Life can be very funny. I call life different things. Naturally, whatever i decide to call life, is what it is to me. Life is full of dramatic events that are both scripted and unscripted.
It began slowly when challenges hit Susan for the very first time. From that moment, she noticed that friends and some family members were unncessarily mocking her. That stirred up the question in her "what is going on and why?"
Susan had built her entire idea around her education. She believed that immediately she finished from school, she would secure for herself a good job and start soaring. But an unfortunate event took place in her life and made her enmeshed with her dream of securing a good job and couldn't just concentrate anymore.
Susan was sent out of school after graduation without a certificate. Surprise, fear and uncertainty are the words that clouded the feeling of Susan. Many things creeped into her thoughts and made her a captive of her ownself.
One day, a young man led by the Lord walked up to Susan and said to her that the Lord led him to pray with her. She gazed at him and accepted to pray with him. Immediately after the prayer, the young man said to Susan that whatever she experienced in school, God allowed it to be because she had chosen the wrong career and was heading to the wrong path. She asked him what he meant and the young man told her to forget about what happened and go back to school to study medicine. Susan who was a graduate from Art, exclaimed, "what do you mean by that? Are you saying that i should go back to school and start over again and even to re-write my higher school exams?" And the young man said to her that she must go back and study medicine and he went away.
A month later, Susan went to pay a friend a visit and right there in her friend's house she meet a young pastor. As they were all discussing the pastor excused her and said to her "why have you become a captive to yourself?" She wondered and asked him what he meant. So he told her to stop thinking and go back to school and study medicine, because God allowed her to be stopped in the first so she could find her path. Susan who heard this for the second time was amazed. She went home and told her parents. Her parents suppprted her and encouraged her to go back to school. Today, Susan is a medicine doctor with a divine healing skill, also a medical researcher.
Although purpose may seem to be in the things we found ourselves doing, various speakers have found a strong association between passion and purpose. Their findings point isn't wrong, however, discovering purpose is deeper than just looking into your passion.
Having a purpose in life is a defining decision that has a strong relationship with your choice of career, skill or handwork. Choosing a career path is a monumental decision for any individual and it contributes to your identity development. Career and our identities are inextricably bound up.
If you have been designed for something and you venture into another, this is in most cases why so many are finding it difficult to scale through in life. Even when a person graduate from a wrong course, it can cause problem in securing a job or limit your chances of getting a good or better job.
Alot of people don't know that identity is a complex and changing representation of self. You have identity in the career, skill or whatever you choose to do. Also, many are not happy and can't understand why they can't find happiness. Most times, their career formed an identity for them, instead of their identity making a career for them.
The ability to develop a career is so deep that it influence our identity. Your identity is who God has designed you to be. It is essential to understand or know what you have inside before making a choice in career, skill or handwork.
Career plays an important part in caving an identity. To many people their career gave them an important personal identity. Although we have several identities as our identities are multiple, multifaceted and dynamic.
Our identity may change over time, but our purpose covers our personalities, values, belief, career and drives what makes our identity.
Challenge your sense of self and know exactly what God want you to do. Don't do a thing because a friend is doing it or you have a role model you look up to. If something isn't really working out for you pray about it and find out the mind of God for you. Your purpose in life is what makes up your identity. Choose right and don't choose because someone is doing it.
