GRADUATE AND MARRY?
I was shocked when my roommate, back then in the university, said that she couldn't wait to graduate and marry. I am not against getting married immediately after graduation, but I was expecting to hear something inspiring from a youthful single lady.
I got another surprise during an evening get together in a youth fellowship, when each person was asked about their future pursuit; a young lady said she wanted to be a pastor's wife. I am not sure how such matter works, but I was sure eager to hear people talk of their wonderful aspirations. I actually wasn't truthful to myself anyway when I told them that I wanted to be a banker.
I was in a youth conference one day, when the facilitator anchoring the aspect of purpose asked us to imagine where we want to be. He said, "Begin to see yourself in that position". Perhaps others were seeing, but I wasn't. I needed more time to discover myself.
Everyday is for discovery. Let's make the best out of every opportunity in life. Keep discovering great things about yourself, people, and things around you.
Thus I say, from my perspective that, purpose fulfilment is never to be a come and go on planet earth, but to live a accomplished and leave that mark that says, 'I was HERE'.

I believe the 'thing' we call our calling, purpose or vocation is the thing that only a single soul can do because only they will ever have the exact mix of experiences, passions, values, desires, relationships and skills that they have and continue to collect throughout life(Eric Mcenroy)
