At one time or another you’ve probably asked yourself, “What is the purpose of my life? What is its meaning? Why am I here on Earth, and what am I supposed to be doing?” You may have a sense that given the right circumstances, you could do much more than you are doing now. Perhaps you long to make a real difference in the world, to assign meaning to your life, and to listen to the yearnings of your very soul. The truth is, every single one of us has some special gift, some special interest, some special talent, some special way of impacting this world, so that it becomes a better place. You have the potential to live at the level of the heroes of faith. The question you must ask yourself is, “Am I willing to define, embrace, and hold fast to my divine purpose; prayerfully, persistently, and patiently?” If the answer is yes, then the impossible can truly become possible in your life.
Now, finding and following your divine purpose is different from setting your goals. A goal is a tangible desire with an end result, but your divine purpose is really a way of living. For example, a goal might be to learn to paint with water-colours, but your divine purpose might be to bring joy to peoples’ lives through your art. Your goals have finite deadlines, but your divine purpose is something that you will be working with and growing with for the rest of your life.
