DAY 5 OF 5

The When And Where – Right Now

Timing is everything. It's just as important as what we do. We need to make sure that whatever we do in life, we are in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. When it comes to our purpose, THE TIME IS NOW!

So where do you go from here? What do you do with the tools of accountability, ambition, and discipline? This is where you JUMP! You start right where you are, and you start right away. 

Right Now

"…Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
- 2 Corinthians 6:2b NKJV

Your purpose is living your life in such a way that you pursue your passion. So many people try to wait for the perfect circumstances before they start. To build up that business to produce millions of dollars a year, you have to start with doing $1,000 a month. Start with what you have and build it up from there. 

Now is the time to start. Why wait? Don't let the roadblock of fear stop you. Don't wait for the perfect moment. Start right now where you are with what you have. 

Our children are looking to us to be the example of how to live. Let's start being that example right now. This devotional can be applied to anyone, but I wanted to write specifically to parents. Many of today’s families are fatherless. It's rare to have a man and woman in the same house as parents. It's even rarer to have both biological parents under the same roof. No matter where you are in this, pursue your purpose. 

You have a purpose. You are not an accident. "Pursuing your purpose will set a great example as a parent. Allow your children to see you live out your dreams."

Thank you for reading this devotional. If you want to read more, get my book The Purposeful Parent at www.thepurposefulparentbook.com . The book includes action plans that, if followed, will get you going in the right direction to live out your purpose.

About this Plan

The Purposeful Parent

As a parent, you were created to pursue your purpose. There is a calling for you to fulfill that is bigger than being Mom or Dad. Being a parent is one of the biggest jobs that you can have but you were created to do other things in addition to being a parent. You were created for a purpose. Let’s pursue it.
