Knowing our purpose in life

Our life is driven by something. There are numerous circumstances, values and emotions that can drive our life.

Many people seek astrology or psychics to discover the meaning of life. Without a purpose in life, we feel like a failure, struggling to become something and without even knowing what it is. Without meaning, there is no significance or hope in life.

Knowing our purpose in life defines what we do and what we do not do. We know how to evaluate activities that are essential and which are not. With a clear purpose, we have a foundation to base our decisions, allocate our time, and use our resources. We do not make choice based on circumstances, pressures or mood. It is a simpler lifestyle. We become more focused, selective and effective.

Isaiah 49 : 4
I have laboured to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing.

Job 7 : 6
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end without hope

Job 7 : 16
I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone my days have no meaning
