What Keeps You From Your Destiny?

“A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder – a waif, and nothing, a no man.” Thomas Carlyle

What is it that drives you?  Everyone is driven by something either good or bad.  You may be driven in the moment by a problem, a pressure, or a deadline.  These things are only temporary.  However many of us are driven by some unconscious belief, fear, or painful memory.  The Bible in Ecclesiastes 1:2, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”  Without a clear and concise purpose all is vanity and the wrong things drive us.  Here are some of the things that keep you from your destiny and calling in Christ.

1.    People are driven by guilt.  Guilt will make you sabotage your own success.  There is some action in your past that made you feel guilty or someone made you feel guilty for something.  We are all products of our past but we don’t have to be prisoners of our past. 

2.    People are driven by resentment and anger.  Some people hold on to hurts and never get over them.  It’s like failing to forgive someone for something they did in the past to you.  It hurts you more than it hurts them.  Your offender has probably forgotten all about it but if you hold this pain inside you it can keep you from doing God’s will for your life.

3.    People are driven by fear.  That’s me.  I was driven by fear for many years.  Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from doing the will of God for your life.  Fears can result from a lot of things like a traumatic experience, growing up in a very controlling home, unrealistic expectations, and even genetic predisposition.  Fear driven people miss a lot of great opportunities.

4.    People are driven by materialism.  Many people, especially those of us in the Western World base our happiness on material things.  We get our security from the material.  The thing is possessions only provide temporary happiness.  Once the happiness runs out we need more stuff to make us feel secure and happy again.

5.    People are driven by the need for approval.  Many adults are trying to gai the approval of other people because they could never get the approval of their parents.  That’s me also.  I always tried to be a people pleaser because I couldn’t get the approval of my dad.  He died and I never go his approval.  We can’t be controlled by the opinions of others or we will miss Gods purpose for out lives.

All of these things that can drive us will lead to the some thing, unused potential, unnecessary stress, and an unfulfilled life.  They keep you from your destiny.  If you want to have the life that will fulfill your destiny you must go to the giver of life and ask Him to heal you and fill you with the proper emotions for the task ahead.

Three Things that you Need to Live Your Purpose and Destiny

Why are you here?   Do you know?  Everyone and everything exists for a purpose.  What’s your reason for existence?  Every creature great and small has a purpose for being here.  With humans it seems to be more complicated.  Animals have instincts.  They instinctually know what they were put here and they do there utmost to carry out their mission.  Humans have reasoning.  Many times we reason ourselves out of our purpose and destiny.  It’s too difficult, everyone is against me, I don’t have the money, I don’t have the skill.  All of these excuses will be the things that talk you out of doing the thing that God put you on the planet to accomplish.

There are three things, however, that you need to accomplish your God given purpose.  Well, there are probably more than that, but here are three that I can think of.

1.     You need someone to help you along they way.  It is so difficult to accomplish your dreams and passions because of the many things the get in the way.  Our friends, our church, and or brains seem to either help us or hurt us.  Many people are dream stealers.  For some reason, mostly what is inside their brains, they don’t want to see you succeed.  It’s so important to have someone on your side.  You need a mentor or a coach to lift you up and let you know that they are here for you when things get rough.  You need someone from the outside telling you what you are doing right and what you can improve upon.

2.     You need finances.  So many times our dreams and passion are delayed or completely destroyed because we don’t have the finances to accomplish the exact thing that God wants for us.  We are ostracized many times for wanting to do something out of the ordinary.  We have to fit in.  That means we get a job and then we use our passion as a hobby.  If we would pursue our passion then the money would come.  There are also financial plans available that will also fuel your passion without a job.

3.     You need your health.  Health issues are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society.  Obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart problems, and a whole host of issues are on the increase in a world where our food supply has become nothing more than manufactured chemicals.  We need to have our health to accomplish our dreams.  That’s all there is to it.  Imagine going to Africa and requiring dialysis.  It just won’t happen.

There is a simply way to have all of the three essentials for living your dream and your purpose.  If you really want to accomplish something great in your life go here and let’s talk about your dreams and visions.
