Purpose of your life

Purpose of your life

Quiz, what is your Purpose in Life and what’s most important, working hard, being a good employee, and earning a lot of money and buying lots of stuff for you and your family?

Or spending time with your family, laughing and having fun with them and living your purpose?

Here’s a question to ask yourself:

Mark was a good guy.  He worked hard, seldom took sick leave, could always be counted on.  When he went home he faithfully cared for his wife with her medical conditions. He spent a lot of time at church, always taking on responsibility.  The people at work and some a church didn’t know he had two kids waiting for him a home because he always focused on work and his duties and didn’t talk about them very often.

Eventually, he couldn’t take care of himself and his wife due to aging.  They moved closer to the kids so they could take care of their parents.  Their kids opened their hearts to make sure Mom and Dad had everything they needed and wanted.  They took them to church every Sunday and visited them often.  In Mark’s 90’s, he finally turned to one of his sons and said, “I’m sorry I never had time for you.”  But, it was too late, his time was coming to the end.  His wife died a few months later, and he passed soon after that.

Think about it.  What’s more important in life?  What’s your real purpose in life?  Maybe you should think about it and start working on what’s most important now rather than later.
