Growing up you were fed a constant dose of fairytales and indoctrinated to the idea that prince charming would come to rescue you.
For years you’ve focused on these magical expectations, and carefully narrowed down a list of wants. Now, your whole existence revolves around an ideal person, even though your heart has been crushed trying to manufacture him.
But have you ever considered giving yourself this same conscious attention so you get to know yourself, as well as you do the figment of your imagination?
YOU & PURPOSE
Getting to know who you are and what you were created for are key elements for a fulfilling life, wise choices, and successful relationships.
When you get to know yourself you can approach life with confidence because you’ve identified your core values. At this level of self-awareness you’re able to differentiate what you need versus what you “want.”
After all, you’ve gotten a lot of what you wanted, only to long for more. See, if you don’t know who you are, you won’t know what you need. And when you don’t know what you need, you won’t know how to choose. That’s why you must get to know yourself deeply and discover your purpose.
- Purpose is key because it clarifies what you were created to accomplish on this earth. It encompasses your life’s work through the full expression of God’s love for you, and you get to partner with him to display your unique gifts.
- When you don’t have this essential piece, life is frustrating, but once you begin to walk in purpose you encounter peace, internal joy and true satisfaction.

BENEFITS
- When you truly get to know yourself, you become crystal clear about what you need versus what you want. This keeps you from settling and wasting time.
- When you discover your purpose, you take a peak into destiny and who to invite on your journey. Purpose also eradicates perpetual loneliness because you have the right focus, and it’s a weeding tool for unnecessary detours.
I encourage you to pursue your true identity in Christ and discover your purpose.
