Why Am I Here?
Throughout the ages there has been a question which has plagued every society since the beginning of time: Why am I here? Although to some, the answer comes quickly and matter-of-factly, to the majority, however, it is not an easy question to answer. Unfortunately, this often unanswered dilemma clouds our vision, leaving us wandering aimlessly through life with neither purpose, passion nor focus.
Today I would like to offer a point of view that perhaps you haven't thought of before. Could our purpose in life, the very cause of our existence, be hidden, entangled and entwined within the very gifts, talents, predispositions, and gravitations which make us the people we are? Without question, some people excel in athletics, whereas others, physics. Whether you are a prodigy in music or the one with an interest in history, every person was created with specific interests which bring joy to their hearts. By focusing our efforts on nurturing, developing and refining those inclinations, we begin honing in on our purpose, revealing the answer to why we were created.
Be aware that this process does not happen by spontaneous creation, but develops within the journey of diligent study, determined and disciplined practice, sacrifice, personal growth and learned stewardship. Then, at the appropriate time, be it years of process, we will stand at the crossroads where preparation meets opportunity. It is at this junction where we choose to remain motionless or continue onward, fully stepping into our purpose and embracing the reason for our existence.
