purpose?

Happy New Month!!!!!!

It is the tenth month of the year. I almost cannot believe it is two months before the year ends. I cannot wait for December! It is my favourite time of the year because of the weather, Christmas and the holidays. I'm grown now, I look forward to holidays.

Last month was very reflective because I probed deeply on purpose, finding my 'why'. 'Purpose' is finding your 'why'. We must do it because it grounds us: everything else we do stems from that knowledge of why. It dictates our intrinsic values and belief systems.

It is something we must intentionally seek because many of us are not so lucky that it hits us in the shower on a Saturday morning. Since I intentionally sought to find out my why, I can say that I am operating with a clearer sense of clarity. I am so grateful for that because I am living an answered prayer!

These are the five steps I recommend:
1. Pray about it.
2. Remember what brings you a deep sense of fulfilment.
3. Journal; write it down. You are bound to forget.
4. Don't force things. Let it sit with you for a while.
5. Be proactive. Act on the things that come to you as soon as possible.

These five things have allowed me to gain a profound understanding of my identity and purpose. I hope it helps you too. I am also reading a book which helped me on this journey of introspection — The 40 Day Soul Fast by Cindy Trim.

Fun fact: I discovered why I had trust issues. Let me say it has something to do with a bicycle 😅

Talk soon,
