take control of your life

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit with some friends and coworkers and talk about our futures and purpose.  Some felt as if they haven’t found their purpose or know what direction to go in. Few, even older and more established, couldn’t say they knew what their purpose was but are very eager to find out.

I believe you will always find your purpose, if you don’t go looking for it.  We are given opportunities and experiences that aren’t always for us but for others. You just have to let some things happen and let life consume you to the point of where you allow yourself to live in that very moment every day.  Don’t question things or fight what you were given, just work with it and enjoy what you’re going through whether it’s good or bad because you allow yourself to be in control.

Like I said, don’t go looking for your purpose because you’re never going to know.  Stay ambitious and positive through all things because even the small things can manifest into something great. Something that you enjoy that it will suddenly click when you know this is what you were here to do. Don’t force it!  With me, I always have an idea or plans of my future but along my journey, even if things come up, I don’t shoot those opportunities down because they don’t look like what I want.  You don’t ever know what you want, or need. Those unexpected times can show you things inside of yourself that you never noticed and your whole plan can change.

Remember, be accepting, stay positive, and take control of your life, don’t let it run you.  Don’t force it!
