A purposeful life is a meaningful life. One of the reasons we are here on earth is to live a purposeful life. It is the foundation of our lives. It is the foundation of your life. A life without purpose is a meaningless life. A life with purpose is a meaningful life.

To have a dream is to have hope to pursue your dream. If you don’t have a dream, you don’t have any reason to live. A dream is a goal that you set for yourself to achieve. You can only achieve your dream if you know where you are going.

To know where you are going in life, to know what you want to achieve and how to achieve it, you must know how to make peace with your values. Your values control your decisions. Your values guide your life. Your values make your life meaningful. They push you to do more, to be careful, to make the right decisions, and to stay away from what is wrong.

If you want to build your own dream, if you want to live a purposeful life, you must do the right thing, even if no one is watching you. You must create your own path, meaning you must do your own thing. You must live your own life, in your own way. You must find something that you are passionate about. You must live and practice your own values, not someone else’s values. You must commit yourself to being there for people, when they need you. You must learn how to serve others and yourself.

If you don’t build your own dream, if you don’t build your own life, another person will take control of your life and do it for you. If you allow that to happen, then you are living someone else’s dream, not yours.

How To Stay Relevant

We all want to be relevant. We want to live our lives. We want to do our own things, in our own ways. We want to be treated with respect and dignity. We want to grow. We want to stay important. We want to stay relevant.

How do we stay relevant? How do we keep growing?

To stay relevant in life, you MUST first think, see, and treat yourself in a relevant way. You must first see yourself as an important person. You must treat yourself in a respectful way. If you don’t know who you are, if you don’t know your values, if you don’t know how powerful you are, no one will care.

It is important to stay relevant if we are to enjoy life. The only critical way to stay relevant in life is to keep moving. We need to keep growing. We need to keep moving. We need to keep challenging ourselves, keep questioning our assumptions, keep connecting with others. We need to get out of our comfort zones. We need to keep trying new things.

To stay relevant, Will Rogers said, “Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” No matter where you are, what you are doing, how you are doing it, don’t be comfortable. Don’t think you have nothing to learn anymore. If you keep that kind of mentality, you will miss lots of opportunities to grow and improve yourself.

Always challenge what you think you know. Open your mind to learn new things, to take new ideas, to question people and yourself. If you don’t bring in new ideas, new ways of doing things into your business, your business will not be around for long. If you don’t keep upgrading yourself, you can’t keep your job for long. If you want your life to be relevant, keep doing relevant things.
