2nd and 3rd Place

When we are living in our purpose, we are in 1^st place.  We won the race of humanity and we do not have to live in misery over our work.  We do not have to dream about our perfect job because we are already living it. 

What if you do not get the chance to follow through on your purpose? There are millions of the people in the world who are just living for their basic needs, working for their family, and not following through on their actual life purpose.  This is the sad reality of life and the pressures of society to “work” to “pay the bills.”

In America, people are truly blessed with a wide variety of choices and majors in almost any field you desire.  In a place like Morocco, Turkey, India-the choices are limited and you are left with your 2^nd or 3^rd place over your first.  You may never get to your first because there is no demand for the job and the education is scare or completely unavailable.  You can go to another country to study, but is most likely is expensive, competitive, and you require specific visa.  These factors are discouraging people away from their purpose and into a  “pays the bills” kind of job.  Of course, people have potential to like these jobs or even love them, but many people I meet have the wondering eyes.

The wondering eyes are those eyes that are hungry for their purpose. Those eyes that want to smile, but they are just content with their daily monotomy.  They have eyes that have almost given up on their purpose, but there is still hope.  There is still hope because anything is possible.  The life factors such as: money, family, commitment, education, and culture may lead them astray.  They maybe lead away from their purpose, but they just have to keep fighting for it and be persistent.
