Doing the work you were born for

‘All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.’ Psalm 139

How would you like to get to the end of your life and say I have done that work I was born for?

I know a top businessman who encouraged those that followed him to always start with the end in mind - this was his strategy as he built a new company from scratch. His vision was to create a business of value that could be sold for a life changing amount of cash. Even his expectations must have been exceeded when several years later he sold the company for ten of millions of pounds. In the process many stakeholders that aligned themselves with his vision became Millionaires. So did everyone live happily and peacefully ever after - what do you think?

You see when you start with the end in mind always begin with your last day on planet earth - read what Martin Luther King Said the day before he was assassinated.

“Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult

days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now; because I’ve

been to the mountaintop, and I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like

to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned

about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to

go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the

Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know

tonight, that we, as a people will get to the Promised Land. And I’m

happy tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any

man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”
