Life's purpose statement

 



Living on purpose is the only way to really live. Everything else is just existing. - R.W.

There are 3 common basic issue everyone struggle in life:
¬Identity - Who am I?
¬Impotance - Do I matter?
¬Impact - What is my place in life?

So, what is a life purpose statement?

I'll attempt to break this down by Life's 5 Greatest Questions:

1. What will be the center of my life?

God is in the center of my life. The way how everything is happening to me, all that I am is all because of HIM. Without God navigating my life with all the incidence, I cannot think of how I would be able to do all that by myself. Truly, HE is in the center of my life.

2. What will be the character of my life?

I question a lot about characters of my life. I am a female, a daughter, a sister, a colleague, a friend, a sister-in-Christ, a niece, a granddaughter, an aunt, a cousin, a mentor, a counsellor, a student, a citizen, a traveller, a foreigner, a child of God... What else... I can only reflect that across all the different characters I play as the main character of this film called ME is the consistent calm self who tries to ensure harmony.

3. What will be the contribution of my life?

Hmmm... you bet, it's a tough one to define. I contribute to living a life as is. I contribute to nurture anyone I engage with as the best in each role I play. I contribute to not just lead but the keyword is nurture growth in every type of relationships I engage with. Something that I will be remembered as "The one who made an impact in the lives I touch".

4. What will be the communication of my life?

I treat each day like an endless adventurous journey. No matter what comes my way in any of the roles I play, each in its own journey is a form of adventure. I don't want to over-define and over-plan life because it is not mine but GOD's. I have to keep reminding myself so that I know that I cannot control but I am granted wisdom to address and live this amazing life.

5. What will be the community of my life?

As there are so many characters I play in this life, I have that circles of community developed for me to continuously have different parts of life that I can continuously grow and enjoy. Be it in the family, extended family, friendsmily, at work, at church and anywhere else...


A good way for me to close this season of 2023 and embark on 2024's adventure.

Trust: Who & Why?

Who do I trust?   Never given this a good thought but if I really think about it, I don't have ONE that I trust wholeheartedly. I tend to break them all apart in pieces. I've never made a clear deep connection with a single person.  The pieces that I segment them into: Unattached and Random: These are the ones I would meet randomly at various social gatherings or any kind like for picnic, language exchange, drinks, hiking, badminton, or basically anything that does not lead of deeper commitments. Met at different points of my life: These are basically friends who knew the version of ME from the past at the point of when they met me. Friends from schools, college, university, work and church. They all met the versions of ME and are not entirely familiar with the whole version of ME. Grounded with some commitment: These are basically my extended family like cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends who has upgraded to become like distant siblings. They occassionally con...

The meaning of life...

  Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do. Ephesians 5:15 (PH)   We all have that moment when we asks ourselves this question,  "What is the meaning of life?" OR "Why am I here?" Wouldn't it be great to have a straightforward answer to life's mystery. I grew up only knowing Christ in a Christian family. There was no other options or choices to explore because I just see how God shower His Grace and Blessings on the family. I never knew how life would be like without my Heavenly Father who I could just run to and share my burden with. Because of how I grew up with this deep trust in God, I never really fully understand when I meet people who meets Christ for the first time in the different phases of their lives that changed their whole life. I call that impact. I automatically inherited the access to Christ unlike other people. So, I never ever say "I understand what you're go...
