"I Was Made For This"

Have you ever been in a position that you felt completely prepared for regardless of whatever obstacles were in your way? Those times when things just seem to click, and you get the feeling that your success is only dependent on how much effort you pour into it? I have, and as a matter of fact, that's exactly how I've been feeling for the past year. Thats what happens when you've found your calling & you're operating in your purpose.

I'm a firm believer in purpose. I think that those of us who find our purpose early in life are blessed, but it can take a lifetime to get there. Some of us already have an idea, at the very least, of what we want to do in this world; even still, many of us still have a lot of growing to do. Wherever you are in that journey, realize that every single one of us has a purpose and a unique skill set to accomplish our calling. We spend so much time perfecting skills that have nothing to do with our purpose, or anything for that matter, that many times purpose gets lost in the daily hustle of life.

Yea, I know you're nice at Halo & you're the best Madden player on your block, but how much of your life did it take you to get there? If you spend 3 hours playing video games, watch 4 television shows & get 8 hours of sleep a day, you're already giving up 54% of your life to entertainment & sleep!! That's more than half of all the time you've got. Somethings gotta give.

We've gotta be spending time doing the things that are going to put us in a better position to succeed, part of that is finding your calling, another part of that is setting goals, and the most important part of any of this is relentlessly working towards those goals like your life depends on it.

We only have so much time on this Earth to make all of our dreams come true. Find your purpose, operate in it.
