What On Earth Am I Here For?
"If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what’s the point?"
"Without a clear purpose,you will keep changing directions, jobs, relationships, churches, or other externals hoping each change will settle the confusion or fill the emptiness in your heart. You think, maybe this time it will be different, but it doesn’t solve your real problem - a lack of focus and purpose." Wow...Wow...Wow...is all I can say when I read these words in Rick Warren's Bestselling book, "WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR?" The Purpose Driven Life Expanded Edition. In the fourth chapter he asks his readers to contemplate what the driving force is in their lives. That really got me thinking and inspired me to look carefully at everything that I am doing. What did I come up with? My driving force: To help women respect themselves, celebrate their uniqueness and embrace their spiritual purpose through live speaking events and writing. What is your driving force?Join me! Put your driving force into words and allow the beauty of it to lead your life without guilt, past life experiences, fear, materialism, or a need for approval? I can't promise it will be easy but I can promise it will be rewarding.
Enjoy a Blessed January, Jenn
