主人からK君へあてた手紙を見せてもらいました。
頭の中にはっきりと降りてきたそうです。
まずはそのまま投稿いたします。
胸のつかえがすぅ~っと、取れるような内容です。
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kyle,
I know one day that you will wonder what your purpose is. I wondered that for 42 years and I just got it today. I used to be frustrated with life, not knowing what God had set out for me to do. I wondered if there was something more meaningful for me to do. I wondered if I was living life to its fullest. Was this it? Was this my destiny?
I thought about and I realized that our destiny is not determined as of yet. Every day is still left to be written. Life is happening all around us every minute of every day, and we are part of it. It is part of us. We can choose how we want to live it. We can decide where we want to go. We can choose what we want to say. We choose how to think. We choose who we want to spend the day. Life is our choice. We write the future and impact the future with everything we say and do. The future is written from what we do in the present. Our destiny is right now.
We can make an impact if we live for the present. We can learn from our mistakes, but we need to open our minds to receiving the lessons. We need to understand that everything happens for a reason and that we impact those around us by our actions, our thoughts, and our words. We impact our surroundings by the decisions we make. But most importantly, we need to understand that we will make mistakes and continue to make mistakes in order to learn the lessons and move forward into the future.
The Bible guides us and teaches us the many lessons in life. It creates the foundation to live a healthy, prosperous life. We are able to learn from others and read their stories so we do not walk down a similar path. The path is known and so is the outcome. The teachings allow us to make better decisions, which in turn will create better action, which in turn creates better circumstances, and becomes part of our future. We begin writing our own destiny.
So how is this relevant to our life's purpose? How is writing our destiny our purpose? Our purpose is our destiny and our destiny is our purpose. Our purpose in life is to live. Our purpose in life is to enjoy every day. Our purpose in life is to be happy. Our destiny is to live. Our destiny is to live and to enjoy every day. Our destiny is to be happy. They are one and the same.
Live life. Make decisions that will make you and those you care about happy. Help others find happiness in their lives. Enjoy your life, for you only have one life to live. This is it. There are no second chances so live it well. Make decisions that will lead to positive results. This is your purpose. This is your destiny.
You can do this if you are a restaurant manager, a doctor, a lawyer, a painter, a musician, a teacher, a butcher, or a garbage man. These are simply jobs. They only bring money into our lives so we are able to live. They put food on the table, water in our bodies, and provide a shelter over our head. The type of job determines what food can be placed on the able, what kind of water can be put into our bodies, and what kind of roof is placed over our heads. At the end of the day it is just food, beverage, and shelter. It will not make you happy, but you need these things in order to live. They are fundamental to life.
What will make you happy is knowing you are fulfilling your destiny every day, that you are living your life with a sense of purpose. You will be satisfied knowing that you are making an impact every day.
I hope this helps you when you question this one day. I hope my words can guide you in your hour of need. I hope it will provide an answer for you to question and reflect. But most importantly, I hope it allows you live a better, happier, more fulfulling life.
Dad
