NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR PURPOSE AWAY FROM YOU

NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR PURPOSE AWAY FROM YOU

My wife met an old friend not long ago.

She's changed careers from what she's originally passionate about to something entirely different, absolutely not in line.

My wife asked why, and she said "this is what puts food on the table"

Why am I sharing this with you?

Have you exchanged your purpose in life for what "puts food on the table"?
Have you exchanged the work you were born to do for the work you're paid to do?

If you have done this, you may feel the early excitement that comes with earning big but such a feeling does not last.

Please, no matter what you do in life, do not exchange your life's purpose for survival. It's a great mistake.

What brings you fulfillment in life may not earn you much now but as you continue to grow and refine it, it'd eventually go up in value.

Nothing great starts great! Everything great starts small. Be comfortable doing things every day that brings you fulfillment and meaning.

Don't abandon the life of fulfillment, significance, and impact because it does not yet put food on the table.

Always remember, they can sack you from that job but no one can sack you from your purpose in life.

No one can take your purpose away from you.

I believe in you.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
