At some point i was really really confused about all of these, you know that moment when you seem lost, like everything is just so overwhelming, confusing, you can't actually draw a line or trace a dot that could really lead to the point were you're what's really happening, how can you put all of these together to paint a wholistic picture.
However in my quest to find answers to this question of self and purpose discovery that had cloaked my heart over time, there was this silent still little reasoning that popped up in my heart and still yet I was confused in my thoughts till I had to go seek clarity from a mentor..
I asked my mentor about which of these comes first and in what order for perfect alignment, he said, For any man to be 100% complete and to function at his optimum capacity first and foremost that man must discover God....
For a long Time I had thought about this and I've found it to be true as it relates with purpose discovery, the truth is everything God created came from a source, the fishes, the bird the animals wild lifes when God said let all their inhabitat bring forth so did they, but when it came to man God said let us make man, meaning God is the source of man, just like if you take out fish from the water it will barely survive , take a monkey from the bush to the city it will be confused and so forth, the reasons is that any these will only function well in their habitat or environment.

Man must first of all discover God who's he's source, my mentor would say, then as he grows in the knowing of his source he can function optimally in him who made him, there by point us to the second ...Self discovery....
This is purpose discovery to really know who you are, your very essence for life, why are you here, what's in for us, why do we just happen to see ourselves, is this all there is in life?, live, grow old, hustle, work hard, give birth grow old and die?...
But wait a minute we know God to be too wise to create man for nothing, there must be an assignment, a reason behind all that he does, so we are not just here for nothing and untill we discover that reason and live it, our lives won't make sense....
So the question is what is our purpose?, How do you discover your purpose as a person and how do you start living that purpose which is the true essence of your existence on earth....

Based on a true-Life story
So everything I'm likely to tell you from this point is factual and its just my way of defining purpose, how I knew my purpose how I'm living it and how I intend to live it as I discover some more.
Purpose in it's simplest form is called reason, i have found a reason for me, as I said earlier curiosity found me asking questions and digging some thought out, but however I didn't just get my answer all at once as in hearing some loud voice from heaven telling me hey my son this is your purpose from now hence forth nah, it simply just came to me gradually as I grow....
Here's a thing everytime I go out, I always have this feeling of pity towards others like I feel they should be better than their state, so I always ask myself what were they actually doing in their prime, why are they suffering, why are they doing less, yeah I know somehow life happens cause no body want to be were they are, we all want better, we all want to live our dreams, however all tho as young as I was I had a mind of a grown up adult, I knew things so right and well like I know what I ought to do per time and how to do it, because of all this curiosity I published a book tittle "Attribute of success in 2016".
Some how I was able to sum up The questions in my heart and the answers just keep coming to me, so each time they come I'd pen it down and then decided to launch a book from it, I wish a lot of people would read it, I actually started going out to schools doing public speaking to student and even in a bus, trying to convey the message in my book, I understood that the reason why people are not doing so well is because of lack of knowledge, I just got inspired by almost everything and I can write about it, so I earnestly wish to transfer this natural wisdom to people on how to do more...
These weeks prompt actually comes with a lot of why's and what if's, which is not far from the numerous questions in our heart and shockingly no one can Answer these questions except us, one time I was so confused and I was so so deep in thought cause I was trying to figure out a lot of things going wrong in my life so I keep trying to figure it all out but the more I try to, the more confused and lost i get, it was like running in a maze trying to get out, the faster you run, the more lost and confuse you will be, just relax and let your self slowly navigate through it...
The essence of life is buried in our purpose to find your purpose you must first be in your natural habitat, like i said before if you take a fish from the water and put it inside a small bucket of water it might still survive but is limited, it can't really do so much in there, so are we we humans,
God is our habitat, he created man and left a vacuum in man that only him can fill, without which an will still be lacking somethings
You can have all the money all the wealth all that your heart desires and still not be fulfilled, the reason because you haven't really found purpose,
purpose is that fulfilling feeling you get when you genuinely do something that makes you happy, and somehow you want to do more of it
And untill you find yourself doing it you won't be truly happy and all of these why's and what if's will still be rocking your heart for a long time...
