Pursuing Purpose? 3 Things People Never Tell You

Her Royal Loudness with Tamika Hall

Have you ever wondered what your purpose is? I have found that your purpose lies smack dab in the middle of your passion. It's that thing you would do for free every day all day. This is what people don't tell you about pursuing purpose:

1. You're going to have naysayers. You know who they are, those people who always have something negative to say. And some of them will be people you love and respect the most. Be prepared for this so that when it happens it doesn't sideswipe you and send you spiraling. This is why it is important for you to be sure of WHO you are, WHY you are doing what you are doing, and WHAT God has said to you about your purpose. You will need to lean on this during times of adversity.

2. There will be times that you will want to quit. Pursuing purpose is hard and requires work, but it's all worth it and you will be so proud of yourself for sticking it out.

3. You have to stick close to God.
We all know this right? But here is the reason why you really need to stay close to Him during your time of the pursuit. When you have naysayers and you feel like quitting, you're going to need to lean on the one who sticks closer than a brother.

Purpose...pursue it, strive for it...You've got this, Boo!
