At Painting With Purpose we are big believers in helping people find their purpose in life. I don't know how many nights I myself have laid awake wondering what I was truly meant to do. The answer isn't always clear. However, I feel if you make a continuous effort to better yourself, your "purpose" may instead find you. Often times our passions are side tracked by the necessities of life but I encourage you to keep looking towards bettering yourself. A great friend of mine often says, "Good is the enemy of great".
Now don't get me wrong. We can't all become the president of the United States or win a Nobel Prize. Also, we are not failures if our "purpose" seems less important than that of our neighbours. But I truly believe we all have the capacity to be great at something. So be honest with yourself. Are you bettering yourself today? Would you consider yourself happy? Are you doing what you truly feel you are meant to do? If you have answered no to these questions, it may be time to make a change in your life. While the road ahead won't be easy, looking back will undoubtedly make you proud of making a change.
I'll leave you with a video of a commencement speech given to Standford University by Steve Jobs (the CEO of apple). Both Jon and I are big fans of Steve and thought this video was very fitting since we are talking about purpose.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish (You'll understand why I said this after watching the video),
