Are you living the life you were meant to live? What are you living for? Why are you living? What do you want to do?

I find that some people are fine not knowing the answers to these questions. That’s fine, you can make that decision. However, I’ve found, personally, that I want to know the answers to those questions, but I don’t want to put in the hustle to know the answers. I have to hustle, though, because the answers to those questions are not simple. It takes time, failing, adjusting, discovering, experiencing new things, and moving forward. The most difficult thing to overcome is my flesh’s desire to control my life and not be surrendered to God’s plan. Yet, His plan is the best!

So first, understand that your life plan is only fully understood in God because He created you. If you want to know your purpose, know Christ. Success and honor only come from and are granted by God.

Second, if you want your life to improve and to live the life you were meant to live, you must embrace hustle and diligence. Why? There is no magic pill that causes your life to get better. Diligence is excellence everyday for a life time. You must make better decisions for a long time. Think of it like compound interest. At first, within the first three years, you really don’t feel or see the changes, but as the good decisions begin to accumulate, your life will begin to get exponentially better. This begs the question, though, “Do you know how you make decisions now? Do you know what holds you back? Do you know what causes you to excel?”

To live the life you are meant to live, it must include God and it starts everyday, so start!
