2. • You can become great and make excellent
accomplishment in this life
• How do I know?
• Through the examples/experiences of the
greatest achievers the world has ever known

3. • One common experience most of them share
is that: they were ordinary men and women
but became extra-ordinary
• How did they become extra-ordinary from
been ordinary?

4. • Through what they lived for:
 They lived for something with intense
determination.
That thing was their PURPOSE
In other words they were purpose driven.

5. • What does it mean to be Purpose
Driven or what is the meaning of
purpose driven living?

6. •1 cor. 15:32
•“….Let us eat and drink
for tomorrow we die.”

7. • This is as good as asking why are we here?
What are we here for?
• What is the reason for our existence?
• There is no greater day in your life than the
day you discover you purpose for living.

8. • To be purpose driven is to have a positive
reason for living or doing something. It
means having something you stand for, a
cause you are ready to pursue to
conclusion. It is discovering the reason
for your existence, your God-given
assignment and deciding to pursue it
with all that you are and with all that you
have

9. •Is it possible to achieve the
purpose driven life?
•How?

10. •Through:
- Vision
- Courage
- Timing
- Luck

11. “Where there is no vision, the people
perish…” Prov. 29:18

12. Vision
• Vision is the root of purpose driven living
• It gives you direction
• Talent is good and very important to the
purpose driven life but without vision talents
will not take you far
• Vision tells you where you are going
• Knowing where you are going defines your
purpose in return

13. What is Vision?
• Vision represents the greatest thing
that you can imagine happening in
your life
• It is the great goal that will make you
happy, motivated and fulfilled once
achieved.

14. Courage
• There are millions of visions that will never be
realized
• What will make your own vision to be
different is the courage to execute
• You need courage to achieve your vision.
(Joshua 1:8)

15. What is courage?
• Among top ten things that people
on their death bed regret is
inability to live a life true to their
vision/dream.
–The reason is simple: Courage

16. • Courage is mental and moral strength to
venture, persevere, withstand.
– Pursuing your vision against all odds
– Pursuing your vision knowing there are challenges
to face
– Perseverance in the pursuit of your vision

17. Timing
• Life and time are inseparable. Waste your time
and you would have succeeded in wasting
your life
• I belief there is an ideal time for everything
like the preacher puts it; but you must be wise
enough to know when.
• Note that there will never be a perfect time to
do anything, you just must start now.

18. Luck
•Is there anything like
LUCK in this life?

19. YES
• My definition of LUCK is
– Diligence
– Discipline
– Determination
If you have these three together with your purpose,
you will always be lucky.

20. Everybody will have one opportunity or the
other to become great in life; seizing that
opportunity at the right time is what people call
luck.
You will be lucky when your purpose in life
meets with the right opportunity and you
quickly seize it.

21. Food for thought
“The future belongs to
those who see possibilities
before they become
obvious” – John Sculley
