In order to move forward in life, to achieve your God-given goals and the destiny that is yours to fulfill, there needs to come a point in your life where you stand up straight, in the face of opposition, impossibility and whatever else stands in your way from being all that you were created to be, and declare, ‘This means war!’

Life will continue to play with you, and it will continue to lure you into mediocrity. Life will continue to keep you busy doing the ordinary – until you stop and draw a line in the sand of life and shout, ‘This means war!’

To be filled with passion is to be driven by a desire to achieve. For you have received a dictate – an order – a command for your life. You have stepped from the state of ordinary into a transformed new state called extraordinary.

Spoiled for eternity’s purposes.

You no longer live in the land of the mediocre. You have been translated into the nation of excellence.

Every decision you now make, every step you now take is directed by an inbuilt compass that will guide your every step, influence your every decision, and enlighten your every turn that you take.

A fresh purpose has been deposited within your being, and like a magnet you will begin to attract like minded people. Someone once told me that you never need worry about money if you have a vision. Finance flows to an unstoppable vision, for the world is crying out for dreamers,  screaming out for a cause and is looking for the visionaries, the pioneers, and the leaders.

I was talking to my best friend last night and began asking them some deep questions.

The first question I asked was, ‘What do you think you have been called to do in your lifetime?’ Finding it hard to answer this, there was a deafening silence that pervaded the atmosphere.

I then asked, ‘For what purpose have you been born for?’ Again no answer, accompanied by a puzzled facial expression.

I was determined to help them to unveil the answers to these tough questions, so I continued with, ‘What gets you mad? What gets you fired up?’ Once again they were unable to verbalize their true feelings.

So with a final ditch I asked the question that clinched the deal. ‘What would you do if you had twelve million dollars?’

‘Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.’ Henry David Thoreau

Many live their lives being driven by circumstances – by making a living, by paying the mortgage, or by keeping up appearances.

May I suggest that there is a far better way to live your life. And that is to ‘go confidently in the direction of your dreams’. Make your dreams the compass that guides your every decision, and leads your every step.

At times the dream may even direct you to discard the acceptable, the normal, and to even abandon the status quo. But by doing so you will embark upon a life so exciting, so exhilarating, that at times it will even take your breath away.

To live a life totally bound by meetings, schedules, tasks, or programs can ultimately deaden the dream, if you let it. So make a point to at times choose to ignore the email, the voice mail, the diary entry, and pause to rediscover the dream. In confidence then take your next step in the direction of your dreams. Let it be the light that leads you through the darkness of a busy and demanding life.

There is an inner genius; a unique peculiarity about you like no other. But how often do I hear the cry from the confused mind, ‘I don’t know what to do with my life.’

How sad it is that so many have gone to the grave having never discovered their personal idiosyncrasy. This is the thing that makes you you and me me. The likes, the dislikes, the leanings, the urges, the promptings, the desires, the wishes, the dreams, the hopes and the plans.

But how many allow the daily demands of life to interfere with the greatest question that is imparted to us when we are first born and demands an answer:  ‘For what purpose have I been created for?’
