THERE ARE THREE REASONS WHY YOU ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR YOUR PURPOSE.

I know that many people, like you, struggle with figuring out what their life's mission is. And this can be aggravating, especially if you've looked and searched yet are still caught in a rut and completely perplexed. Well, here are a few reasons why you're still battling to uncover your life's purpose:

1. FRIENDS IN YOUR CIRCLE: "Show me your friend, and I'll show you who you are," according to an old adage. As we all know, this is completely accurate. Many people treat friendship as if it were a game... Allow me to tell you a story.

I purposefully sought new acquaintances during my early years of being intentional about my life. Those that I knew were doing better than me, in particular.

I made acquaintances with folks that pushed me to grow as a person. Not just by what they say, but also by what they do. People who were driven by a desire to succeed. You don't need a prophet to inform you that you need to level up when you see your buddies succeeding. With the passage of time, I began to learn, unlearn, and relearn. It was a procedure that I took my time with. What's more, you know what? Most of my old pals began to notice my changes over time. It was clear.Those who refused to accept the new me had no choice but to succumb. Keep company with friends who can teach you something useful!

If you still have buddies who don't plan ahead of time for what they'll eat or wear the next day. People who are only concerned with little matters. Then it can be difficult for you, my dear. It's like a prostitute who claims she wants to change but continues to associate with other prostitutes. Her attempts are bound to be rebuffed sooner or later.
Make the conscious decision today to let rid of friends who do not push you to improve. If you keep hanging out with them, you won't see the point in aspiring to be better or seeking self-discovery because mediocrity will become the norm.

2. YOUR ENVIRONMENT: The environment in which you find yourself can limit your ability to discover God's purpose for you. To observe the tough yet wonderful life outside, you must sometimes leave your comfort zone. Some environments do not encourage growth at all, thus if you truly want to grow, you need alter your surroundings. That is why most young guys leave the village to seek greener pastures in the city, where they can learn a profession or skill and find greater possibilities. Build a company and only visit the village at special occasions. They know that if they stay in the village where they're most at ease, they'll be fine, where they can see their friends, family, or local village folks who they are familiar with.

Their chances of succeeding are quite modest. They are aware of the situation and act accordingly. It's possible that the village isn't the environment that's constraining you. However, it's possible that you have a favorite hangout area where you meet folks who solely talk about unrelated topics. That part of the world where mediocrity is accepted as usual. It doesn't matter if the environment is physical or not. God may enable you to experience some pain and difficulties in life in order for you to leave your comfort zone and fulfill your mission. I'm sure you've figured out what I'm talking about by now.

3. LIMITING BELIEFS: I know a lot of people who are great at second-guessing their own decisions. They believe that greatness is reserved for a select few, while they have only come to the world to bestow praises and cheer others on as bystanders. So pitiful! So many people have refused to believe that they are unique or that they were made for a certain reason. You must accept the fact that you were made by God for a specific purpose, and as a result, you are unique and should be noticed! Stop putting yourself down.

You can do something better than 99 other people. I recall wanting to compliment someone and hearing the following from him: "aaaah Me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I haven't been able to contact you. Ooh, I'll never get to that level. I'm a small boy." He essentially said everything negative about himself there. I couldn't help but smile and wish he knew better... Get rid of the mindset that says you're not good enough. Get rid of the mindset that makes you feel bad about yourself.

Allow me to assure you that your dreams and ideas are valid today. On the planet Earth, you have a space to rule.

P.S. I recognize that poor self-esteem can develop as a result of painful experiences in the past, as well as continual harsh comments from friends and relatives who don't know any better. In my next post, I'll offer some advice on how to deal with low self-esteem.

Which of these points strikes a chord with you the most?
