When you wake up each morning, do you wake up with a purpose?  Do you wake up thinking of what you want to accomplish that day?  A goal you are determined to achieve?  A project you want to complete?  Starting our day with a purpose, a goal, gives us something to strive for.  God created each and every one of us with a purpose.  He gave each of us a unique talent.  To live a life with purpose we must identify what is it that we want to accomplish in life.  What are our God given talents and how can we use those talents?  I’ve always encouraged my sons to set goals and to live a life with purpose.  I not only encourage them but show them through my own works.  I talk to them about the goals I set for myself and I share with them my purpose and accomplishments.  It’s through my actions that I can encourage them to do the same.  Start by envisioning your goal.  Write down your goals and put them where you can see them everyday.  Whether short term or long term, create a plan to achieve your goals.  Seek God for guidance as you begin to take action in implementing your plan.  Seek that motivation that will push you and keep you going.  Be passionate about your goals.  Strive each day to accomplish one item on your list that will get you closer to fulfilling your goals.  Believe in yourself and the talents God has given you.  Start each day with a purpose.  Know that God only wants the best for you.  He wants to see you prosper in all you do.
