Sometimes people want changes to fit along an already existing linear path. What if the different process fits in a different dimension parallel to the existing linear path? This process is not another "tick" along the line to be "accomplished" and then gone past. This process becomes the foundational source from which life is lived.
I'm talking about "mission". People have long asked "What am I here for?" I believe buried deep in the heart of every human is a desire to fulfill mission. Living in that place where significance is experienced. Every socioeconomic slice of humankind is willing to go beyond the "easy" when there will be a sense of value in the doing. How does that "sweet spot" come to experience? I think there is a simple process to help unearth those divinely embedded passions. The process may be simple; the wrestling with the process is not. When the wrestling is done, the product is a mission statement that gives purpose and joy in the reciting. The more it's expressed, the more it is owned by the speaker. The more it is owned, the more it is embraced. The more it is embraced, the more clear is the desire to clean away anything that does not flow through it with clarity and passion.
Consider . . .
My mission is to inspire, nurture and release creative purpose in myself and others so that we all my life to the full measure of our creation.
yep . . . I can imagine living my life for Christ fulfilling this mission!
