Imagine what life would be like if everything we do was done purposefully. If every interaction enhanced health, and elevated those who are down and broken. A life where we wouldn’t need to hide ourselves from one another, where we can expose our wounds and give them room to heal. I want you to ask yourself, how you can live a life that makes such a difference, a life that ignites such positivity that those around you can decide to follow suit? Are you purposefully living? When you woke up this morning, did you wake up with the purpose of making the day a healthier, happier, kinder one? When you sit down to eat that meal, do you eat with the purpose of nourishing your health, that temple? Do you drink with the purpose of healing or enriching your gifts, mind, body and spirit?
Sometimes we can be too comfortable diving into the things that are detrimental to our health, our mind, body and spirit. We can be too comfortable diving into anger and every emotion that drags down our spirit and causes us to be meanspirited, depressed, broken and anxious. We get too complacent gossiping about our brothers and sisters, dragging each other down, too comfortable causing pain and hurting one another. We are too comfortable letting ourselves go, ignoring our health, treating ourselves with deprivation of love, instead of kindness, grace and selfcare. In order to live a purposeful life, your first priority, your first project, have to be to heal you. You have to see you, you have to elevate you, you have to love you, regardless of where you are, regardless of what you have been through, regardless of who didn’t want you or told you, you weren’t good enough or attractive enough. You have to find you. And when you see that person, when you find that person whether you like them or not, you owe it to yourself to give them another chance; you owe yourself that much and more. Forgive you, be truthful to you and extend grace to you and help you heal from whatever brokenness, traumas, pain and hurt you are suffering from. To live a purposeful life, everything you do must have a purpose because you have a purpose.
