[THE DAILY BREATH]

There are three important periods in your life.

When you enter your twenties, you chase a career that other people suggested, recommended, or imposed on you. You are doing other people's purpose.

When you finish your twenties, frustration and depression - sometimes illnesses - begin to set in because you feel you have no purpose in life. If you find the courage to break the bondage, you go to find your purpose. You discover your passion and follow your dreams for a while. You feel bliss because you feel you have found freedom. You are doing your purpose.

And one day, God touches your heart and you put all your dreams at His feet. When you lift your hands and say: "Jesus, I am yours. Everything I am, use all of me," you begin to do God's purpose for you. You are finally free.

For thousands of years humanity has been trying to answer the question: “Do we have life after death?” Maybe for the first time you must now answer the question: “Do I really have a life before death?

The only way to thrive in the future is to focus on what you love, develop knowledge and skills in the service of your passion, and be relentless in doing the work.

Following your dreams means living in Truth. This may be the most obvious and yet, ironically, the hardest thing to do in this world.

[THE DAILY BREATH]

Do you remember the first day of school, when your mom and dad gave you the new uniform, the shiny shoes and a little lunch box with fresh food made that morning?

The mystery of your relationship with our Heavenly Father is mirrored in your relationship with your children.

For the first 5-6 years of your life, you never asked nor worried about your school uniform, the shoes you will wear or the lunch box for the first day of school. Probably you didn't even know you needed them before school started and you did get them.

Your parents knew you needed them, and when the moment arrived, you received them. You didn't get them before or after, but when the moment of need arrived.

You might understand now what our Heavenly Father meant when He said: "I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers." Jesus reaffirmed this message when He said: "Your Father knows you need all these even before you even ask Him."

Do not worry about the future. There is perfect peace in this moment.
Do not worry.

Today only remember and trust your Heavenly parent, the One who breathed life into your body and spirit. He will give you all you need. When the moment arrives.

When you claim your power and follow your heart, by the time you reach any obstacles you see off in the distance, they will have been removed for you.
