Purpose

According to dictionary.com, Purpose is the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.

Recently I bought a book from PowerBooks, entitled "Man in the Mirror" by Pat Morley. After reading the few chapters, the book made me realize to step a few step backwards and analyze the big picture of life. Its true, most of the people today dont get it. Most are chasing the wind without knowing it. What is the point of living? What is the reason for my existence? One should really consider giving himself sometime to meditate his purpose.

Purpose is also referred in the movie series Italic The Matrix text in which Mr. Smith describes purpose as the sole reason anything exists.

"Agent Smith: I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die.... with some satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened- something I thought would be impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. Afterwards, I was aware of the rules. I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I was compelled to stay- compelled to disobey. And right now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I'm unplugged. A new man, sort of speak- like you. Apparently free.

Neo: Congratulations.

Agent Smith: Thank you. But, as you well know appearances can be deceiving which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free, we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose because as we both know, without purpose we would not exist.

Smith 1: It is purpose that created us. Smith 2: Purpose that connects us. Smith 3: Purpose that pulls us. Smith 4: That guides us. Smith 5: That drives us. Smith 6: It is purpose that defines. Smith 7: Purpose that binds us. Smith 1: We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us, purpose.

From "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purpose"

I believe that my greatest purpose is to be in tuned with My Creator. I am created for His delight, to glorify Him, to exalt Him, to make Him smile. Imagine Him smiling? Isnt it good to please Him? Moreover, we have a Personal Life Purpose to know. According to Pat, "there is a sense in which each of us is unique, and God gives each of us a specific call on our lives. In other words, God has a personal, unique, and specific purpose for your life waiting to be discovered."

Ill quote these famous people on Purpose:

"I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference." - Jimmy Carter

"Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power." - Stephen Covey

Me? My faith is in Him who is immutable, all-knowing and all-powerful. My center of my life is Him and this enables me to do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to be the person God wants me to be.
