Live With Purpose

Each of us has a specific life that we were meant to live. Live it.

You have been given strengths and abilities that no one else has. Use them.

It may set you apart (it probably will). Embrace it.

It may mean that you have to do hard things and stand against popular opinion (it will). Do it anyway.

Stop asking “what someone like me would do,” and start asking, “based on the information I have, what will align most with what I believe to be right and true in the world?”

Stop letting the world affect you and start affecting the world.

When deciding what to do—what decisions to make, how to spend your time, how to treat others—ask yourself what is going to allow you to look in the mirror at the end of the day and be okay with the person looking back you.

Now go do that.

No Law

We somehow forget that God expects us to love first and set the example by being like him and showing the fruits of the spirit in our lives. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against things like this.”
