Purposefulness is having a clear focus instead of being unsure of what you are doing or why you are doing it. When you have a goal you are working toward, you are acting on purpose. To be purposeful means to concentrate on something. You concentrate your mind so that you can keep your goal before you. You concentrate your efforts so that something good will happen as a result. You are faithful to your purpose no matter what.
Some people just let things happen. Without clear purpose you would probably become scattered. Without concentrated efforts nothing gets accomplished. You would do a little of this and a little of that, never really finishing anything. You would be surrounded by all kinds of unfinished projects with none of them really complete. All your time and efforts would be wasted.
A purposeful person makes things happen. When you choose to be purposeful, you can accomplish great things. You have a vision or goal for what you want to do. Act in a concentrated and focused way, and you will see the results of your efforts. You will always be motivated because you are doing something. You will stick to your purpose no matter the obstacles that come your way. With God's help, when you are purposeful, you can achieve just about anything.
Talking to yourself ...
What do I really want to accomplish? This is your vision and goal.
What makes this so important to me? The answer to this is your purpose. Now you are ready to act.
Is what I am doing going to help me accomplish my purpose? If the answer is yes, then concentrate really hard on doing it. If the answer is no, then change what you are doing to fit your purpose.
What happens if I get distracted along the way? If something comes along to distract you, try hard to resist it. Get back to your purpose as soon as you can.
Believing in something makes it possible. It doesn't necessarily make it easy.
Persevere until you get results!
