Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you

Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT

What is your purpose? Over 70% of Americans do not like their jobs. Yet this indicates that those same people know how to do what they must to put food on the table.

What if we made operating in our purpose the same must? Maybe we would have started working to find and function in it as soon as we first started to work. But nothing can be done about the past.

What if we moved toward our purpose with purpose? Then every action we make would be a vote for that purpose. Maybe most people cannot do better than where they are or maybe most people do not think they can. Maybe they cannot see a way out.

Daily we must envision or imagine the future we want and act. At the beginning of his career, Jim Carrey, the comedian, wrote himself a $10 million check “for acting services rendered.” He dated it Thanksgiving 1995, which was ten years later. Just before that date he learned he was going to make $10 million on Dumb and Dumber. In an interview with Oprah, he disclosed that the real key to success was hard work. “Well, yeah. That’s the thing, you can’t just visualize and then, you know, go eat a sandwich.”

Yes, we will envision or imagine, daily. Then we will make one or more steps toward our purpose, daily. If we have not yet, we will start with writing it down. When we have found our purpose, we will encourage someone else to envision and act, with purpose, for purpose. We too will have them first write it down.
