There is this story about a man that went for a walk one day. This man was confronted by a soldier who asked him, Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there? This man was so happy that he demanded to know how much the soldier earns. When he was told, the man gladly told the soldier he will pay him twice the amount he earns if only he can be asking him these three questions every day of the week. These are the three most important questions you need to ask yourself if you want to amount to anything in life. Those who have achieved so much with their lives have at a point asked themselves these questions. You cannot amount to anything in life if you dont know yourself. How you see yourself or what you think about yourself, will determine what you will achieve in life. When you see yourself as a creature of purpose, you will be able to live a life of purpose; you will be able to live a life of purpose. Unfortunately, most people see themselves as a creature of accident, and they look down on themselves. They thought God created them without no special ability or purpose. These thoughts make them live a life of frustration and daily struggle. For this set of people, the solution is to see themselves as a winner instead of a loser. We all need to see ourselves in the light God see us. According to Josh McDowell, a healthy self-image is seeing yourself as God sees you. When you see yourself as God see you, there will be no limit to what you can achieve in life. For you to get to a destination you need to know exactly where you are going. It is unfortunate that so many people are living but do not have an idea of where they are going in life. A visionless life is a life that will be full of frustration. When you have an idea of where you are going, the journey will be very easy for you and you wont mind all the obstacles you will have to overcome. You cannot reach a place you dont have an idea of. For you to attain any height in life, you need to have an idea of where you are going and what you want to achieve. When you have a vision, do you know why you want to achieve it? You must know that your vision is not complete if you dont have an idea why you want to achieve it. What purpose are you going to fulfill by achieving your vision? It is not possible for you to achieve your vision if you are not clear about why you want to achieve it. It is like going for a job interview and asked why you want the job. If you cannot state clearly why you want the job, it may be impossible for you to get the job. Dear friend, do you know who you are? Do you know where you are going in life? Why are you going to that destination? If you are not sure of the answers you will give to these questions, it is NEVER too late. Now is the time to sit yourself down and plan your life based on these questions. Your friend in purposeful living, Adebola Oni |
