Challenge
The Purpose Driven Writer (lol)
Where are you on your journey to finding purpose in life? Describe that place in this challenge. See if by writing you can focus your thoughts on that place and come up with an answer. The fun part is: where is everyone else on the journey? Have they found it? What did they say about it? Have they just started looking? Have they given up? What about you? Where is your purpose?! Tell us! All forms accepted.

The Pursuit of...

We all seek it, we expect it; in fact we all teach our children to find it. Purpose. But how do you know when you're close or miles away? Where is the anchor in which I can determine if I'm anywhere in the vicinity? I have sought many avenues people, secondary education, self help and on and on.

This resolve that I have come to is by far one of the most conflicting ideas in the world! Each person has unique gifts, abilities and purpose, I fit somewhere in this vast puzzle of humanity and even if it is only to plant a seed of charity or love or inspiration to another in which they can impact another then fulfillment is the goal.

But still how does this sense of fulfillment happen... it happens when you come to the identity that God is the creator of everything including you and me. When someone creates something, it is ultimately to serve a purpose! Oh, yeah that word again...

Was gasoline created to remain in the rocks, or the refinery or the barrells? Does the farmer plant food only for it to remain in the field? Does the carpenter build a home only for it to remain empty? Then even if you struggle with believing in God, you have to ask then why was I permitted to live at this time, why was I given breath? Purpose, fulfillment. That's it...
