Bringing in the Year with Purpose

You should bring in your new year with purpose. Without purpose in life, your life will be filled with chaos and mass confusion. Without a focus or reason as to your existence in your life, you will live life feeling unfulfilled or feeling completely lost as to which direction you want to go in life.

Having purpose does help to have some control in your life but not complete control. Sometimes you may have some problems that may come your way and it is beyond your control. Pretend that you are a ship sailing across the ocean; the waters are calm but all of a sudden a storm appears. Your purpose is your unique map of the world and your goals are the routes you can take to fulfill your purpose.

While sailing across the ocean, you have to decide on a certain route to take to reach a certain goal in your life, but a storm may come and knock you off course, which is always beyond your control.

The storm can be very unpleasant and can cause you a lot of fear, pain, sometimes-even grief. The storm may have knocked you off course, but you must not give up on your journey due to a set back. You must repair your ship, which is you, and get back on course; this how life works.

Sometimes obstacles like storms may come your way and knock you off course, but you must have faith in God that everything will be OK. You must not give up on your dreams and life purpose. It may not be easy at times but, know that soon the storm shall pass and the sunshine will shine radiantly across your sea of possibilities.
