WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR MISSION HERE???
Hi to all i hope you all are doing well as i bring to you this very interesting write up on #PURPOSE
Today we want to look critically at what purpose is then in subsequent editions of my write ups we are going to see more and throw more light onYes as i asked earlier who are you and why are you here???
The question could be a difficult one for you to answer but to me I am Raphar a leader to raise and lead my generation and generations to come into the light of Gods word and the possibilities in his kingdom. To influence and transform the minds of young people who have settled to mediocrity into great influential, idealistic and visionary people, people with intellectual value... That's just a glimpse of who i am. I know you could be asking your self what all, this means. it can only make sense to you when you find your purpose.

So, what is purpose?
Its not your fist time hearing about purpose, you have been hearing people talking about it often so What comes to your mind when you hear the word purpose being pronounced? Before I dive into what purpose is I will love to say that this is a universal concept and applies to all it is not only about Christians or Muslims or Buddhist or what every religion or denomination but it is a concept that applies and should find expression in the entire human race.
Purpose simply means the intention for which something was/is created. It is the intention for manufacturing a thing or the reason why that thing came.
A great writer Dr. Myles Munroe says
“Unknown purpose always wastes time and gives the possibility of danger”
― Myles Munroe
Your purpose here on earth is different from your ambitions and most at times we get confused and entangled in expressing which one is purpose and which is ambition.
Now, In a tabular manner lets look at 2 other differences between Purpose
PURPOSE | AMBITION |
---|---|
PURPOSE is born with us, it exists innately – being there before the time of conception. PURPOSE is why we were created. | AMBITION is quite the opposite. We aren’t born with it, rather it develops as we grow. |
PURPOSE: The reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc | AMBITION: An earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, & the willingness to strive for its attainment. |
So I will at this stage recommend that you follow me on steemit to read all my articles on the pursuit for purpose here and better still follow me on steemit so you get every article I publish here
So, I will love to say your joy and satisfaction, your peace, influence and joy comes and is found in your purpose.

When you identify that specific reason, you were born for then you begin to get satisfaction. Heyy!! Do you know that it doesn’t end at just finding it you must strive to maximize and live it out.
Someone once said that "the cemetery is the richest place on earth "
Do you know why??, this is true because buried in the cemeteries and grave yards are ideas, dreams, visions, books songs, and many other things that were never fulfilled.
So, are you Living just your ambitions or both your ambitions and your purpose???

thanks @verlonji
I really enjoyed reading the difference between purpose and ambition. Its a very big question to answer; "Why are we here?" What's the purpose of our lives?
This question always plunges me into deep reflection and i recommend Dr. Myles Munroe books for those who seek to acquire wisdom.
This is a very good piece that i encourage people to read and i look forward to reading more about #purpose.
