Finding your life's great purpose

Would you believe you have a genius inside you?
Nice idea, you might say, but who are we kidding?
I’m an ordinary person. Nothing special about me.
That’s where you’re wrong, my friend.
Each of us has a special genius in us.
Our genius is our Higher Power working inside us.
You may have a gift for music or painting.
You may have a gift for writing or speaking.
You may be able to fix or repair anything.
You may have great athletic gifts.
You may create meals others rave about.
Whatever your gift, it came from God.
It is important to find the reason you are here.
It will give your life greater meaning.
In "The Purpose-Driven Life", Rick Warren wrote:
Without purpose, life has no meaning.
Without meaning, life has no significance.
We will feel hopeless if we live without purpose.
English novelist Thomas Carlyle wrote:
Without purpose. life is like a ship without a rudder.
What purpose will give your life meaning?
Please think about that today.
Tomorrow we’ll cover how purpose motivates you.
