It is so sad that so many people go through life having no idea why they are here or what God has purposed for them and their life.
It seems that all people live out their lives in 1 of the following 3 levels:
1) SURVIVAL – Here they just exist. No purpose, no focus, no hope; just existence. They continue because they heart is still beating and they are still breathing; truly a sad and dismal existences.
2) SUCCESS – At this level you are living like the people next door; collecting and possessing more and more. Working for a living; pay check-to-pay check. In the rat race of life (and as they say, the problem with that is: even if you win, you are still a rat).
3) SIGNIFICANCE – This is the level where we all should be living; for it is not mere existence and survival or even success that we need, rather its significance. Significance makes you know that your life matters, that it counts for something. When you discover significance, will have discovered God's plan for your life.
