Feeling fulfilled and finding purpose significantly contributes to quality of life. Why are we here? How did we get here? What is it all for? Many people have specific yearnings or “callings” or a desire to achieve distinctive goals in life. In many cases these desires are God-given to fulfill the human part in the wholeness of creation.

Once purpose is discovered and the major long term goal is established, it is important to recognize the requirements for achieving the long term goal. Once requirements are learned, people can map out their journey toward the main goal with short term goals. These are plan steps that help highlight when milestones are achieved during the journey.

There will likely be difficult times during the journey, so it is very important not to take for granted people around who are life-giving and strengthening for other’s emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Everyone must also utilize their faith in God, who keeps everyone fortified to endure disheartening times.
