Purpose
pur·pose
noun
the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
have as one's intention or objective.
What is the reason you exist? If you died today, what would the world miss? What were you created for? What's your purpose? You were created for a reason, an objective. Your life has direction and meaning. There is a plan. Maybe you were created to love. Maybe you were created to dance or sing. Maybe you are a gifted architect or designer. You were given gifts that are uniquely yours. Maybe it's the gift of gab. What are you good at? Are you athletically inclined? Your talents can help you identify your purpose. Live life knowing you are here for a reason. Live intentionally. Live on purpose.
"My purpose is far greater than my pain." -Foxy Brown
"I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that's what I'm going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done."- Kendrick Lamar
Fearless
Most of us live our entire lives in fear of something. It's not always something big. It's not always something terrifying. Sometimes, it's something small. We have a fear of being successful. We have a fear of failure. We have a fear of being like our parents. We have a fear of being stuck. We have a fear of change. We have a fear of anything and everything out of our control. Fear is paralyzing. It can keep you from moving forward. It can cause you to doubt everything and everyone. The first step to conquering your fears is understanding why they exist in the first place. It does require a bit of soul searching and introspect, but I guarantee it will be worth it. Overcome one fear at a time. Acknowledge they exist, and each day try to fear less. Fear less and less each day until one day you are fearless. Take one step in the direction of being fearless. You are fearlessly and wonderfully made. You were not created with the spirit of fear. Be fearless.
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."-Jack Canfield
Humility
There were two times I was reminded of how small we are in this universe; when I looked out of a window of a plane, and when I looked at the night sky. I thought about God's meticulous craftsmanship. I was humbled by the fact that just like those stars and planets, he made me too. God formed me in my mother's womb. God ordered my steps. I was fearfully and wonderfully made. Armed with all those affirmations, I am still called to serve, and you are too. What have you been divinely gifted with? How can you make someone else's life better? When you recognize your gifts and how they can be used to serve others, you honor God and tap into true humility.
"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." -C. S. Lewis
