Goals: Motivation To Strive Hard

The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfilment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

-Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life

A very influential statement I truly put my life’s ambition into working from Rick Warren’s award winning book, The Purpose Driven Life. Having a purpose in life is very important for us, having a sense of purpose makes us who we are. Being able to find this purpose may not be easy but, as what the book explains, that only time and God will tell when we will find our purpose. I know we were asked to make a blog about our mission in life, not the purpose, but that phrase made me look through on what I’m going to do about my future.

Ok, now back to the topic, here goes…

As a young boy I always am fond of loving animals and food but growing up with people whose life’s work was dedicated to medicine, that certain field really caught my attention. There was this one time where my brother’s cardiologist did an ultrasound on his heart, because my brother had a heart condition before, and after the doctor did the examination she talked to me and explained about the circulatory system and how it functions; that experience really drew my attention towards medicine. So, as I grew older I’ve really set my mind into taking medicine as my life’s work, as it also serves as my mission. Helping others is also one of the highlights of my mission in life since the field on which I’m going to take is related to that kind of job. As of now, I am taking up biology as a premed course, and I’m slowly attaining my goals. I may have set my mind into this mission of mine but as the book, The Purpose Driven Life, says that your purpose may not be your dream or the thing that you really love but if it’s your purpose then it’s really your purpose! Getting closer to my dreams I may not be certain if it’s truly my purpose but if it’s not, I’m sure I can be able to embrace on what God wants me in my life.
