purpose

is not something that can be 'achieved' so to speak.
because if it is something that is to be achieved,
once you have accomplished it, there would be no more purpose.
it is like an aimless chasing of the wind.


instead, it should be a pursuit. the fulfillment not in the catch, but in the chase.
again, not some flight of fancy or pursuing your interests, but a meaningful search..
let's not kid ourselves and settle for less..


we're intelligent beings, made in the image of God. not made to be mediocre.
there is nothing average about you. You, me, everyone was made for excellence.
not just in the big things, but in the small things.


btw, i used to hate that phrase.
i thought it's just a lame motivator for ppl who, not daring to give you the opportunity, hand you the lame, inglorious menial tasks.


excelling in spite of adversity.
by doing exceedingly well in the face of opposition
now that is excellence. excellence which purposeless people find threatening.
too radical. they feel it puts them down.


notice that kids always fight over who wants to be the hero, the smart, cool person?
no one wants to be the ugly duckling, the outcast.
same thing here.


you say you're ok with mediocre, but get angry when you're put down.
deep inside you know you're not mediocre. so don't be.


i'm not being demanding, you're just being too lenient with yourself.
