PURPOSEFULNESS: One Of Your Key To Success This Year!

“If you don’t know your purpose in life, you will be slave to those who do”

Are you living a live of mediocrity? Do you always settle for less than you could actually have in life? Are you presently living your life without any sense of direction and you are comfortable with whatever life dish out to you on a daily basis? Are you among the crumb-eaters in the society and seem not to bother about it; Are you so comfortable in your comfort zone?

Are you among those that don’t know what they aspire for in life and care less about it? Such people have accepted failure, without any resistance whatsoever, as their lots in life. A handful of them actually know what they want but either the desire is weak or feeble or they lack the courage to move toward their goals.

Simply put this set of people lack the zeal to pursue their life goal or passion. They are wishful-thinkers and always build their castles in the air; their desires are so fragile that they throw in the towel at the first sight of obstacles or resistance. They quit so early that they never won! As somebody rightly said “if you quit before your time; no dinner for you”

The worst thing you could ever do to yourself and generations coming after you is to be among this group of bench warmers! They are those who, by default, have accepted to be spectators in life and they struggle through life.

Who says you can’t be among the real players and be celebrated as winners and live a fulfilling and well transformed life? Your thinking and imagination is your limitation. You can never rise above your thinking. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thought.

Why don’t you make up your mind to enroll, today, into the league of winners? And it is absolutely free! Nonetheless, there is always a price to pay and the only price you have to pay is determination and singleness of purpose coupled with focus, the sacrifice that the failures, crumble-eaters and bench-warmers are scary of.

Winners are a different breed of the pack; they know exactly what they want in life and never settled for less. They pursue their goal/vision with amazing ferocity that nothing could eventually stand on their way; they are consumed with each passing seconds with the object of their heart desire and no matter the obstacles, they Never! Never!! Never!!! give up. Unlike those that have accepted failure in life, they don’t waiver.

The choice of which group to belong is entirely yours and the beauty of it all is that they both have their rewards which you will receive depending on your choice. Life adequately rewards every man according to his level of toil; what you sow is what you reap.

The first place to begin is by asking yourself series of questions that you must provide immediate answers to. It would serve you well to do this with your pen and notepad in hand or alternatively keyboard and computer.

What is your exact purpose in life? What is the main reason for your existence? Why are you on this planet? What is you passion and what drives you? What do you enjoy doing effortlessly without noting the passage of time? What do you really desire in your business, career, relationship, finances and personal life? How vigorously do you pursue the object of your desire without depriving others of their rights? When last did you work on your project or the object of your desire? What progress have you made in your business, career, marriage, personal life between last year and now? Is what you engage in presently related to the object of your desire? Are you being driven to your desire and passion on daily basis?

Your response to these questions would enable you to determine your purpose in life and indicate if you are a winner or not. Until you are alive to, and pursue your purpose in life, you will just be wandering around aimlessly. Your purpose in life gives you reasons to live.
