They say the two greatest moment in a man's life are: the day is born and the day he finds his purpose. The latter is usually the hardest. People who possess powerful driving force usually have a stronger purpose.  Purpose for me is simply the reason you exist. Believe it or not, everyone on this planet earth, has a reason for their existence and it is really important you find yours.


Purpose affects every area of one's life. From the way you talk, walk, and even the way you wake up is all affected by it. People with purpose for their lives practically jump out of bed while people without purpose become friends with the snooze button when the alarm rings. I met a lady once, and I asked her what is the next big thing for her. This is a question we normally ask around here when one someone is about to round up his/her 1st degree program from the university. She replied in pidgin "I go go service first then after service, I go try find husband marry then maybe the guy go open provision shop way I go dey sale dey take care of house"(for those not grounded in pidgin, it simply means she plans to find herself a husband after a one year of compulsory service the her nation, then hope her husband open up a kiosk where she can retail goods). Jeez! I was left speechless. Suddenly, I started understanding most of her actions, she always spoke about marriage, she was in one relationship or another, because what she has decided to be her purpose is to get married. The greatest epiphany I had that day is the fact that she is just one out of a million ladies thinking this way.


The male folks don't smile yet because you guys are also guilty of this, most young guys of today are waiting on relatives to make their dreams of being independent come through, that is their purpose. Please don't get me wrong, all what I have stated above are purpose, but they are weak and poor purpose and are products of poor driving force. You can't let your life's purpose be in the hands of an unknown future husband or a kind hearted relative, more or less you have placed your life and future in their hands


Your purpose is not about getting a good paying job or a good man to marry, it is way beyond that. Your purpose is the role you have to play in Life and on earth. Your purpose is your legacy and what you will be remembered for when you gone. Your purpose should bring value to humanity and not just yourself. In simple words your purpose is the reason why you were born and the vacuum you were created to fill.


Lastly, don't feel is to late to find your purpose, it is true great minds like Michael Jackson discovered his at the tender age of 5 and Ludwig Beethoven discovered his at 8. But some other people discovered theirs pretty late(or so the world thought) a shining example is the great Colonel Harland David Sander the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken who discovered his at the age of 65, Morgan Freeman scored his first big movie role at the age 50. So, is never too late just keep searching within you and you will find your purpose. So, like I always say when I want to live, keep working towards success and I will definitely see you at the top.
