Gods Purpose For Your Life (Part 3)

Discovering Your Vision

If you were to give a speech about yourself at your funeral what would you like it to read??? What accomplishments would be listed and which areas of life would you have made a positive impact?
What would yo like to be remembered for doing? It could be something as simple as impacting your community for good or something as big as discovering the cure for cancer.

That speech is your vision; Don't limit the vision inside you because it's way bigger that what you can presently see.

STEP 1: Write your speech out, preferably in a book because a piece of paper can easily get lost and you're going to find yourself coming back to your speech to help you stay focused as you run with your vision.

STEP 2: List out the specific accomplishments you mentioned. e.g. he/she was known for her charitable works towards the children in her community! or he/she started a research program to find and develop a cure for brain cancer etc.

STEP 3: Carry out a research on what skill set, ability and degree is needed to successfully achieve those accomplishments listed in step 2.
Don't be in a haste, do this for ALL the accomplishments listed in your speech! Use whatever tool is available to carry out this research e.g. google, asking family, friends, teachers and those already doing similar things. Search for information in books also. Leave no stone unturned in this stage because it will shape your next decision and action!!!

STEP 4: Take a realistic look at each accomplishment and the skills needed in relation to the resources currently available to you. After measuring them against your available resources, pick which accomplishments you can pursue immediately and which ones to leave for a later time when you are either more knowledgeable or have more resources available.

Don't feel bad about the ones you cannot immediately pursue because everything has its set time in life Ecclesiastes 3:1.
If you have difficulty picking, run the most realistic accomplishments and their requirements by trusted friends and family members, mentors or counsellors. Use their feedback to re-analyze and make an informed decision.
This helps because our eyes are sometimes closed to what is so glaringly obvious to others.

STEP 5: After choosing, GET UP AND MOVE!!! NO MORE EXCUSES!!!

Depending on your vision this process could take you from one week to 8 weeks! It should however not last more than 3 months!!!

YOUR TIME STARTS NOW!!! WRITE THAT SPEECH & GET MOVING!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
