The Pursuit of Purpose

Change.  Growth.  Dreams.  Moments.  Success.  Strength. 

We have talked about pursuing all of them over the past few weeks.  Now, as we close “The Pursuit” I want to share some thoughts on what I believe is the most fulfilling, yet the most challenging to maintain.  The Pursuit of Purpose. 

As you and I continue to live day by day, month by month, and year after year, time passes quickly and if we are not careful we end up with wasted time because we lose our purpose.  Time we can never get back. 

Finding our purpose is like discovering the light that guides us through the darkness, and the darkness can overwhelm us if we lose that light. 

It’s about unearthing what truly ignites our passion and gives our lives meaning.  Pursuing purpose isn’t just about achieving goals or fulfilling duties; it’s about understanding the profound impact we can have on the world and ourselves.

Each day is an opportunity to align our actions with our deepest values, to contribute positively in the lives of those around us, and to grow.

Embracing our purpose brings clarity, motivation, and a sense of fulfillment. It’s a path that encourages us to dream big, persevere through challenges, and celebrate our unique contributions.

Remember, purpose, like success, isn’t a destination but a lifelong journey of exploration and growth.  A lifelong journey. My goal, as I enter my 63rd year on this earth in a few weeks, is to never quit pursuing purpose. 

So join me, step boldly into the adventure of discovering and living your purpose, and watch as your life transforms into a testament of inspiration and impact.

Let’s Pursue Our Purpose!

I’m Cheering For You!
