Pay attention to these 4 forms of purpose discovery and see the ones that relates to you. 1) Those things we love, do with ease and have an unusual passion for, can form part of our purpose. 2) Those things we *can not* do or find it very difficult doing but we still believe within us that we can still be part of it. This is where our higher calling lies. All my life I've wanted to be an inspirational speaker. I love talking to people and building community and groups. But shyness and Stage fright "no gree me". I now convinced myself that I hated public speaking and accepted the situation just as it was. Not until I took on the journey of self discovery. I had to accept this reality and today with the help of God I've conquered the crowd. And I'm living part of my dreams. Some of us here have things we want to do. Within us, the innate desire and passion is there, but physically we feel inadequate. I want to assure you that God equips whom he chooses. Embrace your purpose, Answer your call!! 3) Those difficult situations and challenges that we have passed through and overcome, therein lies our calling. Maybe to help others overcome or just to be a master in that. One of the reasons I started Hopeful Me, and also take positive message and encouraging people serious is because I've considered suicide before. I know how it feels to be hopeless.. I've been through hurt, I've hated myself. God gave me this victory and all I owe myself is to extend it to the world around me. Look into your life, those weaknesses you have or the ones you've overcome. There could be a calling attached to it. Your struggle with addictive behaviors, your setbacks, your relationship issues, academic challenges etc. Maybe God wants you to help people struggling in similar situations And Finally, 4) It can be a divine call. God who gave us life knows what best to do with it anytime. Beyond our abilities, He can still use us. We are useful in God's hand. Take time to pray to God so He will open your eyes to see the work He has placed ahead of you and open your ears to listen to instructions. An excerpt from Self Discovery Week at Hopeful Me.
