Be in Line....

Why do so many people today feel unfulfilled in their lives, merely by going to work at some mundane job, trying to earn a living and probably stuck in a career they dont even like? The answer is simple, they are not pursuing the dreams or passions God has placed within their hearts.

We have just one life to live; hence our goal should be to live it to the fullest. This necessarily doesnt have to be by attending all the parties and club or drinking every beer in town; but by pursuing our passions and dreams.

Our destiny has to do  with what excites us; what we are passionate about or what we love doing?
Sometimes, the society or economy we find ourselves in might not permit us or make it asy for us to pursue those dreams...... I completely understand and I'm not saying we dont have to work hard, or there are not going to be  some frustrating  days, and some people we have to deal with; certainly, that is part of life.... all i'm trying to bring to our attention is we should try to find some satisfaction, contentment or reason to enjoy what we do.

One the other hand, when you are really in line with your destiny, things come naturally to you. For instance, the owl is nocturnal (it likes to be out and awake at night). God has given the owl (as well as bats) eyes that can see perfectly well at night just as human beings see during the day. If the owl decided that because some other birds are out during the day, he wanted to be out and about just like them, it would be working against God's plan and destiny for it, guess what? Problems would certainly follow for it cos first of all, it would have a hard time finding food; therefore it would be struggling for the rest f its life. So it is natural for the owl to operate at night.

Similarly, we all have been given certain gifts talents or skills that you can do well, dont take them for granted. Just because my friend is a singer or banker and she's doing well for herself, doesnt mean I should head in that direction/career path. What seems exihilarating to one person may be boring for another.

In general, life should not be a constant struggle, when you are really in line with your destiny, and enjoying what you do.... things come naturally to you. You can't do everything well, but there is something you can do very well. Look inwards, identify it & explore it....
