Life is never made Unbearable by Circumstances, but only by Lack of Meaning and Purpose. By Bishop Duke Akamisoko

You have a masterpiece inside you, you know. One unlike any that has ever been created, or ever will be. If you go to your grave without painting your masterpiece, it will not get painted. No one else can paint it. Only you. The two most important days in life are the day you born and the day you discover the reason why. It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dream of meeting your heart’s longing. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it . The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. People don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. Why did you get out of bed this morning, and why should anyone care? I believe each of us has a mission in life, and that one cannot truly be living their most fulfilled life until they recognize this mission and dedicate their life to pursuing it. The person without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder. The purpose of life is a life of purpose. The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it. Happy are those whose purpose has found them. When you walk in purpose, you collide with destiny. Purpose is the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s needs. To forget one’s purpose is the commonest form of stupidity. Good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose. Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.What you do is only ever as good as why you do it.
Great Easter celebration is in Jesus name!
