No human being was designed to walk this earth without purpose. Life should have mean and each waking moment, we should discover our reason for existence.

Imagine waking up every single day without purpose and identity. I was one of those who never dared to ask the questions. I remember some days the void is filled with events, tasks and people and other times I dread getting out of bed, I am frustrated, depressed because the finite thing that was the energy disappeared.

Through learning and curiosity, I am slowly discovering my place in this world. I am on this journey of self-discovery and introspection. It’s an exciting process and scary at the same time. As I enjoy reading the bible you realise every being has a purpose for existence

• Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity
• Abraham became the father of many nations
• Paul preached the gospel to the gentiles

You can live and die for your purpose once you discover it. On the journey to finding purpose you are trying to piece together the puzzle of life. A life lived with purpose is one that’s enriched with happiness, motivation, and mental wellbeing. It helps us find meaning in everyday life, bringing fulfilment and contentment. It’s what grounds us, and it’s the drive that powers us to make our ambitions worth while

To find the purpose,

• be willing to ask the questions, be curious and intentional.
• Sometimes we are living out the purpose of others - our parents or teachers
• And other times we get into survival mode. It’s no longer about finding purpose but surviving.
