Living on Purpose

The confidence in knowing that you are approved by God and not people brings great joy and peace. Everyone has a story to tell, but each story is distinct because no one else has had the same challenges or struggles in the same way. There are elements in each story that definitively identify passion and purpose, making one not better than anyone else but different. Although each individual's life is unique, they grow and develop through the same basic sequence. The course of one's life involves a complex process in which there are qualitatively different phases or seasons. Change occurs in every season that requires transitional shifting from one to another. Success is no accident. It is difficult work that demands perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most importantly, love of what you are doing. Expectation is the breeding ground of great achievements; therefore, you can expect to receive after enduring seasons of preparation. This book is based upon lessons learned on the journey throughout many decades of life's experiences which continues to be-a ride of a lifetime. Learning to live on purpose and knowing why can be helpful for becoming secure in your identity. Insecurities experienced during challenging times help to define who you really are at the core and to discover your why. You are challenged, for the most part, in chaos and not in comfort.
