“La búsqueda del propósito de vivir ha intrigado a la gente por miles de años. Eso ocurre porque solemos empezar por el punto de partida errado: nosotros mismos. Nos hacemos preguntas egoístas como: ¿Qué quiero ser?, ¿Qué debo hacer con mi vida?, ¿Cuáles son mis metas, mis anhelos, mis sueños para el futuro? Enfocarnos en nosotros mismos nunca podrá revelarnos el propósito de nuestra vida. La Biblia dice: «En su mano está la vida de todo ser viviente»

“When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that’s called worry. When you think about God’s Word over and over in your mind, that’s meditation. If you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate! You just need to switch your attention from your problems to Bible verses. The more you meditate on God’s Word, the less you will have to worry about.”

To fulfill the purposes God made you for, you will have to challenge conventional wisdom and replace it with the biblical metaphors of life. The Bible says, “Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God.”
