Listening to Pastor Rick Warren on “A Life of Purpose” speech really inspired me from a spiritual and emotional perspective. He references many areas of the Bible, one which speaks about what Moses is in his hand, a staff. Identity of what he was, his career and in addition his income as well as his influence. “What is in your hand?” Rick quotes, explaining as such music artists have a microphone in their hand, stating they have been granted the gift of singing and the microphone represents their career, their income and what influences them. From God, these artists have been given the talent of singing and performing.
Rick mentions his “Purpose driven book” where God gets excited to see what one is doing with the talent they are given, about making the world a better place. It is not about you, or myself but what we as God’s children can do to make a better place for others. He also asks the question, what am I wired to do? What talents have I been given to be able to give back?
This speech to me is so inspiring in moving forward with my inspiration of opening a Christian Childcare center or a Christian Book Store. As I move forward in my faith realize exactly what Rick references, what am I wired to do? With my creative business understanding and love for children I feel as if I am wired to fulfill my purpose with Christian minded businesses. What I choose to do with my life shows my identity, influence and income. It is not about just going to work, watching tv and for me I had danced 6 days a week, its more than that as Rick explains. I have been changed and his speech just reiterates my purpose in life.
