PURPOSEFUL LIVING

Had a baby born immediately into the world able to speak reasonable and interpret confidently, some mystery wouldn't have been. Perhaps every child and individual may follow life gradually with God's guidance and making reference to whatever he/she saw or hears when brought forth into the world.


 Thus, I don't even know where life begins for an individual, whether at adolescent ( for few) or full grown dependent individual. 
In both cases, it is clear that every individual is guided by two basic principles/decisions of life: morals inculcated by patents, elders, loved ones, mentors etc and personal decision. 

Whichever the case may be, it is true and clear also that a good or bad life revolves around a ' Purpose '. Permit me lay emphasis Only on the former( good life). If you can claim ' valid ' reasons behind your bad life- OYO( On Your Own)



Now the questions comes: 
What's a good life?
 What's a purpose?? 

I may not be able to define good life comprehensively but I will attempt to explain purpose for a guide or direction to our destination. 
 Purpose - a valid reason behind every decision taken in life as a whole.

 Thus there exist a reason for our momentary decisions. 
Each of which make up our purpose. It then imply that a purpose should be known before these decisions are made or extreme carefulness Must be taken when making these decisions. Remember, these decisions can be based on morals acquired or personal intuition, and both tends to be centred also on the changes in the world. 
 All these may refer only to minor issues but looking at it holistically - purpose in life, purpose on earth. What's it?? 


 Through birth to maturity stage, man's purpose seem to revolves around such things as: 
 * good education, 
 ** good job,
 *** exotic cars or fleets, 
 **** mansions, 
 ***** good wife/ husband 
****** lovely kids 
******* thriving business, 
 ******** wealthiest man/ woman on earth, or **********others as may be found in: 

>physiological, 
 >>safety, 
 >>>social,
 >>>>esteem needs, 
>>>>>self actualization and others if not inclusive.

 Well, others would desire that after all these, they make positive impacts, touch lives and depart the earth leaving a stamped footprint for others to follow and a remarkable legacy to be remembered in centuries or even millennium ahead. What else is to life after All these?? 


But there comes those who with/without all these, would seek to know and understand vividly and fulfil God's purpose for them. Such is a well lived life, for without God(Trinity) Everything( Life on earth) both Eternity is Futile. 

 We were carried into the world and will be carried out. 
 We brought nothing into the world and will go with nothing. 
 What will be of your life after here on earth? 
Eternity Call
