The Power Of Your Thoughts And Purpose!

Chapter 1
WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE.
"Death is not the greatest loss the greatest loss is what dies in us when were alive."

Did you know that life is so simple yet us (human beings) make it seem like it is so difficult to live this life. Have you ever wondered why life looks simple to some people yet to others it is hard. Ever wondered why some people work hard yet they seem to almost achieve nothing while others don't seem to work hard yet they seem to be getting almost everything. People may say it is because they work hard and smart, others may say they are great thinkers and are well educated. To me it has nothing to do education or the hard work at all.
If then why do they always achieve what they want. In truth once you know that anything your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve then your one step closer to reaching your destiny. The question is how far away are you from your destiny.You cannot reach your destiny if you even don't know where it is.
Many may say I am to young to know this things but once you know God gives wisdom to whoever he wants then you will listen to whatever I will say and at the end of the book you will see how important what i am saying is and your eyes will be open and it may greatly touch your life.
Destiny is not a matter of chance it is a matter of choice it is not a thing to be waited for it is a thing to be achieved. Do you know your purpose? Do you really know why you were created? If not seek after knowing it for no matter how many times you read this book and you don't know your purpose your reading will yield no results. With all that is in you then pursue it. Knowing your purpose is the foundation in which you build the rest of the building how firm the foundation is determines how high the building goes.
For you to have been conceived your parents had to have intercourse where over ten million sperms were produced all these sperms race against each other to be conceived but only one among the ten million had to win. That was you! After winning a race of over ten million candidates you still think you were meant to loose. The fact is you were the best among the ten million so who else can be better than you, if you ask me i would tell you no one else. Within the sperm was a seed, the seed of purpose. As you grew the seed grew in you and was natured and cared for. But why are you not near your destiny.You must have lost the track somewhere.
The truth is that you allowed the world to define you.All the negative thoughts you got, all the crazy comments you got from people around you got into your mind one way or another and made you loose focus.
Let me tell you a story about myself that can help you see what I'm trying to mean.
Ever since i was young my parents told me I had a hidden potential in me but when I joined primary school I had an easy time until I reached class three. Here is when I allowed myself to deviate from my own destiny. I didn't get any chance to be among the top in class. I allowed this to define me because of the pressure I received from people. Many students saw me as a failure as if i was of no value in life and never wanted to associate themselves with me. I was seen as an outcast in the class. Every time the students gathered in groups I would always be pushed away because they would see me as a failure as if I would add no value in the discussion. However they didn't know nor care to know how I felt. This left me with very low esteem,I couldn't even answer questions in class because i feared how the people would see me if i failed the question. This left me with only home where I could feel of benefit of being loved. Slowly by slowly I forgot my dreams. Time by time they grew dim and dim, until they faded away. I tried to always encourage myself that i could. But how? How could I succeed yet I was born to fail.I always thought to myself. One time the head teacher called me to her office. On entry she gave me that news which I couldn't bare. "You will have to repeat class five." She told me."Ulizaliwa Mjinga Collins mpaka hakuna mwalimu anakutaka darasa yake. " She said to me in kiswahili meaning, You were born stupid Collins, No teacher wants you in their class you will have to repeat. I have never forgot these words ever since. I didn't know how to tell my parents this so I went home and never said anything about the issue. Even when schools were about to open I had not told my parents yet. I always asked myself about how they would see me not knowing that when the world turns you down family will always be united with you. I actually remember myself having sleepless night wondering if I should tell my parents the following day. But i always postponed until one day my mum came home with class five text books. This shocked and suppressed me because she bought textbooks to a class i would not join. Every time we talked with my mum I would always say negative comments about school. Her motherly instincts made her know that I had a big problem that needed to be quickly addressed. My moods had changed drastically and i would often gaze in open air just building castles in the air, not knowing my parents had seen there was really something disturbing me.They would ask ask me what the problem was many times but i would say nothing was wrong.
One morning we woke up and they said we were all going on a holiday to Mombasa. It sounded weird to me as I wonder how we would go on a holiday and it was about one week left for schools to reopen. My parents would be very busy instead of going on holiday. Anyway I didn't know it was only for me they were looking for a chance to try help me because they were so sure something was wrong. The fear grew intense as i knew only a few more days were left. To cut the whole story short one day when I seemed to be out of my usual stress moods my mum held me and told me to tell her what was really disturbing me and she wouldn't leave me until she had a good idea of what it was. I couldn't help but cry as I said it all. I could she the shock in her eyes as she even assured me we would solve this as a family. One day before schools opened my mother went to school to try know what was really going on. The school director told her there was no need to try help me because I was among the people who end up in life being shot by the police or died because they killed or robbed or even end up in prison.
My mother in defence respond harshly saying i had my design set by God and if there was anything bad I had learnt it must have come from the school, and the director must have been the one responsible for it.All in all I redid class five but life didn't get easy I just tried my best to handle the challenges with care. On my final year in primary school the director was among the main class teachers and he would often come to our class daily if he would make it. Now you can imagine the kind of pressure i receive in class daily.
Life can be hard at times but do not let the hard times define you. I remember my father would always tell me life is set in a way for you to loose but you must always overcome the world.
What I did is I simply allowed the world to define me (friends, teachers, education, hard times and many other things). Many students experience this in their school life but i would tell them to strengthen themselves and not to be influenced . Latter along the way I came to discover I was meant to be a contractor and then on my life really changed. Without knowing your own destiny the would will define you but as you notice after I discovered my destiny life was more easy as nothing defines me now as I already know my destiny. Destiny/Purpose/Identity don't have to be career like. You may find someone destined to be a pediatrician to help the sick and you may find one set to be a contractor like me or even an evangelist or bishop or politicians. Do not complete for no body can be like you or even try to copy someone for if anyone tried to live your life they would fail miserably in their first attempt, for we are all unique in our own ways we all have destiny's we have to attain it all just depends on what you do with yours. Purpose today to know your identity and she you will have opened a big door in your life that will help you attain what your meant to really do in the earth just like a contractor cant try to be a doctor or a doctor cant try to be an evangelist. The would complain their life is hard not knowing the are doing what they are not meant to do and end up failing. So take your place the world is waiting to hear your story so make it. Learn from others experience don't wait to learn from your own. For learning from experience can be very painful. So if you truly don't know your purpose stop all activities and seek it out. Seek it until it is revealed then pursue it with all your might.
