Introduction and Main Lesson
To live purposefully is to be concerned with what you are here on earth for and what you are trying to do and achieve with your life. It also involves what legacy one would leave on earth if one should be called to eternity. So many people are down because they do not know what to do with your lives, or what they are on earth for. To live a purposeful life is to be productive and competent in managing your life. It involves setting life-goals based on godly convictions and pursuing those goals. When a woman is not purposeful she leads aimless and passive life which can lead to stagnation in her life.
After these there must be conscious effort to monitor and assess whether our lives are moving in the right direction while paying attention to the outcomes of our behaviour. Being able to stay focused and implement personal goals requires a self discipline. Discipline is our ability to organise our behaviour over time for specific task and purpose. It is only when we discipline ourselves that we are able to live purposefully and successfully.
