Purpose is simply defined by dictionary .com as “the reason for which something exists or is made”. Or it can be said to be the reason why you were created to exist in this world.
Water was created for a purpose. According to, everyday health “ It is known that our human body weight is approximately 60 percent water. The human body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions.”.
Tree-People.org states that “Trees have a primary purpose for existence to combat climate change, when excess carbon dioxide (CO2) is building up in our atmosphere, contributing to climate change, the trees absorb CO2, removing and storing the carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air”.
Finding Your Own Purpose
Water has a purpose, the tree has a purpose and similarly, other creatures have their particular individual purpose! The question now is: As for YOU, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE? This is a big question that the younger generations of today may not be able to answer by themselves hence this book is written to help in discovering life purpose.
When we carefully look at every creature we find the purpose in them individually and the purpose we discover of them present a ‘solution’ to life problems. Therefore, it is safe to say that your individual life purpose when discovered will in like manner present a ‘solution’ to life problems for the benefit of mankind.
That means you are a solution to this world. All we need to do now is to find your purpose and we will help you through the process. It can be done and it will be done. By the end of reading this book, you would without any doubt discover the real reason why you exist in this world. The only reason people fail in life is majorly due to their undiscovered or broken purpose.
An important fact to know about purpose, is that there is the issue of vagueness around it where the individual is unsure or lacks the understanding of it. From my practical experience of working with teenagers/youths over many years in educating, training, leading, mentoring, coaching and motivating them to achieve desired results in what they do, they appear to present an unparalleled degree of vagueness to life purpose, to no fault of their own.
For the young person unanswered questions, feeling lost within the crowd, not being sure of what is actually wrong or right, being told what to do all the time, not being heard but shut abruptly, not being able to have an opinion and the systemic oppression of teenagers and young people push them into debilitating frustration, anger, and nihilistic reaction to the life issues that they face daily at home, school, office and in the community at large.
According to webmd.com, “By age 15, most teenagers are developing the ability to think abstractly, deal with several concepts at the same time, and imagine the future consequences of their actions. This type of thinking in a logical sequence continues to develop into adulthood”.
The above psychology theory referred, therefore, implies that as a teenager and as youths they are capable of engaging in logical discussions with adults and can make reasonable contributions if given the chance, especially in matters of interest that relate to their own lives and interests. As a young person, you should appear to be responsible and engage with your parents or adults around you to give them the opportunity to help you regarding discovering your individual purpose in life.
As a result of the presented vagueness of purpose during youthful development in life, large numbers of young people feel frustrated, and angry sometimes for not being sure about a number of things about life. A good number of young people react negatively to parents, adults and sometimes rebel in their own rights when they don’t know any other way to react to situations.
At one extreme, some young people get so frustrated and drop out of school not knowing what is wrong with them, others drift towards crime or criminal gangs looking for a support system that they can fall back to for support in their confused state of mind about life and purpose. Unfortunately, some to their own detriment end up on the wrong side of the road of life.
That is why today, we have an innumerable undiscovered purpose and hidden potentials wasting away when the world really needs those purpose to fix its on-going problems. Now, it suffices to say, we know that every individual purpose is a solution to life problems; therefore it is our responsibility to help in discovering all the individual purpose out there, in every teenager and young people.
