PURPOSE DISCOVERY EQUALS DESTINY RECOVERY (PART FIVE)

HOW EXACTLY DO YOU DISCOVER PURPOSE? (IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY)
Proverbs of Solomon Chapter 25 verse 2 actually talks about the fact that it is the glory of God to conceal a matter but it is the honour of kings to search out a matter. How does this apply to you? Well, it is relevant to you because even though your lifes purpose may not be readily pointed out to you, it is your duty or your responsibility to search it out. There are at least four ways by which you can find your purpose. Number one is through inner reflection, number two is through seeking external opinion, number three is thinking about genetic links and number four is finding out people and things of your admiration.


The first method of discovering your lifes purpose and calling is to look inside of you and point out those things which you do easily and which gives you satisfaction and fulfillment. What do you love doing that you do not get bored with?



What is that thing that whenever you start working on it you do not even take cognizance of time? Is it speaking? Is it writing? What could it be for you? You forget that one hour, two hours, three or even four hours have passed by like magic?


What would you spend your life doing if what you will need money for will be given to you free of charge? What would you spend your life doing if money was not a problem?
What is it that gets you emotionally charged that you feel like you must correct a mistake in the system or you must address a particular situation? (Are your ideas flowing in already?)
What gives you energy?


"For me, Facebook is neither work nor pleasure. This is my mission, something that gives me energy, it is the only thing I can do in this life," says Mark Zuckerberg.



At the age of 29, he was worth a massive 13.3 billion dollars.
You have to nurture your nature. By nurturing your nature, I mean that you have to deliberately grow that part of you that is in line with your personality.
All of these questions raised above are what you should ask yourself during your inner reflection for discovering your purpose.  List them out even if they seem usual or normal to you because what seems usual to you could be extraordinary to others. List them out whether they are big or small, significant or insignificant.


 This is an extremely important process, however many people underestimate their endowments because it feels "just normal and ordinary" You need to give yourself the benefit of the doubt and list them out with child-like obedience. Your perception may have been coloured by the lenses of Mr. Doubt and Mrs. Underestimation.

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

-

Cross examination is a delicate act and art that requires mastery of the intricacies therein and understanding of the subtle nuances of human nature. The following tips are relevant.  The first rule of cross examination is not to examine crossly. Abuse is not an argument, no matter who gives it. It is dog's eloquence to  abuse and stoop low to injure another's personality. Get the defendant to commit to absolute statements; then confront him with the damaging letter or evidence. Proceed with as much easiness as if the value of a loss in cross examination were less than a kobo. Establish other possibilities that are open even when the evidence is or appears to be  substantially true. Cross examination can be directed to show that witness was occupied with circumstances surrounding the fact rather than the fact itself. This can be skewed to show that the witness was completely inattentive when the incident happened.

GOAL SETTING AND GO GETTING; THE EAGLE EXAMPLE (PART FOUR)

 THE EAGLE'S NEST The eagles nest is a sight to behold; It weighs more than two tonnes and in fact, it can support two grown men. You do not find this kind of nest anywhere else. It is usually found in the most remote and unattainable spot the bird can find and then it will be perched very high in the mountains or on some sheer cliff or a very high tree. Due to the massive size of this nest and the fact that each and every stick and materials like timber from construction sites, discarded clothing, paper, fresh stick, grass and leaves  to prevent the nest from getting dirty  has to be carried to this remote building by the eagle, you will easily agree that the nest building will be a huge task for the eagle. The eagle, however, is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of this task. It understands the power of goals and taking little steps  which add up in the long run  towards the achievement of these goals. As Robert Schuller said, “By the yard, it is hard but in

WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE By ISHOLA EMMANUEL There is a very interesting experiment which I would like to share with you. The experiment is this: Try taking a container and put in it, carefully selected big stones. Make sure that the stones are big and put them at the bottom of the container. Now place on top of the container stones of smaller sizes. By now you would have a container with small stones on top and big stones underneath. The next thing is that you shake the container. What would you find? You would find that the smaller stones wuld find their way to the bottom while bigger stones will find their way to the top. The big stones signifies people who have built capacity in areas such as physically, mentally, spiritually, socially etc. but due to the vicissitudes of life find themselves down. Whenever you find yourself in this category, I am here to tell you that it is only a temporary phase. You will rise again. Whenever you find your self down
