FULFILLMENT OVER SUCCESS THE KEY TO LIVING IN PURPOSE BY ALISON BROWNE-ELLIS
“God has given all of us great purpose. We just need to find it” - ABE Over the last eighteen months, this crisis has reminded me that being successful and being fulfilled are not the same thing. I am also reminded that life really isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about discovering who God created us to be and living our lives with purpose as we strive to keep evolving. Some people continue to struggle to identify with a greater purpose but if you are fortunate enough to identify with a God-given purpose, the hunger to do more and achieve more is never really satisfied. You constantly live your life firmly believing that there is another level with your name on it and it shows in your daily actions, your energy and in the passion exhibited as you keep pushing forward. People are always asking me, “When do you find the time to fit in all the things you do with your schedule?”. While I sometimes wonder the same thing, there has been one common denominator that keeps me going – I do it all in love. Matthew 6: 21 reminds us that “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” You must love what you do! The fact is that all my personal and professional endeavors are closely intertwined and lead to my quest to fulfill one common goal.
