Write Your Own Purpose Quote—Because You Deserve to Know Why You’re Here

Image
Growing up I used to like this song entitled that used to go like this…” The greatest tragedy in life; is to be alive, and don’t know why! I believe this was sung by the great Lester Lewis.  I wanted to post the link to it hear but for some reason it cannot be found, so if anyone has a link to it please feel free to connect me and or post it in the comments below.  Nevertheless that song resonated with me so deep that I always searched myself to understand my purpose.  This world is constantly trying to define us—by our jobs, our bank accounts, our relationship status, or even our zip code—there’s something powerful about turning inward and deciding for yourself: “This is who I am. This is what I was born to do.” That’s the power of a purpose quote. It’s more than just pretty words for your Instagram bio. It’s your personal compass—your truth in one sentence. And today, I want to challenge you to write yours. Why Your Purpose Quote Matters It gives you direction wh...

Unequally Yolked: Builders, Destroyers, and the Cost of Carrying Dead Weight

There’s a truth we often ignore until it slaps us in the face: Being unequally yolked will cost you more than you can afford. Let’s strip the religious context for a minute—because unequally yolked isn’t just about romantic relationships. It’s bigger than that. It’s your job. Your circle. Your hustle.

I speak from personal experience. I’ve been tied to people and situations that looked promising on the outside but were poison on the inside. Jobs that drained more than they paid. Friends who smiled but secretly competed. Projects that started with purpose but ended in pain. Why? Because I ignored the signs that we were unequally yolked. Let’s break this down. A yoke is meant for two who can walk together in alignment—same pace, same direction, shared load. But whe...

Sometimes It Takes a Bad Situation to Get You Thinking Straight

We all love comfort. Routine. The familiar. It makes us feel safe, in control, and steady. But here’s the thing about comfort—it can become a trap. A soft prison where you stop questioning, stop growing, and stop listening to that still, small voice inside that whispers: “You were made for more.” And sometimes, it takes a hard knock—something gut-wrenching, something unfair, something you never saw coming—to wake you up. I’ve been there. Maybe you have too. You lose a job you gave everything to. Someone you trust and or love turns out to be the very person who holds you back. You get a diagnosis that changes the game. Or you find yourself sitting alone, wondering how life got this far off track. And then, in that moment—stripped of the usual noise—your mind gets sharp. Your senses awaken. The fog lifts, and for the first time in a long time, you’re forced to look your reality square in the eye. Bad situations have a way of clearing the clutter. They remind you who you ar...
