TOO MUCH TO LIVE FOR

Watch the news, take a walk through the inner cities, or simply talk to the majority of our youth, and you’ll see and hear of a society that has lost a zeal for life. The wisest king to live was King Solomon, and he was quoted as saying “When there is no vision, people perish.” This is so true, when people have no reason, purpose or desire to live, they will live aimless lives.

In the last decade or so I have had two life challenging health issues. The first was the morning I woke up and the left side of my face was paralyzed. The doctors told me it was cerebral palsy, a condition that would affect my motor skills. This was horrifying news to a young healthy twenty something man. I was told my condition would either get better or worse, but no one was able to tell. After several months, thank God, my condition got better and was reversed. This ordeal should have made me focus more on my life purpose, but it didn’t. Like many people I ignored this warning and continued to live life as it happened.

The next health challenge I was met with was a mild stroke at the age of twenty-six. As I lay on that stretcher, I had a sense that this was not the end, but a time of reflection. I thought about my family, my life and what I had done with it up until that time. On that day, on that stretcher riding in the ambulance, I made the choice to live life to the fullest.

I begin to ask God, why was I really here on earth. I didn’t want to waste any more time. From this inner search for meaning, I received my life purpose. In a nut shell, my purpose would be to help individual live their best life. I wouldn’t let this second warning go by without life altering changes.

This compelling vision would be my guiding light. My whole life is centered around people finding their reason for living. Each of us are here for a purpose, finding that purpose is the answer to a fulfilled life.

If you have found your life’s purpose, then you know what I’m talking about. I want to challenge you to help at least three other people find theirs.

We all have too much to live for…………………………..
