John 10:10b (NLT)
My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
The rich and satisfying life you are destined to live starts with what you want to do with your life
. God gave you His life, His nature, and His ability so that you could tap into the force that created the universe. You can harness that power as an aid to help you live your dreams. God created you to have fellowship with Him through the process of realizing your God-given dream. God has already provided you with an abundance of life; now it is up to you to create your own abundant life here on earth.
The best way to predict your future is to create it! Creating your future starts with knowing what kind of life you want, knowing what your future is supposed to look like, and knowing what you must become in order to receive everything you want. The following seven questions will help you identify what it is you want to be, to do, and to have:
1. What kind of life do you want?
2. What have you always dreamed of doing, but were afraid to attempt?
3. What kind of work would you do if you did not need the money?
4. What are your unique talents, gifts, skills, and abilities?
5. What has God called you to do?
6. What does your ideal day look like?
7. What one great thing would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Writing the answers to those questions is proof that you can live your dreams. You just need to identify what kind of life you want. If you can see it with your imagination, you can experience it in your life. Your answers to those questions will help you identify what you love to do and encourage your passion for the desires that God has placed within you.
