PURPOSEFUL LIVING SERIES EPISODE 3
Today's Topic: " I FAILD"
You'll recall my brief story of a successful investiture I shared last week and the story of rejections in my early years, for those of you who have read my book "Purpose in Rejection," which ultimately led to the purposeful life I'm living today.
Don't forget, I summarized my numerous failures and the glorious assignments that emerged through the experiences, referencing the scripture that says, "All things work together for my Good." God was preparing me for this day, and I labeled it as rejections, humiliation, and hatred, which indeed they were. However, beyond those, the Lord foresaw the impact of those days on tomorrow, as purpose predates my existence. I'm merely an actor fulfilling a purpose created from the beginning. In the last edition, I shared that I "failed," and that is today's topic. Little did I know that failure would become one of my future messages.
Late at night, as I was attending to some outstanding work, I received a chat with an unregistered number. Judging by the display picture, I suspected it might be one of my teenagers. It turned out to be a young Quantity Surveying student from FUTA, the vice president of the department, reaching out to me.
Despite the late hour, she requested me to be a speaker at the orientation program organized by the Department of Quantity Surveying for the new intakes as the newly inaugurated chairman of the NIQS (Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors Ondo State Chapter). I jumped for joy at this request; it affirmed that the purpose is a journey that can pivot 360 degrees to meet the needs of humanity. I usually remind myself that my purpose is to help every teenager and young adult discover purpose on time to live a fulfilling life.
The remaining part in the next post.
