Purposed for purpose

To find one's purpose of living is not so easy: it might take a lot of time, commitment and sacrifices.
It takes the eyes of the prepared to see where the road leads.
Once this happens, there will always be situations and people that may not be in agreement or probably be shallow minded and not able to see with your eyes.
Some situations may present itself so attrative and enticing, but the end thereof filled with road blocks and everything necessary that is just enough to take one off one's purpose and dream.

One has to understand that though these things are always attractive, but for the sake of one's dream and purpose, one just have to let go. These attractions may guise to be a way to skip a hurdle on the race to fulfilling one's purpose of existence and living up to one's dream, by creating a mirage of making things a lot more easier. But not true!

Joseph, a Biblical character, had a dream and knew he was on his way to fulfilling  something big, even though it seemed so far-he was just a house keeper, which wasn't anywhere near being a person others will bow to- as opposed in his dreams. His master's wife was desperate to have him on her bed. It could have seemed attractive. Of course, he must have known his refusal could cost him something, and maybe land him somewhere -prison- which was a hurdle he had to cross on his way to the palace, but he knew he had to face prison to get to the palace.

The bottom line: there are no shortcuts to fulfilling your purpose of existence or dreams. Face it squarely, go through the speed bumps, see the good in every disappointment. There is a light inside that can't wait to explode.

Building Capacity

The teen and youth ages are transitory periods. The adulthood is dependent on them and the childhood look forward to them. Major changes occur that shapes one during this period. Decisions and choices during this period are key too. The parable of the talents illustrates a scenario of three servants- their ages not told. They were given talents which can be likened to an investment. The spotlight is on the fact that they were given according to their "ability" and not "piety." A mentor once said they were given to capacity. If piety were a consideration, the servant who ended up with one talent should have had the most: he was pious; he feared his master the most  and wouldn't want to offend him in any way; but he hadn't capacity worth investing more than one talent. The above is an evidence that proves the fact that nobody is willing to invest much in anybody without capacity, enough to contain. The amount of content is dependent on the capacity of ...
