Finding Your Purpose

“Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you got to search within you, and try to find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you
And get that motivation to not give up, and not be a quitter
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse”

– Eminem on “Till I Collapse

Where do you go? What do you do? What’s it all for? I find myself asking these questions a lot, and especially this past month. I guess you could say I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching. It seems like I’ve hit a rut in life and things just aren’t going the way I expected. Instead of eventfulness, I’m in stalemate-ness (because that’s a word). I’m used to things really poppin’ off, but these past couple of months have been the opposite. I mean don’t get me wrong, there have been highlights; but without the consistency, everything just feels empty. And when it’s like this, I start asking myself: what’s my purpose?

“So I live by a real simple philosophy
If you stay grounded watch God keep giving you reasons not to be”

– Joe Budden on “Get Up

Sometimes, you have to really persevere to get where you wanna go. As you grow older, obstacles pop up more and more and try to get in your way. It’s amazing how your goals seems so simple, yet all these other factors in life turn it into something so complicated. From working with difficult people to meeting other commitments to simply being too tired, it’s so easy to succumb to life’s difficulties. But I assure you, if you keep on…if you persevere…if you look the obstacles in their face and continue on with your journey, amazing things will happen. I speak from experience.

What is up my peoples? Happy Labor Day! Welcome to the September 2012 Opinions Column. Indeed, this is the place to go to dig within the chambers on my brain to explore my thoughts.
