Purpose

What’s your purpose? Why do you do what you? What drives you? What brings you happiness and satisfaction?

We all should have something that wakes us up each day and gives us that extra uumph to get up and do something productive. If things in your world seem “off” or you just don’t feel motivated to do anything, most times its because you are not walking in your purpose. Many people have no clue what “purpose” is let alone what their specific role is. Purpose can be defined as “the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc” or “an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal”. Whoa!!! That’s a lot to try and swallow at one time. It sounds profound and deep and IT IS! However your life’s purpose doesn’t have to be starting a crusade to feed all the homeless and hungry people. It can be something as simple as tutoring students at a local school in your free time or donating to a local non-profit organization. Your purpose should be something that spurs you to action in a positive way.

Over the next few weeks I will spotlighting some DIVAS I have crossed paths with over the years that are walking with purpose. They are working on bettering themselves, their families, their communities and beyond. Are they perfect – far from it! (Smile!!!) But they have recognized a calling within themselves on some scale and have taken the first steps to a journey that will change themselves and those they encounter.
