Know Your "WHY"

“Find your why, it is your purpose, it is that which defines your existence” Christine Matenga

Hello, how are you today? Hope I find you well. I just thought I should share a little bit of my mind on the issue that I have always seen and heard over the years, pertaining to the New Year resolutions notion. Often we rush into a frenzy of goal setting and resolutions and a whole lot of stuff that at times we only chase perfection at the expense of the meaning of life itself. We forget who we are, where we come from and where we are going, we lose focus whilst under the impression that we are progressing. So I thought let me be your reminder which I really enjoy because I also will be reminding myself, let’s dive deep into the world of thoughts, enjoy…

We are at a point in our lives where everything is fast, the world is moving at a lightning speed, too busy and noisy we tend to lose ourselves in the process, the pressures are too much and we constantly seek to renew our goals, our vision and everything else seeking for perfection and forgetting our happiness and the reason why we exist as human beings. We also tend to lose ourselves being drawn deep into the pit of social media where we make influential people’s lives a benchmark of life in general, we tend to just follow and divert from our own purpose in life and just live. It is difficult to live in such a world that is constantly chasing us to be so not ourselves. A majority of people even ask “what to do with my life?, who really am I and what is my passion?”

 Wait a minute, breath: in and out, in and out, and listen…

Do you remember your purpose? Do you know your purpose? We are all here for a reason and exist to fulfil a purpose in life. Often times, especially now as the year is beginning, we go with this “new year new me” vibe forgetting that the same person who endured in the last year is exactly the one that is needed to conquer the new year, so remember that this is a new year but old you, you need you to utilise the lessons you learnt in the last year to emerge stronger, wiser and better and drive the new year by the horn not forgetting your purpose. It cannot be rushed it is a process.

As you are going through life always remember that it is important to reminisce on what your purpose is. If you do not know your purpose it is important to take time with yourself and get to know yourself better. Do not be scared to try new things, explore and find your rightful place in life.

So what am I saying? I am saying there is a significant relationship between goals and purpose. As you make and design your goals, align it with your purpose so that the world is made a better place to stay for you and the people around you. The goals that align with a sense of purpose can make a huge difference in your life and those around you.  It is also important to understand that your purpose stems from the gifts and talents you own as an individual, which is only part of the bigger picture, it is actually a combination of things and attributes making you a whole person. Do not lay idle and wait for your purpose to find you, you explore, you find it, you use your gifts, know what makes you excited, you live life and live it to the fullest.

Ways to find your purpose: I cannot stress this enough > Read, this opens a whole new world for you, cultivate a culture of gratitude and appreciate life as it comes, conduct a passion test explore and experience new things altogether, cultivate a culture of creating life where death seems the only option to other people, share the story of your life, how you were on the ground, you rose, you fought and you conquered it can change lives and be the rightful reason why you exist as a person.

It is important to know your “why”, to know your purpose in life. When you know your purpose in life, you begin to live a more meaningful life that what you do and how you do it in other areas of life begin to make sense and the ultimate goal is happiness. Thus stop searching for perfection by just making your goals and strategies to the next big thing, those are your “what” and “how”, know your why first. Goal making is an important part of your life and is highly recommended if achieving your dreams is the ultimate goal, however how useful is to be wealthy but not understanding the meaning of your life. Please take time to ponder about it and as you build your life beginning of this year, find meaning of life through knowing your purpose and using it for the greater good.

Take care of yourself and always appreciate the BEAUTIFUL person you are.
