First, have you ever paused to consider what you want from your job, from your spouse, from your kids, from life or whatever? Now I'll admit that is a different type of Q that we all should consider from time to time.
As to why? Because if we don't know what motivates or at least guides us, we are at risk of being overly influenced by others or by our emotions. And that is a critical question that we must ask of ourselves if it is to be wisdom, or emotion, or others who will influence our thoughts, words & actions. So please, ponder this. Second, once we have done a level set of ourselves in regards to what motivates us and guides us, we need to also remember the others in life. As in – are my thoughts, words and actions ones that honor my loved ones, and my faith? |
Because if we don't also add this 'others' check, we may not have the right wider perspective that we should have (remember, we are not here just for what we want, but for the purpose of our existence). Then third and to close on this, if you do not know the purpose of your life, when will you? Thanks for thinking on these and remember . . . God has given all of us a great purpose. |
