Finding A Purpose (Youth Perspective) by David .O. Kelvin

                   FINDING A PURPOSE 
                      (Youth Perspective)

By: David O. Kelvin

I bare my mind in a quest to solve the ills that be clouds every youth. I seem lost in the quagmire of youth ignorance. Its quit alarming when you consider the high rate of irrelevancy both in dos and don't of our age. Our time is filled with many young ones who seem to be satisfied with getting a degree, adding a certificate from the NYSC to boost their CV, others are satisfied with life, if only they could pull at least a three square meal on their table daily. But dear readers, is that all there is to life?
It doesn't matter when, where and how you came into being, there's a reason behind every existence. A purpose preceded your creation.
Purpose is the original intent, blueprint behind  the creation, manifestation or invention of any thing. You exist for a reason.
Its possible, some were born at a time our supposed parent where not particularly ready to have a child, Please note, when you came, was just the perfect time for heaven to release you to earth. None is a mistake.
One of the ills of our society is that, a high number of youths are finding it difficult to find a purpose for themselves. I stand to say that, you don't find a Purpose for yourself, you discover what was for you before you were born.
You don't give yourself a purpose, you discover it. Have you ever seen a product telling its manufacturer what it wants? Of cause not. You align your path with that which has already been laid down for you.
Don't go about telling  people the world owe you something. It owes you nothing, instead you owe the world everything your purpose has to offer. Don't be satisfied with nothing, for whatever you have outside your purpose in life is nothing. Seek to discover your purpose by checking your innate passion and talents.
In conclusion, imitating others to do what he or she does is ill wisdom. Discover your real identity and put a smile on someone's face.
