Have you ever thought about why you do the things that you do?

I used to believe that the things I used to do were because I had to do them. After all, they needed to be done because if I didn’t do them, they wouldn’t get done, or doing them was thrust upon me by external sources. There comes a point in a person’s life when they must “STOP” and really think about why they do what they do. One of my trusted advisors always says, “Not only must you do the right thing, but you must do the right thing for the right reason.”

You know…that “ah ha” moment! Well, I had my “ah-ha” moment yesterday while speaking with my Marketing Director from Applause Publishing Company. He helped me to realize that the many things that I do in life, from family to a business perspective, I do “On Purpose” and not by chance or by accident!
Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of Purpose is: “the aim or intention of something”

So when I provide for my children, I do it “On Purpose”
When I sow into someone’s life, I do it “On Purpose”
When I take the time out to deliver a word of encouragement, I do it “On Purpose”
When I sit quietly in a room meditating on how I can become a better person, I do it “On Purpose”

When you have your “ah ha” moment, the very intent of your heart and mind will begin to align itself, and you will begin to become more conscious and aware of why you do the things you do “On Purpose.”

I have decided that I am the only person who can change the course of my life. I only have one life to live, and I’m living it “On Purpose.” Ladies and Gentlemen, “Life is a journey, not a destination,” so enjoy it to the fullest.

Today, I pray that you experience an “ah ha” moment “On Purpose”!
