Everything Has a Purpose

Desire vs. purpose
Getting my body back - Day 94
Establishing a purpose for what you do gives you the strength to keep going during the developmental growth process. Purpose makes you feel passionate about what you do - that which you enjoy and look forward to doing.
Purpose is the driving force behind desire and is the flame which keeps desire alive. It is the reason why you desire what you desire and that which causes you to persevere until the manifestation of the desire.
Purpose comes in various forms, whether it's your life purpose, a decision purpose or motivation for achieving a particular goal - your purpose behind your desire will be the final decision for its attainment.
Let's look at some examples:
We desired to grow a garden. Well, that's great, but what's the purpose behind it? Just for fun? I don't think so. It is fun, yes. But our main reason is to not only eat healthy but to save money on fruits and vegetables. Seeing that we're a large family we go through these really fast.
Our purpose/reason for having this garden is our motivation for picking out those tiny weeds, feeling aches and pains in our backs and in muscles we forgot we had and many days enduring mosquito bites. It is true that we have gained tremendously from this experience. The lessons, both naturally and spiritually are invaluable and the physical exercise, amazing. And now that we're beginning to eat some of the vegetables from the garden, it was all worth it.
I desire to get to my ideal weight of 120 lbs. But my purpose is the only thing that keeps me going, which is to fit into a size 7/8 again, feel a whole lot lighter and more energized. Oh, the joy. I could see it now.
I desire to write inspirational articles and books. But my purpose for doing so is an avenue to inspire others to change from the inside out. To share with others the tools which they can use to truly change their lives and know that they can attain that which they set out to - they can have whatever they desire and even better if they connect to the Spirit which changes them inside out.
What is your desire? What is your purpose? State your desire, but use your purpose with Spirit to propel that desire into manifestation.
Fuelling words: I desire what I desire, but I live on purpose to manifest my desires.

Have you fallen out of the human race?
When you were sent to earth, you were sent with an innate mission for the time period in which you would live.
Your talents, your abilities, your characteristics, all are to add to and enhance the family you were to be a part of, the friends you would meet, the roles you would play in society to make a worthwhile contribution in your area of planet earth.
Have you discovered your purpose?
Have you taken the time to analyze you? Or are you standing by on the sidelines watching on as others develop their talents, contributing what little they may have, to the advancement of the human race and wish you were like them?
Have you given up on life because of too many disappointments or fear of failure? What hinders you? Get back into the race and start living, be a contributor and share your talents. It may not be for the masses but may be for a small few, but the importance of your contribution may impact and change a life or a generation for a lifetime. Start small, you never know who needs to hear your message, your song, your experiences or other talents you have.
Have you been rejected in more ways than you can count?
Called names you’ve never even heard of or know what they mean?
Have you given up hope that there is a better way to life?
Have you become so discouraged that you’ve thrown in the towel on life?
Have you fallen out of the human race and you’re now standing in the bleachers looking on?
It’s time to get off the side benches and get back into the race. It’s not a sprint, but a marathon. You have a lot to offer, more than you think. Everyone was born with great potential. Oh, you’ve heard that before, but you say, not you? Think again. You need to stop looking on at others and start looking at yourself. Take an inventory.
What do you have that makes you, you? You know, you were made in the image and likeness of God. That says a whole lot about who created you, who you are and what you are capable of doing.
Image – you don’t just look like Him.
Likeness – you are like Him.
It says you are connected to awesome power and ability if you allow it to have free flow in you.
You are unique and the things you have to offer, no one else can offer it like you do. The experiences you have no one has had these exact experiences with the combination of your personality. You have been equipped with your own talents and abilities to contribute to life and better yourself and others. You have a part to play. Why not start today?
Stop looking on and rejoin the human race. You may say, well I don’t have a doctorate, or went to college or university. What’s that has to do with who you are? You still continue to live whether you have these accomplishments or not, don’t you? There are still people that you talk to or help. It’s about who you are on the inside, first.
