THE BIGGEST GRAVEYARDS OF PURPOSE
THE BIGGEST GRAVEYARDS OF PURPOSE
Many people’s purposes and potentials have been buried in various graveyards of life, and they have no idea.
I want to show you some of the biggest or worst graveyards of purpose in life. What are they and how you can guide against them or break free from them.
1. CAREER
Some people are stuck in a job they don’t like with people they don’t like, in an environment they hate. They hate Mondays and love Fridays and they seem stuck in the rat race. They can’t quit because their career has become their security. This is a risky way to live.
Don’t let your career bury your purpose. Find your purpose and pursue it with passion every day of your life.
2. EDUCATION
Some people’s purposes have been buried because they studied a course that has come to define their destinies. They feel because they studied the course and excelled at it, then it’s their life’s calling. That may not be your calling.
If you are not feeling fulfilled, then get out! For some others, the educational system has termed them ‘average’ or ‘failure’, so they accept that identity and refuse to pursue purpose. Don’t let anything or anyone define you!
3. SOCIETY
One of the worst ways to live your life is by society’s definition of how you should live it. Some people’s lives have been governed by people’s opinion since they were a child. Now, they are grown yet still chained!
They are so used to “what will people say?” and as a result, they can’t accept the calling on their life. If this is you, you need the help of a mentor or coach to help you defeat that limiting belief and get out of that rut!
4. MINDSET
Some people are stuck in their limiting beliefs that life is meant to be lived in a certain way that puts a lid over their lives. They feel, like everyone else, life has to be about completing your studies, getting a job, getting married and eventually dying!
They have no idea how to live a meaningful and significant life. They can’t see beyond their current lifestyle.
There is more to life than going to work everyday and eventually dying.
5. THE PAST
The quickest way to die while driving is to focus on the rear-view mirror. That something happened to you when you were age 17 does not mean you should still hold on to it at 57.
Even if you were hurt, you need to heal and move on. That’s the only way to live a life of purpose. The past is dead unless you give it life. Stop giving your past power over you.
Don’t let the bitterness, anger, resentment and pains of the past bury your future. Stop giving your past life more than you should.

If you can relate to any of these graveyards, your time to break free is now. The purpose of God for your life should not be buried. Now is the time to break free.
Your life is more valuable to be buried or defined by these graveyards. Your time has come to come out of obscurity into the light God has destined for you before the foundations of the world.
SO, ARE YOU READY TO BREAK FREE?
In my coaching programme, I help people break free from these graveyards on a daily basis. I can help you too. I want to help you. Send me a message at samuelekundayo.com/coaching

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
