What is it that gives your life
a sense of meaning and purpose,
because once you find that,
it puts you in your power place,
See, if you know what your life work is.
I encourage you to start working on it.
If you can't do it all at one time,
do just a little bit of it.
And if you don't know what it is
that you showed up to do,
if you don't know why you are here,
I encourage you to find out what your purpose is here.
What is the meaning of your life?
What will be different?
Have you ever asked yourself that question?
I've done that.
I remember coming from a friend of mine's funeral
and I was reflecting on how much time I had left.
And I went for a walk in the park
thinking about this guy whose life was so promising.
And I mean,
he wasn't an old guy
he was quite young in fact,
And I thought about all of the things that he said
he was going to do,
and he never got a chance to do those things.
And I started thinking about my own life
and how much time I had left
to do the things that I would like to do.
And at that time I wasn't sure
what my life purpose was
what my life's work was.
I wasn't sure about it at that time.
And I thought about it quite a lot.
I had some idea, but I wasn't convinced
that I don't think I felt worthy.
I didn't believe that it could be me
to do this kind of work that I'm doing right now.
And I say to you
that if you began to take a conscious effort
to find out what it is that you're supposed to do,
I say that it can literally save your life.
I guarantee you, whatever it is you want to do in life,
you'll be able to do it
you will be able to accomplish whatever you want to
academically, financially, relationally, whatever.
And then once you find out what you want
spend the rest of your natural life,
waking up and going after it.
What makes you a leader is you investing belief
and loving and caring about people.
Any one of you in this moment
could decide you're going to lead
because leadership is instilling something in someone,
but they don't see in themselves
loving on them, believing them, seeing their giftedness.
All of you,
I don't care if you're loud or quiet,
big hero or small here,
you could be a leader.
The bottom line is you need to decide you want to lead.
Interesting Bible phrase that says,
"If you keep knocking, you will find open doors"
good phrase to jot down.
If you keep knocking, you will find open doors,
Doors of opportunity,
Doors of a chance to meet someone
Doors open for association
Doors open to find someone special
Doors open to find a unique business colleague.
If you keep knocking the door,
The phrase said, "Doors of opportunity,
are open to those who continually knock"
only those who knock,
deserve to find an open door
But the promise is if you continually knock,
you will find doors of opportunity.
