Welcome all...!!!
This is me, this is real and I believe I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be for now. I know I have not arrived, but I take each day at a time as I reach forth for what God has in store for me, one day and one moment at a time. I love life and I love to see people living to the fullest, maximising their potential. I believe life is for living so live each day as if its your last.

He gives grace for every assignment
As I dragged myself to bed way past my bedtime, I couldn’t help but grumble inside on why is there so much to do and only 24hours in a day, I’m sure a lot of us who are parents, spouses and hold a job will agree with me that sometimes it just seems like there isn’t enough time in the day for everything we are to do. But as I pondered on that something struck me, the fact that it is in those 24hours that we are expected to do all we have for the day, and if we miss the day then tomorrow starts on a clean slate, so what you lost yesterday cannot be recovered. I heard one preacher saying life happens in cycles or seasons, that is everything in life that happens is part of a cycle, so if you miss your timing in the cycle life will have to go full cycle before you can get that chance again. So in those 24 hours that we each get as each day dawns there is enough time to fulfil the purpose God has for us for that day, what I mean is your life purpose can be divided into bite-sized portions called ‘a day’, so in each day one has the potential to fulfil the part of one’s purpose that can fit into those 24hours one has. On the flip side it means if you miss doing what you need to do in the 24hours you have today, tomorrow you have double the job to fulfil, and if it’s too much you will find that you will be trailing behind in your fulfilment of your life’s purpose. Fortunately it’s not a competition as each of us has a unique purpose which is peculiar to each and every single one of us, so if you miss a day there is no outside pressure as only you can do what you have to do the way you do it. The only pressure would be from within, the knowledge that you could be far in what you were born to do but because of procrastination or outside influences you find yourself still at starting point. God however is gracious and gives us second, third and so forth chances as we fall and miss the mark, sometimes going in the wrong direction altogether, He stays close to us and encourages us to get up and back on track as His purposes in us are eternal.

Interesting piece. I must agree with you about each of us having our unique purposes, which in my life totally eliminates the need to compete labanye.
