Understanding The Reason for Your Existence (Purpose) – Part 2

Having established the understanding that, nothing exists on earth merely without a reason, in that, there is a purpose to everything, I shall proceed to show you how you can identify your purpose and live it.

It is important to understand that, the purpose for which you are born is intricately wired within your being and that determines how you function. Put differently, your purpose is inseparable from your abilities, your potentials and how you want things done. Purpose is innate and inbuilt within. With the aim of illustration to get a clearer picture of what your purpose is, think of a palm seed. The palm seed at a glance, looks so small and insignificant, but within it, is the ability to produce a huge palm tree that bears many fruits used for oil, wine, thatch, among others. Truth is, the ability of the fruit to make all those products is inherent in it.

In that similitude, your purpose is innate, inherent and inseparably built within you. When God created you, He designed you to fulfil your function and gave you certain qualities, traits and characteristics to enable you to perform His intended purpose for you. In fact, these abilities are yours before birth, and you do not have to do anything to receive them.

Hence, your natural inclinations to impact lives, to lead or to follow, to inspire or to manage, to think with your mind or to do things with your hands, to communicate with words skilfully or to express yourself through the various art forms, to come up with ideas or to put them into action, to calculate or to demonstrate are part of your makeup and your personality geared towards fulfilling purpose.

In view of that, you should make this statement sink deep into your spirit that, “You are designed for your purpose, and you are just perfect for your purpose.” Your purpose, your abilities and your outlook on life cannot be separated, because your purpose determines how you will function, which establishes how you are designed, which corresponds to your potential, and consequently connects to your natural abilities.

Hence, accept yourself for who you are, specially designed to be different throughout the globe, with unique abilities and peculiar potential, and do not strive or ever wish to be someone else by changing your nature and purpose.
