My purpose

Hello guys!

Just wanna share with u my thoughts over the past few weeks..

A few weeks back... Jaydee, my good friend from security got sent by Bro Chris to ask me... "What is my purpose?"

and i thought.. wow! this is easy.. my purpose is to study for this period of my life.. and set up gatekeeperlabs (cpu cooler company) asap.

but i thought.. if that is my purpose.. then why am i not doing anything to pursue it?

So for the next week, i worked everyday to submit a proposal to Spring Sg for a 750k grant to help gatekeeperlabs become "the next technopreneurship SME" in singapore. Finally, after 26 pages and endless number of drafts, and koonpo with beers overnights at my house.. i submitted the proposal.

Then i thought.. ok whats next? Why is my vision so narrow that i feel like it can be completed in 1 week? And that sparked me to think of a greater vision, not only for my present, but for my future.

Its important for a man to have his vision clear, simple, and consistently in his mind. It was during last week's service that God reminded me of "No longer I, but Christ living in me". And somehow i thought to myself .. my vision.. is what i want to accomplish this short time that i have left. It has to only be 1 thing

To live out the fullest potential that God meant for me!

This means so many things to accomplish at different periods of my life..

for now its to do well in school, forge great friendships and be a committed friend, impact and change lives for the better, honor my parents

then i have to take responsibility and start planning for growth financially, make gatekeeper a platform for God to change the industry, find a bubbly, daring, unique, fierce yet shy but pretty and somewhat innocent, but willing to learn and step out, prays sometimes with a deep voice but yet very powerful, Lamborghini loving girl,

and a thousand other things, that will leave a legacy!

All these "tasks" appear daunting and yet i can say i enjoy doing every single one of it.

Dont make a vision something u hate doing, or it will never come to pass!

Finally i found my answer, my purpose is to live out my vision and enjoy the process of seeing lives change while doing it

living every second, up or down,

Joseph

wow! thanks Jo, for sharing from your heart! Corrinne May once said: "The best performances come from the heart; performing is about communication, about connecting with one’s audience. It is about reaching out to offer one’s story, one’s vulnerability, to a listener,” she stressed. And when its from the heart,the message becomes so much more powerful, whatever it may convey. haha so yesss keep blogging and sharing!
