I think most people, if not all, at a certain stage ask this question “What on Earth Am I Here for?” People long for purpose. As this question starts to bother us, we immediately go to the nearest bookstore and look for books that could give us the answer. In fact, I have a book by Rick Warren called The Purpose Driven Life. It is helpful alright, but I only read up to Chapter 10. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t found my purpose yet, but I feel I’m on the right track.
Anyway, my work involves problems. Currently, I am a Guidance Counselor. I hear many problems of students and problematic students (who cause problems to their teachers). Sitting on my chair, in my office, I ask myself “Am I fit to be sitting on this chair?” For sure, there are better counselors out there. I know there are more hard working staffs that are passionate about helping kids. There are people, who can sacrifice their leisure just to give focus on the problem at hand. I ask again “What can I offer?”
What I have is the time. What I have is the opportunity that others don’t have. I don’t know really my purpose in life, but I strongly feel that doing the best that I can in this opportunity given to me is a good purpose. And I have decided to stick on that.
How about you? Are you doing a purpose driven job?
