SECTION 1: The Nature of A Thing

Your Purpose is anchored in indomitable truths which protect and empower the call on your life.  Due to these truths and protections you can face your future with confidence and clarity. In Module 2 we learned about the truths of purpose. Each of these truths call forth the future manifestation of your purpose. In this module we will delve even more into understanding truths and exploring the protections. 

​

Understanding the Nature of Purpose equips you with the practical knowledge you need to identify and unleash your purpose. This understanding also helps you with persisting in ‘living out’ and walking into your purpose. To understand the Nature of Purpose we must understand 'what is the nature of a thing?' and 'how does that nature relate to purpose?'

​

No matter how your life started or how challenging it has been, you are not a mistake. Remember, you exist because of what you were created to do. You are necessary. You are essential. You are the solution to a problem in your generation. 

 

Your nature and design is yet another piece of evidence for what you were designed to do.  Your nature reveals to you your relevant capabilities. This means that you have characteristics and qualities which are predictors of your calling. Your instincts, characteristics and gifts all reveal your nature. 

 

Your nature possesses all you need to fulfill your purpose. You do not need to be more like anyone else but yourself. Remember, your purpose is not outside of you, it is on the inside of you. Everything you need to fulfill your purpose is right where you are now, on the inside of you! 

 

The Nature of a Thing:

 

• Is the particular combination of qualities belonging to a person, animal, thing, or class by birth, origin, or constitution

• [Are] the instincts or inherent tendencies that direct its conduct.

 

The Nature of Purpose: 

• Purpose predicts the nature of something => nature is that which a product [person] inherently is

• From birth, each of us is endowed with unique qualities and characteristics, seemingly designed to fulfill a specific purpose. This unique value offering defines the scope of our potential contributions to the world.

• To remove your purpose would be to significantly change who you are, because your purpose both informs and reveals your nature and your responsibilities.
