Queen, What's Your Purpose?

You're a seed that has been planted to grow & has now sprout in full bloom with a special power called Purpose.

"Purpose is an essential element of you…It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped up in the things you are here to fulfill. Whatever you choose for a career path, remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose." ―Chadwick Boseman

We all were planted here for a reason and we all have a purpose to fulfill on earth. My personal definition of purpose would be, "The assignments and tasks God calls you to execute for a specific reason to generate a specific effect to affect." and in this execution, the world changes for the better of mankind.

Sometimes it takes time to figure out what your purpose is but once you find out what it is by praying and asking God to reveal it to you, it can now become your life. Growing up, I've always been about helping and being of service to others. My first job was being a waitress at IHOP, then I moved into customer service at a few places and that lasted for 4 years and I now have the title as a caregiver for those who are disabled. All my jobs have been centered around me helping someone else and serving them. It has honestly been the best thing although my main goal was to get a job in my major which is graphic design, but I see that God had other plans for me. He needed me to take time to see what it was like to walk in my purpose without me even realizing that's what it was. I was seeing it from the perspective of me taking jobs just for the money to pay bills but ultimately it was me working through my purpose! I had that revelation one day when I was reading a small business confession, and, in this confession, it stated, "I humble myself to be a willing and obedient vessel. Help me to help someone else today." And on that day, I knew without a doubt that all these jobs I've done was a part of my purpose, helping and being of service to others in need.

Another example would be me finally creating this very blog. I knew I always wanted to start this blog for you Queens, but I kept putting it off repeatedly because I felt that I wasn't capable enough to give valuable insight that would help because it's other women platforms that do the same thing, but God kept nudging at me and telling me that I needed to do this. It's something that I'm saying that you Queens need to transform your life. It's something that you need to see, hear, observe, and feel and I'm the only one who can do it and give it in the way that you need to receive it. I put doubt aside, opened my laptop and got to work. I already had content written, typed, and even stored in my phone under my notes section. Being that I already had that, I knew it was time and here I am now with this amazing blog! God has a way of doing all things so believe and trust Him!

So, Queen, what is your purpose? What is that thing that you do so well that makes you feel so good about yourself? What is that thing that makes you feel tingly inside with joy, love, peace & happiness? To those who know their purpose, continue to live it, speak it, do it, and enjoy it. For those who don't know, seek it, pray for it, and work towards it. It's one of the greatest feelings ever when you can live your life's purpose and feel your actions changing lives for the better!

"Purpose is about making a difference in the lives of others. In other words, you cannot live your life's purpose unless you are in some way serving others. Although our purpose often brings us joy, it is not about us. It is always about using your strengths in the service of others. Your purpose in life answers a simple question: How is someone's life better because she has crossed your path? " —Valorie Burton
