Cycle 1 Session 1 - Finding My Purpose

Self-Reflection Questions 

WHO do you want to be remembered as? 

WHAT character traits of yours stand out to other people? 

WHERE do you believe your life's journey is taking you? Think about your timeline. 

WHY do the people you're around matter?

WHEN you've experienced struggles or setbacks in the past, what is usually the outcome?

HOW does your belief system play a part in you finding your purpose?

Preparing for your Purpose.

• Preparing is not just about reaching the goal. It is about the journey. Diligently planning and disciplining yourself through study and maintaining a steady schedule, ultimately leading to success. Success will bring you great rewards. Preparation allows you to try different ways and push past the temporary setback and keep going until you succeed. Either way, you have gained knowledge that you did not have before the preparation. Knowledge always converts to wisdom and understanding, which leads to growth. You should always acknowledge your effort and all the things you have learned.

Self-Reflection Points

• You cannot manage success without having an established and workable schedule, a profitable plan, and a clear objective.  

• Everything in nature has an organized schedule, plan, and purpose. The tiny Bumblebee, a large ocean, and even the sand on the sea. So you, with all your talents and wonders, must believe that you have a divine schedule, plan, and purpose.  

• Your career and your purpose should be in harmony with one another.  However, keep in mind that a career is what you do; your purpose is how you fulfill life's meaning for yourself.

• Your purpose can be revealed to you at different times in your life. It may take multiple events and experiences that may need to trigger your interest over time. Have a willingness to explore and learn new things. When you start to see the impact you make in the world or in a person’s life, your passion will start to build.

• Try your best to live an authentic lifestyle; living out someone else's dream for you will make them happy and leave you still searching for your purpose.  

• You should never pass up a chance to congratulate yourself.  Be proud of yourself; only you can do what you do.

• Be in control of your life, be the leader in your life, don't confuse other people's noise with progress. Checks and Balances

• ALWAYS remember you are human and being imperfect is a part of our day. 

"You are the light of the world.  .....Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"  Matthew 5:14-16 Holy Bible
