Discover it. Protect It.

Many times, I catch myself watching my little cousins as they grow. I remember my little cousin Orlando saying from as early as the age of 5 that he was going to be an engineer. He fascinated me with his goal; and somewhat made me chuckle at how easy it seemed to him to get there, and how I knew otherwise.

 

The older I've grown, the more I have found myself seeking my purpose. What is the real reason we are here? What exactly is it that we were made to do?

 

At 25, I like to think that I have finally discovered my purpose; and it starts with this blog. Although, I planned to do so many other things, and go into so many different directions, God placed me right back here. I remember when I was in the fifth grade, I said "Im going to be a psychologist. I want to help others!", and hearing the negative opinions from that. Then, I wanted to be an English teacher, and was told that wasn't the best idea either. Needless to say, in my 25 years of living, I have been falling in and out of love with jobs, careers, and my purpose because of the opinions of others.

 

How many of you are doing that right now? Letting the world determine where you're supposed to be and what you're supposed to be doing based solely on their opinions? From the day we were born, to now, God has instilled a purpose in us all, and we only have two jobs when it comes to that purpose:

 

Discover it

Protect it

 

Who would have known that at 9, I had discovered my purpose in helping others? At 9, I had done something that many people are still trying to figure out, but I didn't protect it. Like many, I allowed the world to steal what God had given to me.

Many of us walk around aimlessly trying to figure out why God didn't bless us with

our divine purpose...

But truth is, we have to come to grips that He did!

We all were given our special purpose!

Some may appear to be bigger than others, but we ALL have a purpose.

 

 

So right now...

Start with discovering it

then do all you can do to protect.

don't let others steal what God has blessed you with.
