A Purpose Driven Life? What Do you Mean by a Purpose Driven Life?

The Purpose Driven Life was one of the most popular books every published.  It sold over 20 million copies and is now the second most translated book in the world, only second to the Bible.  The book spawned other books and studies like, The Purpose Driven Church, and The Purpose Driven Sunday School Class.  There are Purpose Driven Journals; the list goes on and on and seems to be endless. 

Why is it then with so many people bought this book and still search for their purpose?  I think that finding purpose is one of the things that humans strive for.  We are somehow hardwired to want to know why we are here on this Earth.  What did God put us here to do?  Are we to just bounce around this planet from unfulfilling job to unfulfilling job, from one relationship to another, and from place to place not really knowing why we exist?  I don’t think so, but there must have been something missing that the book, The Purpose Driven Life, didn’t tell us.

I didn’t read the book the entire book.  I found it repetitive and boring.  That’s just my opinion.  But I do remember that Rick Warren, the author of the book, saying that he wasn’t writing the book to add more things to your already busy life, but to simplify your life.  That’s great, but is that really what happens when you start living your purpose?  Will your life become simpler?  Any book I have ever read about people who are living their purpose their lives are not simpler, in fact, they become busier and more complex.

The Apostle Paul always lived a complex, busy life.  Many of our modern guru’s are very busy and work long hours.  Why would they want to live that way?  It’s because they love what they do.  If you love it and it is your purpose then you will put in the long, busy hours and enjoy every single hour.  It won’t seem like time is wasted on mindless activity like a repetitive job.

A life of fulfillment and purpose is about doing the thing that you love to it’s fullest potential.  If you don’t feel that way about your life perhaps you aren’t living a purpose driven life.
