When God created you, He created you with a special design in mind. In fact, His purpose for your life is intertwined within your DNA. Your calling has tugged on your spirit for many years – and still does, if you haven’t achieved your purpose.
When you were a child, you had moments when you caught a vision of your future and announced what you would be when you grew up. Do you remember what you said? What job did you envision yourself doing when you were older?
Sometimes when your vision is blurred, you develop your own idea of what you will do by creating a close visual of your perfect job. One example is if your purpose is to be a great leader in your community, you may have imagined yourself as a police officer as a child.
Many of my clients believe they missed their calling. What makes it more upsetting for them is that they don’t know what God created them to do. This feeling of not knowing you were designed for a special purpose is not only miserable but also develops into an empty feeling.
If you believe you missed your calling, I want to give you an assignment to help you explore God’s design for you.
- Be at peace. Go to a peaceful place and place your favorite soft music. Or, if you prefer complete silence, then turn everything off that makes noise, including your cell phone.
- Focus. Focus on the future as a very elderly, accomplished adult. See everything you were able to succeed in and look at your surroundings.
- Write a letter to yourself. As the elderly you, I want you to write a letter to yourself in this time. Have your elder-self give details on how he/she accomplished so much and the path they traveled, in detail.
- Write down what you accomplished a year from your current age and all your wonderful accomplishments
- Write your great accomplishments 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years from today
- Describe how you overcame your great obstacles
- Describe your home, family, and friends
- Put your letter in a sealed envelope. Write the date down you desire to open your letter and do not open it until them (I recommend 5 years from now).
When you envision yourself as the accomplished person God created you to be. You become the wonderful vision within a very short period of time. In fact, after writing the vision, my clients reach their vision, many times, within a couple of years. When the vision becomes clear, it’s easier to achieve. In fact, because it was first God’s vision of you, it’s impossible to fail.
