The Million Dollar Question...
Alright, I know that this is a big thing to be talking about on my first entrance into the blogging world, but why not. The question I have is not "what is the purpose of life?", but "how do we start to find what our purpose is?" For instance, I am starting to believe that it is not the realization of our "dreams" that give us our purpose, but the things we do and the ideals we hold important as we pursue them.
OK, here comes another example. For the last 8 years I have pursuing a dream of "making it" in the music industry, as every Christian musician does-- wanting to turn the music industry around. That is all well and good, and I am still pursuing that, but what if our purpose has little or nothing to do with that individual dream? We all know or have heard that our purpose is to glorify God in everything we do. What if your dream takes precedence or you (like I have for so long) believe that realizing the dream will be the way you glorify God? What do we do with all of that? We certainly don't quit, but I think that we need to, in a way, forget about our dream as being paramount and focus on the lives that we are living. I would love to hear your comments about this.
Peace Out, Two Fingers
