Too many people allow obstacles and challenges to define their life or restrict their thinking. As a result, they limit their ability to achieve results. Working through life’s difficulties without purpose is miserable, and it becomes tempting to run and hide from them. Give someone hope by helping them find meaning and purpose in the challenges they face because meaning and purpose turn something bad into something good.
Many situations start as hopeless. Hope is not based on the way things are. Rather, it arises from finding meaning and purpose. You can bring hope to someone’s day by helping them understand the meaning and purpose behind the challenge they are facing.
When people don’t choose meaning and purpose, they choose to be held back by the factors of the situation. To move forward requires a choice to do so. Meaning and purpose help them see past the current obstacles, whether real or perceived.
Purpose provides a reason to keep going. It exercises their determination muscle allowing them to persist when the challenges get tough. Purpose pushes people aggressively to the highest level of accomplishment.
Good can come from any situation. Help people find meaning and purpose in those bad situations. Help them move from hopeless to hopeful by helping them find meaning and purpose in whatever they are facing. Put the power of purpose into someone’s day and bring meaning to their world. When purpose and meaning are clear, nothing can hold them back.
