I created a list of the 100 most influential people in my life. They were selected based on whether they influenced me in a positive way, or had such a negative impact that it altered the trajectory of my life. I review that list every Thanksgiving.

How to stay open to your purpose

When God wants you to go in a specific direction, you can go willingly or he can carry you kicking and screaming. Trust me, it’s easier if you cooperate. You’ll soon realize that what you thought would be a horrible situation is actually rather enjoyable.

Your purpose will change several times over the course of your life as God opens doors and closes others. I developed an little mnemonic acrostic to help guide you toward identifying a P.U.R.P.O.S.E. for your life at any stage.
