently if everything had gone according to plan? That's the path that leads to your destiny, and you won't know what it is until you find it. You can't seem to figure out what you're supposed to do with your life. Stepping into your destiny assists you in completing the role you were supposed to play, the part for which you were made. These roles represent your purpose, and it is only by pursuing that mission that you will find true fulfillment in life and the fortitude to move forward.
A focus on your destiny means making use of all that life has to offer. When you're on purpose, life tends to offer you more, and it's the purpose of our lives that helps us continue forward, overcome all adversities, problems, and what appear to be setbacks and failures. Your situation must act as a catalyst for self-discovery and exposure, as well as preparing you for the adventures that life has in store for you.
The 'wind of Life' is a force that will pull you to the point where you discover your life's real purpose. Life is not just about existing, it's about fulfilling a purpose. I've always felt that I was born to do something more meaningful and to help make this world a better place. But what is my purpose? Where am I to do it from? How do I start doing?
With so many goals that I want to achieve, this sometimes threw me into confusion. Like a bird with two wings I felt frustrated in knowing how to join them together. So, things were just happening in my life until that day the ‘wind of Life’ blew, shook things off its roots, showed me a few things and helped me set some priorities in the right direction.
It occurs to me that most people have no clue about their ‘Life’s lurpose, just as I was before the incidence that helped me see things differently. They are happy, but not satisfied. They go through life doing the same things over and over again. They are happy with their home, career and family, but not the way they ‘feel’ inside. There is an emptiness, a void that cannot be filled by anything else. They don’t know what it is, but they do know they want more. They want to feel alive.
One of the most important things to understand about your personal life is that you only get one shot at it. One chance to really do something with it.
Instead of dwelling on our failures and disappointments, let us be bold in confronting the realities of our lives. You have a destiny and a purpose!
