31 Days of Living with Purpose {day 10 ~ it’s not about you}

You can get so caught up in pursuing and finding your purpose – that you miss your purpose! <—–tweet this here!

We set out to seek that grand thing where we can leave a mark here on this earth. We tell ourselves:

I want to leave a legacy. I want to make a difference. I want to be known. I want to influence millions. I will dig into books on purpose and meaning to find my purpose. I will find my purpose one way or another. I know I was born for something bigger and better. I am called, but to what. . . 

Look how many I’s are in the above paragraph. The first rule of thought about your purpose to remember:

Your purpose will NEVER be about you!

Your purpose will be found is serving others.

So, what is that burning desire within you? Find a way for it to serve others and meet their needs.
