Start Living Today On Purpose

If the purpose of everything you do today centers around food, clothing, and shelter, then you have to start living because life is much more than that. For a lot of us reading this, we immediately tell ourselves that we are living not only for food, clothing, and shelter. But think carefully, what exactly are you living for? If you live for nothing, you die for nothing. It is important to take that discussion up with yourself and fully understand the reason why you do what you do.

Imagine carefully what happens today if you are not around. Perhaps, you are sick or something, how many things or people would be affected because you are not around? I mean how many people would feel the positive vibe and energy you give if you are not around? That is a very profound question I want you to take your time and think about. We exist every day, but do we truly live on purpose? Do we simply live to make ends meet, or simply to enjoy life as it comes?

Until your life seeks a higher purpose and a higher meaning, your life would have no impact even on yourself. You would simply be like a cog in a machine, that can simply be replaced when it is damaged, no impact whatsoever beyond just being that part of the machine. You need to begin to look at life not just as a day to make more money because in the end, with all the money, you would leave the money and depart. But what legacy or motivation would you leave for the world? We do not need to think too far into the future, seek to live life every day with purpose, a purpose way greater than simply food, clothing, shelter, and more money.

Whatever is at the center of your life is what your life would revolve around. You put a purposeful living at the center of your life and things would really be magical, and if any other items are the center of your life, things would fall along that way. I sometimes wonder how the animal in the forest is different from a human. The animal seeks food, sex, and shelter and some humans simply live the same way. How else can we have any impact if we continue this way? Many might ask if it is important to have an impact. I say to you the most important essence of us all is to have an impact. Not only on others but on ourselves, and until we are doing that, we are truly never living.

We are just existing. Time waits for no one and as such, we need to start now. Never do something simply because that is what others are doing. To be different simply means doing what others are not doing, especially the great things others are not doing. So it starts with me and you. Today.

Thanks and God Bless.
