Your Starting Point: Connecting With a Power Greater Than Yourself
Your quest for the purpose of your life should start with God, your creator and the only one who knows exactly who He intended you to be and what He intended you to do in life. As Rick Warren phrases it, “it is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, and our destiny.”
“Ultimately, finding your purpose is a spiritual quest. It represents your ability to connect with something greater than yourself” Jim White
Though you may achieve anything that you wish in life, provided that you are clear enough and definite about what it is that you want, success in life is more about journeying to the fulfillment of one’s life’s purpose than achieving whatever goal(s) one may set. Your performances are not of any worthy benefit if they do not fit into God’s plan for your life, no matter how favorable their outcome might be. True success in life is directly proportional to the level of fulfillment of your life’s purpose which is greater than the achievement of your own personal goals.
Therefore, if it is true that the principle of definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all individual achievement; here in succeedinglife.com, we take it as equally true, if not more true, that turning unto God is the starting point of one’s quest for the purpose of his/her life. The reason being that He is our creator and the only one who knows exactly what He intended each one of us to be and to do in life.
