How do you discover your life purpose, as well as effective personal growth and development systems? This is the primary question that has engaged my attention for the last 20 years. Hopefully, you will find enough resources here to help you discover the meaning of life, find God's purpose for you as an individual, and explore time-tested principles on how to fulfill your destiny.

I spent a significant amount of time and money on leadership and self-help books and tapes in my search for purpose, personal growth and development. I still read many of them. But most of what they told me was: ‘look into your self, and be true to yourself, and do what will make you happy’. The problem with that advice is: I was tired of living just for me. I did not feel like I had found what the meaning of my life was all about or how to make it count for something intrinsically greater and deeper than me.

Then, one day, I read something from the Amplified Bible that so radically changed my life and shaped my worldview: “Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light. Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil" Ephesians 5: 14-16.

Suddenly, I realized that the Bible is a divine guide for life, and has something quite relevant to say about how I live my everyday life; that Jesus Christ can actually help me “live purposefully, worthily and accurately”. I began to search the Bible to learn what I could about how to discover purpose, God’s purpose for my life, and how to find true joy and meaning while living to my maximum potential.

That was when I discovered two passages in the Bible that solidified my belief that life's purpose can only be found in God, and inspired me to help others discover their life purpose: “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding” Job 32:8, KJV; and this one from the Message: "It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for" Eph 1: 11. My life has taken a new meaning since I settled on the fact that the purpose for human life is to enjoy God and glorify him.

There is more to your life than meets the eye. You are a spirit being, living in a human body. Or, in the words of Teilhard de Chardin, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience”. What this means to me is that life’s purpose or personal growth must start with developing the human soul. It also tells me that my life, like yours, is worth much more than physical, material or academic achievements. There is a spirit in us all – the human spirit. But there is also the Spirit of God is us. It is only the Spirit of God within the human soul that brings enlightenment, purpose, and meaning. I need the inspiration of the Almighty God to become the person he made me to be; and so do you.
