Blackmon: have you been stressed lately? have the activities of life been weighing on you? there's a reason for this. there's a seed within you, the seed of a dream that you've been dreaming with eyes wide open for a long time. when traveling from one place to the next it hovers in the back of your mind when at work during meetings or on break it rings like a bell in your ear, even while with loved ones, it tugs on the strings of your heart. this seed of a dream, it causes a restlessness in your spirit and it bangs, knock knock knock on the exit doors of your mind. and it looks with longing eyes out of the windows of your heart and soul. my friends, my brothers and sisters in agape love, this thing that has been pushing at you, pulling on you, is nothing bad. it's nothing evil. on the contrary, is something that you truly need. it is your purpose. yes, your purpose. are you wondering now if this message really is for you? well let me ask you this: are you not the one to keep awakening in the middle of the night without understanding what for? are you not the one to keep pausing while in the midst of completing a task without understanding why, are you not the one that keep experiencing these feelings of expectation and excitement? the answer is yes! i am talking to you! this thing that has been pulling at you, it is your purpose, not just wanting but needing your attention! ignite your purpose! awaken your passion! now that we are in agreement, let's talk about your purpose. it's positive. it is productive. it involves what you know and do well and good. it puts a smile not just on your face but in your heart as well. when you are about this thing, your spirit soars with joy and it's one of the few times in your life that you experience a feeling of completeness, of rightness, of purpose fulfilled. a friend of mine shared with me the purpose that he felt when he made the decision to travel to south america to help families reconstruct their homes, to have luxuries, luxuries such as running water. this all in itself speaks of greatness and purpose fulfilled. at the same time it's not necessary to leave your country, your state, your province, city, town, village, or even your home, in order to achieve your own personal greatness, in order to walk in your purpose. i experience my own sense of purpose every single time i have the opportunity to assist someone move from a condition of stagnancy and depression to a state of long-lasting positivity and productivity. i like to refer to this as feeding people. perhaps it is in your purpose to feed people as well. whether it's through spiritually, mentally, or feeding their bellies. perhaps you are a good cook. then again perhaps you're not a cook but you're good at organizing, so you have the capability and the skills and techniques to help design an organization or program that will allow you to feed people. agape, brothers and sisters. the truth is, i of course don't know what your particular purpose is. but what i do know without a shadow of a doubt, is that it is needed. you need it and the world needs you. not adhering to your purpose, this could very well be the reason for the onset of insomnia, the bouts with depression, the going from one situation to the next without ever experiencing gratification or satisfaction. it shows up in your life. perhaps it's in the area of relationships, going from one to the next, to the next, without ever experiencing true happiness. perhaps it's in the area of employment, going from job to job to job, never knowing a feeling of personal completeness. perhaps it's in the area of food, consuming dish after dish after dish, and yet never gratified, and never satisfied. no matter how it's constituted, or you choose to substitute it, the fact remains: you need your purpose and it needs you. out of love, this is my offering to you. get to know, then cultivate and grow, your personal seed of greatness and your purpose. in doing so, you will not only become your best you, but your most complete you. it may not be easy at first. but i guarantee you, your purpose is waiting for you you.
