What's Your Purpose?

Jerry Lopper, Personal Development Feature Writer for Suite101, recently wrote an article on work/life balance.  In it, he points that the fundamental building block for a well-balanced life is PURPOSE.  Read the entire article.

And your purpose is...

What has God uniquely wired into you that might give you some clues to the answer to that question?  Here are 2 questions to get you started on a personal journey of discovery...

• Do you prefer to multi-task, or do you find comfort in taking one task at a time?
• Do you get your energy from interacting with people or from being by yourself?

The effort you put forth to knowing your purpose is well worth the time.  If you wake up every morning without a crystal clear understanding and awareness of why you exist, you are subject to the whims of circumstances and other people's agendas for you.  But if you begin each day with a renewed sense of mission, circumstances and other people become the opportunities through which you can fulfill that God-given mission.

Knowing your purpose = Serving Strong!

Thanks for the reference and link to my Suite101 article. Here's another telling question about purpose:

How much time during an average day do you spend with yourself, no radio, no tv, no ipod, just you and your inner thoughts?

Great question, Jerry. I bet the answer to that questions is ...000001% of the time. But the benefits are really amazing when you can do regular self assessment.
