There are places in our lives where we need to change for the better.
Change is directed to living in abundance. Maybe we need it in our
marriage, friendship, finances, health, and career. Whatever area it
is there is always room for Improvement. You even advertised that you
were going to change with public resolutions. If this is you this is
the time to turn your negative into a positive.
 
Exposure: John 1:1-14, text v.14
God wanted to expose us to him. We were exposed through the
existence of Christ whom exposed us to heaven and all it had to offer
us. He exposed us to higher thinking and faith that can’t be taught
or humanly detected.
 
You cannot change your life to do better in an area unknown to you
less you are exposed to greater options. Without exposure you will
never be what you could be, what you are called or chosen to be.

We need to be exposed with the supremacy of Gods plan
of what he had in place to be when he made you from the foundation of
the world. Most people are not properly used because you don’t know why you
were made the way you were made. You have to know the master plan and
what God has for your life or you will be abused by other people’s agenda. Exposure
is critical if you are going to be the person God wants you to be and
if you are going to move effectively the way God allows you to.
God will sometimes give you a sample or a taste something different.
This technique is used to expose you to the direction and knowledge
that will help shape you for your future.
 
The worst thing is working with people who have not been properly
exposed to anything. These people are critical and narrow minded as
well as judgmental. They think that the whole world is hinged upon
their own experience. The truth is you know what you have experienced
and exposed which means you have been under exposed and you can’t turn
your life around until you come out your familiar environment. You
cannot make an intelligent decision with poor information.

 
Stop making prejudged ideas on things that you have not been exposed
to. God changes us by exposing us. Sometimes God will expose you to
something that you are not ready for. You might have to circle around
it a few times before it attracts you. Also you might have to grow up
to it and mature in it. You may not have a taste for it overnight and
may not like the experience because you were not ever exposed to it
and it’s not familiar to you.
 
When Jesus came into the earth realm, people were not familiar with Him and
rejected Him because He did not fit their idea. If it’s not according
to your book you have a hard time accepting it. If anyone does anything
different from us we have a problem because we are not familiar.
 
Do not let someone else’s underexposure imprison you with their one
way method. Don’t allow other people make you feel bad about what you
know and what you have been exposed to.
 
Most people become friends with people that have common goals and
ideas with them. We even marry people we are familiar with. We don’t
want different because it is too complicated. So we build our lives
around only what we know and not what we are exposed to.
 
Most people live in the closet and don’t know it. Why die before you
learn more options to live for. You haven’t seen the best of life as
well as your options.
 
Exposure forces you out of your element and begins with cross
palliating with other creatures, other cultures, other foods, other
places, other ages, stages. Break out of your imprisoned mindset and
accept what God exposes you to.

The concept behind digging your well before you’re thirsty means you cultivate your relationships with your friends, co-laborers, and acquaintances before you need them. You lend a helping hand before you need borrowing one for yourself.

If you’re a person chasing after your success by enriching your passion, you’ll meet many of your goals, because, your passion will attract people who are after the same common or unique goal. Remember it’s not always what you know, but who you know and how you treat them.

The vast majority of people get caught up in valueless efforts only to find they have dug a well without purpose. Digging a well without purpose and when you are thirsty can kill your motivation to continue on the journey of conquering your ultimate dreams. The truth of the matter is that you have to dig your creative well before dry times; otherwise you will dig out of timing. That is the prime issue, being in the right place but at the wrong time or at the right time being in the wrong place.

Here are a few points that will help you as a mentor for the future

If you are a mentor give without expecting anything in return. Give because you are in a position to help someone who deserves it. Give because it makes you feel great and you know what you put out into the universe comes back to you one thousand fold. But mostly, give because it could actually change someone’s world for the better.

Do not Under-promise and Over-deliver. No one likes a loud mouth name-dropper. Protect your circle of relationships with your friends and co-laborers as you would guard a newborn. Be willing to share and connect to those who will genuinely appreciate the lift. Once you have an established, genuine relationship with someone, help them to dig their own well too.

You Can Have It All, You Just Can’t Do It All Yourself. As I comment all the time, any vision that you can do on your own without help or helping others is counterfeit. No matter how smart you are, no matter how talented, you can’t do it alone. Take the time to build a great support system. Find and promote people who get it done better, faster and easier than you without being jealous and being egotistical and self-centered. It is said that the savviest people surround themselves with people who are smarter than they are. That way, if you are off your game for a few weeks or even months, you have a circle in place that’s got your back.

Remember if you dig into success, remember those you left behind you that have vision, big dreams, and an enormous plan. Make sure to retrospect on the fact someone poured into you so now your duty is to pour in someone else. After that your job is not done. When you help them reach their place of conquering, find someone else that can’t find their way. For this God will bless you greatly.

When we pursue purpose, we must understand that purpose is rooted in words like intent, objective and goal. Within the many meanings of the word purpose, you will find the word propose, which means planning, presentation and preparation. This means, that the purpose of something is planned carefully before execution. You must realize and understand that purpose and planning is into your blueprints and future makeup. A great deal has been put into where you fit in God’s overall presentation.

The essence of God’s plan is to reveal His plan for our lives. We were predestined for a purpose. We do not exist just to take up space on earth. Our purpose is tied to our destiny and we cannot run from our predestined responsibilities and gifts that were exported into our hearts. The thing you must remember is that you cannot escape your purpose because destiny is grabbing your life and holding on to your ankles and will not let go until you submit to your purpose. This is simply a time to transition your life from being significant to becoming relevant.

I believe the first step to discovering your life purpose is to be aware that you have one. The second step is recognizing that purpose has nothing to do with you but everything to do with what God gets out of what you go through. Many people think that their purpose has to be some big fancy thing. That is ego, not spirit. Your purpose can be anything. Your purpose may be to be a janitor, a handy man, a sales person, an artist, an entrepreneur, a teacher, a daycare provider or any other opportunity that is available. As long as you are providing a service that benefit others and you are happy doing it, that’s all that matters. Don’t let other people’s view and opinions of what is important limit who you are.

When you are truly walking in your purpose, you stop seeing life as what I can get out of it, but rather how can I contribute to it. Purpose is never about you and how well you can be seen or how much credit you can get for your contribution. Your purpose and reason for existence is to have a desired effect for an intended outcome of a goal reached as well as accomplished. In order for your desire or the evolving necessaries to accomplish goals of some sort is to have a determination on seeing your focal point of existence coming to surface as you have imagined it.

Purpose is not a destination reached, but a series of opportunities along life’s journey that present themselves for us to be in position physically, mentally, and spiritually to fulfill a need that destiny has placed before us that will serve our community and glorify God.

Preparing is key and is something done in advance in order to be ready for a future.  Preparing is also an act of planning and is involved in making mental readiness and changing your lifestyle for achievement. When you plan for the future you are in a state of readiness and the lack of planning produces desperate decisions. So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each mans genius contracts itself to a very few hours. “Preparation is king, industrious efforts is queen, persistence is crowned by accomplishing your actual thought”,  

You are destined for greatness and you deserve to be happy. And every single living person needs you to step into your greatness and live your divine purpose. Remember you have a big position to play in life. Become aware that you need to find out exactly what your life purposes are and accomplish them. Accept and embrace your purpose in life and come to terms with what it means to you and others that you will affect. Articulate your life purposes by putting them into words. If you are articulating, you are putting in words what it is that you are meant to be and do. Take action by moving towards the fulfillment of your life purpose. If you are taking action, you have begun making major life changes that are more in alignment with who you are and what you are meant to do. You bring something amazing to this world. So discover the value and purpose and remember those whom are still in search of theirs as well.
