"How To Adequately Prepare For Living" (Pt.2) #527

We have just finished a study on the subject of "Purpose."  One of the greatest problems with developing and discovering a sense of purpose in our lives is that we almost always start with ourselves...which leads to huge questions.  All of life, if it is to be lived successfully, must be lived in and from and out of a sense of community...others!  If you can see and understand this, it will help you to also see why gaining and having a sense of purpose is so difficult. 

If, on the other hand, you see something that is fundamental and foundational to life, something that is much larger than you are, then a sense of perspective is established which can and will become an incredible starting point in your quest for meaning and purpose in your life. 

Preparation is a key ingredient in discovering purpose and mission; we don't just begin walking in success throughout this life.  "What's involved in this preparation?"  "Do I have to change; if so, how much and in what areas?"  "Who guides or directs this preparation?"  These are all questions worthy of discussion.  Purpose, Mission, and Preparation are all involved in this two-session study on "How To Prepare For Living."
