URGENT! Your Life Has a Purpose: Do Not Give Up

I can remember a time in my life where I felt like my life did not matter. I would often look for a reason to hold on. Depression was my closest friend. I often felt as if life had dealt me a bad hand.

There seemed to be no one to talk to who could understand all of my pain, and my disappointment with life. Everything about my life seemed unfair. I had no father, my mother was present, but dealing with her own issues. So many people in my life disappointed me. I no longer trusted anyone.

I would often ask God why. Why so much pain and disappointment. How much did He really felt I could take. I would go through each day doing the best I could. Putting on a smiley face for for everyone else. Taking care of my responsibilities like a good girl should. But, everyday was a struggle to hold on to this life that I was give.

I did not have anyone back then to say to me, your life has a purpose, or you ar special and have so much to offer this world. I was so angry about that. No one was there to listen me, who would allow me to say what I really felt. "I am hurting inside" is what I felt like saying. I wanted to announce to the world that I had a voice and had something to say. But who cared, I used to say to myself.

I now realize that people are just so busy trying to figure out there own life, or feel like they do not want to intrude in other people's life. However, that is no the final answer for you, I am here to say that I am intruding. If you are reading this, great. I want you to know that I care, God cares. You are somebody, you are worth so much more than you can imagine. You have a purpose for your life.

Maybe the pain and disappointment that you are feeling seems to hard to bear at times. Maybe you are tired of simply existing and do not feel significant. However, I encourage you to hold on, one day everything will work out. Ask God to revealto you  His purpose for your life. It's not as hard as you think. Sometimes it's as simple as helping someone who feels the hurt you feel, who can better understand where they are coming from.

Fight back, declare to make your life count for something.  Pick up the pieces, dare to dream of a brighter future. Do something for yourself, like taking college courses, start working out, find a job, Join a church and become a part of a community. Volunteer with a program that supports others who are experiencing some of the things you are going through. Just don't give up. You matter, how you feel matters, what you have to say matters.

Success in Everyday Life

Today I had a wonderful epiphany, I was driving on the highway, headed to a meeting. I felt the presence of God so strongly. I could hear this inner voice saying to me you are in purpose.

 I began to sing along with the inspirational music playing in the background. Again I could hear this voice saying everyday that you are in purpose you are succeeding in life.

I began to ponder what I was hearing, when again I heard this voice say, empowering others to succeed in everyday life. That's when I got it. I suddenly realized that I was exactly were I was suppose to be in life. I had spent so much time trying to achieve my dreams that I lost my vision. My purpose in life is to be led by the spirit and live a joyful, successful, and generous life and empower others to do the same.

Once I got to my meeting the receptionist there decided to keep me company as I waited on the person I was there to see. She began telling me different things about her life. We started discussing bedside manners and health care workers. She mentioned that I appeared to have those qualities. Without thinking I said, "Yea, that's one of my strongest strengths". That was major to me because I have always wondered and prayed about what my greatest strengths were.

My one-on-one encounters with people, encouraging them in faith, having compassion, and listening to their concerned are so second nature that I did not see it as anything significant. It's what I do, it's who I am. That's purpose. That's the meaning in my life. That's what gives me the greatest joy.

Being such a dreamer has almost caused me to lose my vision. At the same token, having my vision restored has clarified the dream. I am living my dream. I am enjoying the sweet aroma of everyday success in life.

My advise to you today. Take time to listen to the sound of the music, sing along with the tunes. Pay attention to the words others speak to you today. "Sufficient is today for every desire of your heart".
