Pursuing the life you want for yourself takes the discipline to first build a long term plan and then complete the goals necessary to accomplish it. Fulfilling your purpose takes the exact opposite.
Where pursuing what makes you happy requires you to look to the future, fulfilling your purpose and doing what you’re called to do happens right now, in this moment.
The reason for this is that your purpose is fulfilled one opportunity at a time, and those opportunities don’t come ten years down the road, they come moment by moment.
Many say wisdom is preparing for tomorrow. True wisdom is letting tomorrow worry about itself and fighting today’s battle first.
Fulfill your purpose.
