Live With Purpose
Live Your Life With Purpose
- What does it mean to live your life with meaning and purpose?
- What does it mean to have time and money to do the things you want to do, things that add value to your life?
- What does it mean to take care of your family the best you can and still have time to do the things you want with them?
These questions reveal what living a life with purpose means to me. What does it mean to you?
A life with purpose has nothing to do with things acquired or how many people know our names. Living a quality life means how many people know us by our good works, the things we’ve done for our own family and others that make a difference in their lives. If we are to be well known, let it be for the good deeds we’ve done.
Collecting treasures that cannot be swept away in a disaster are the type of gems I want to put in my Life’s Treasure Box. These are gems like honesty, integrity, values, character, service, love of others, memories of time spent with family members, making friendships, peace of mind, and joy in the soul.
I want you to find life rewarding in whatever way it comes to you. I want you to find the good in your circumstances and find joy in whatever it is you have to bear. It’s not the trial that makes us who we are, it is the way we respond to it and the lessons we learn from it that makes up the character of who we are now. That’s why I have written books, to share my story and the lessons I learned with others who are going through the same type of trials.
I believe that God created us to need each other, to help each other, and to share our knowledge and skills with those who need what we can offer them in service. Living a life with purpose to me is doing these things and feeling the joy that comes when we see the value we have to others that we have helped. Self-worth is way more powerful than anything we gain from a job or that money can buy; money should not be worth more to you than healthy relationships.
I want you to live your life in remembrance of those you have helped, and to look for opportunities to bless others lives with your gifts and talents. I want you to be able to say when you meet your maker, “I am all used up. I’ve done all I can to serve those in need of the talents you gave me.”
You may find that you agree with me and want the same things. If you agree, you will likely appreciate the training that I provide on this site. On the other hand, if you see things from a different perspective, it does not mean that you are wrong it’s just that you disagree with me, and that’s fine.
We don’t always have to agree with each other. Sometimes we learn from each other through disagreement, as long as we are big enough to listen to another point of view. Even if we still disagree, at least we have come to an understanding of each other’s point of view…and that is worth a lot to me.
