Staying Focused and On Purpose

Do you know who you are, where you came from, why you are here, what you are here to do and where you are going when you leave here?  Every individual should know the answers to these questions with a degree of certainty.  Examine your life to make sure you know the correct answers to these questions.  They are very important to your fulfilling your destiny.

Once you realized what your true purpose in life is, you will be compelled to get rid of, and change some things.  Things that you thought were very important might not be that important after all. When you discover your purpose you will be excited and passionate about it. You will not settle for just anything.

Seriously, have you intentionally given thought to the questions posed above?  Why am I here? Where am I going when I leave here (this earth)?  What will it take me to get to that place?  The day I asked these questions of myself, and gave serious thoughts to them, I got clarity of my purpose and I have since built everything that I do around that discovery. These are questions that I encourage my coaching clients to ask themselves.

Having the answers to these questions help me to take the right actions daily to stay focused.  I seek divine guidance and stick to a specific plan of action.  I do get distractions throughout the day, but I consciously stay in control of my time.  I often find myself helping others, through encouragement and accountability to make sure they are doing what they have said they want to do.

Sometimes, we have to abandon some things and drop some people who have no ambition or interest in personal growth and development, from our friendship list in order to ensure that we are productive and not distracted. Distraction leads to failure.  Life should be about success, not one failure after another.  The people with whom we should spend time are those who inspire, motivate, appreciate, encourage and support our efforts.

In conclusion, I would like to leave you three tips for staying on purpose.  We use these methods in coaching.

(1)   Seek clarity through daily prayer and meditation. Once you have done your self-evaluation by asking yourself the questions mentioned above and you are clear about the issues or problems you would like to address, you will be ready to set your goals.

(2)   Set SMART goals and stick to your plan of action. When you make a commitment to change or do something to transform your life, setting SMART goals will help you stay focused, as you will need to stay focused in order to achieve your goals. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable Attainable, Relevant and Time Specific. Application of this method helps maintain the discipline needed to succeed.

(3)   Get someone to hold you accountable. You will face obstacles as you set out to accomplish your goals and sometimes you may feel like giving up, this is where your accountability partner comes in, he/she can help you stay on track, by reminding you of the goals you set and encouraging you to find solutions to solve the problems, rather than throwing your hands in the air and giving up.

LET US PRAY FOR AMERICA- Part 2

 

Lord, You said that Your Word is everlasting and it does not return to You void, so I ask today that You would heal the wounds of the survivors of the attack on the World Trade Center, their families, friends, those whose loved ones perished, the firefighters who rushed to their rescue, the members of the armed forces who work tirelessly to keep order and peace, the doctors and nurses who provided care and comfort and for every person who helped in one way or another. I ask for your continued intervention and direction as America works through the process of making sense out of such nonsense and to bring stability and a sense of security back to the country.

Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? We know that You God is the only one Who knows the heart of man and is able to change it, so I ask you to change the heart of every terroist and give them Your love, peace and grace.

 I pray that the strongholds and generational curses of murder and massacre will be broken from these criminal minded people who have no hope and take pleasure in destroying other human beings. Exposed every evil plan of the enemy and throw him into confusion.  Watch over our armed forces and others providing protective services and give them strength, wisdom and alertness so that they will act swiftly, powerfully and accurately at all times.

I pray that the leaders, starting with the President, the Executive Branch, members of congress, federal agencies, commissions and governments, local, state and regional of this country, will seek godly wisdom daily as they plan and make decisions to run the affairs of this country. Continue to pour out your wisdom and discernment to the intelligence and international security agencies.

In Jeremiah 33:3 you said if we call on You, You will answer, and in John 14:13 -14 You said that whatever we ask for in Your Name and according to You will, you will do it. So, in closing, Lord, I ask that you heal, restore and bless America. I believe that today you have heard my prayer and supplication on behalf of the United States of America. I give You honor, Glory and praise! In name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
