Tasting Purpose

Caffeinated Thought of the Week:

What does a purpose filled life look for you? If you are like me, you immediately start looking within yourself—what you can achieve and accumulate. However, I hate to break it to you; turn around and head in the opposite direction. The point of purpose is to figure out how you can serve others. Purpose is all about coming to a means to an end.
Here are three ways to help discover purpose in your life:

• What drives your life? - Validation, materials, resentment, fear, or an identity rooted in Christ.
• Who are you here for? - Your purpose is intricately linked to the impact you have on others.
• At the end of your life, what will people be thanking you for?

WARNING: It’s tough to go back to normal, after you tasted purpose.
