Are you working just to make a living?

It is important of find and live one's purpose, it brings fulfillment and peace into our life. Despite the desire for purpose, surveys show that few people know or follow their life purpose regularly. Purpose is essential for an optimistic outlook and health, especially as we age. It differentiates between genuinely living our purpose and the relentless pursuit of an idealized version, which can change throughout life.

Follow the single desire or revelation that the Lord has given you.  Don’t cloud your judgement by the many other realities that you are aware of. Only follow the direction that He has given you.

When feeling purposeless, embodying the purpose we already have, no matter how small, is crucial. Every role, even those seemingly minor, reveals the same amount of revelation of our ultimate calling. The Lord has a unique plan for each individual, which may not always align with societal measures of success. Purpose might be as simple as offering encouragement or managing stress with grace.

Sometimes we miss out on opportunities.  Don’t get stuck in that.  Our Heavenly Father will always give us a second or another opportunity.  Just seek Him and follow His guidance.

True purpose is not found in a big paycheck, material possessions, or comparing ourselves to others. These external measures do not provide lasting fulfillment. Instead, living our purpose means embracing our current actions and daily experiences, recognizing the impact of our kindness, dedication, and love. This approach transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, creating a life rich with meaning and satisfaction. Purpose is not something to find but to recognize and nurture in the present.
