Each one of us has a mission or purpose that we are to fulfill while here on this terra firma we call earth. This mission was woven into the very fabric of your being prior to your birth. We were equipped with gifts and talents to complete this mission. Our job is to develop those gifts and utilize them for the fulfilling of our mission and not for its destruction. While many of us recognize that we are called according to God’s purpose for a divine assignment we labor endlessly, unable to birth our destiny because we don’t know how to set our mission in motion. Here are some practical steps you can follow to move to the next level. First, you must clearly and succinctly clarify who you are, what you do, who you plan to serve, and what makes you unique. This is your personal mission statement and it will guide your continuing efforts.

Secondly, you must spell out your purpose or what you believe God wants you to accomplish. This is your raison d’etre or your “reason for being.” Your purpose will always be associated with your passion. How can you use what you love to do for God’s divine purpose in your life?

Thirdly, you must create goals or detailed steps to accomplish your mission. This may include goals such as create a business plan, finish a degree, develop a talent or gift, save money, deepen your spiritual life, read more, network, learn a computer program, etc. Your mission is too important to ignore, therefore you must do the work required to step into your destiny.
