A life of Purpose

Imagine you’re on a long stretch of highway going for a ride in a new convertible. The sun is shining. The wind is whipping across your face. You have no worries. If you don’t have a destination, you’ll stop everywhere along the way. The further you drive, it starts getting dark, the car is out of gas, and it begins to rain. You’re in the middle of nowhere, there isn’t a gas station in sight, and you have no place to go. How miserable would you be? That is the same way purpose works. Everyone starts out hopeful for the future. As a child you are excited about growing up and finding out what life has to offer. Nevertheless, without a purpose, you get distracted by everything that interests you and before you know it, life has hit you hard and you’ve lost all sense direction. The car represents your gifts that, without motivation or direction, can no longer drive you. That can lead to a very unhappy and unfulfilling life.
