Hello and welcome to a Piece of Peace, your weekly dose of motivation and inspiration. This week I would like to Share with you on the topic, "Understanding Your Vision". We are all here to serve a purpose. No matter what background, country or race, your destination on earth is not by accident. There is a clear and specific agenda for your life. That agenda was destined a long time before you were even born and it holds the key to unlocking your potential. I call this the Vision. We all have it, even the ones that everybody has written off.

It is God's roadmap for our lives. Our vision is what leads us to discovering our greatness. It is a powerful tool that needs to be understood In order to identify what God has called us to do. The enemy seeks to confuse you about your vision because so long as you don't know why you are here, you will always live a mediocre life. It is a way of keeping you imprisoned and trapped in a world where you are considered average. You are destined for greatness and remarkable impact. Sadly, not all of us realise our true potential.

As a previous teacher, I have witnessed several young lives, with so much potential and promise not reach their fullest potential because they spent their time failing to understand what God has called them to do. I was once asked by my students, how do I know what I am destined to be. That is the most difficult question of all. How do you identify what your purpose is? It starts with your passion. That burning desire to achieve something no matter what it costs you. That goal or objective that makes waking up and working tirelessly worth while. You see, God gave us clues that will help us to identify that vision. Find your passion and you will find your purpose which ultimately leads to you walking on a path to achieve your vision. What will you give everything to have? Is there an end to that dream you have inside of you? And if you had to do only one thing on earth, what would you be happy doing? Ponder these questions and if there seems to be a recurring answer, then you might just be on the brink of unlocking your passion. But remember, passion without hard work does not achieve any results. There is no point having the burning desire to be the best football player in the world, but never train. No matter what you want to do, hard work is key to unlocking that potential.

And No matter what you do, always remember to be yourself. Because everyone else is taken.
