Purpose
I often hold off on posting because I feel like I have nothing important to say. I think that in the past that has been due to a lack of a sense of purpose. While I’ve always known where I was headed and what I should do, I haven’t always felt a sense of drive. It was there, it was pushing me to achieve and do things. It’s gotten me where I am. But I never overtly thought I could feel it.
Because of that lack, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking and praying about purpose lately. I just had a mini-epiphany: I have a sense of purpose. Duh. It is indeed why I am where I am, doing what I’m doing, being who I am. I’m a teacher, an innovator, a doer of things, whether I’m conscious of it or not. Let’s see if that realization translates to more and better work, achievements, posts, etc.
Spend a little time thinking about your sense of purpose. Be objective. Don’t doubt, don’t presuppose. Just ponder. You may find out that you already have it, or you may realize you want to cultivate it more. Either way, ponder it. I think it’ll make you a better person.
