Failure to acknowledge your maker God is the ultimate hindrance to discovering
your purpose in life!

Suigeneris93:
Op you're on point, the only flaw I have with your write-up is that, being a christian, the number one thing that I think will make one not discover their purpose in life, is not having a relationship with their creator, God. For me, that is the most important and necessary

Rapmoney:
Thanks for the notification!

Nice thread

Rapmoney:
Do you realize not everyone is a Christian? Thanks though; that would be corrected

Teempakguy:

I thought about the appropriate section to post this for some time before settling for the Education Section. My reason being that I consider the post educative

As we grow older, we tend to learn new and different things everyday! The only man that doesn't learn is one who is dead!!! Although, it is pertinent to note also that most young people today rarely succumb to learning some simple and basic principles in life due to unnecessary pride! I am a REALIST and I believe in expressing things just the way I see them instead of trying to 'window-dress' issues or live on the notion that 'things ought to be this or that way'.

The following are some of the things that can contribute as hindrance towards achieving your purpose in life; especially, as a young man:

1) Having no relationship with the Supreme Being: This doesn't amount to attending church alone. You should, at least be humanly fair and act as your Creator would love to see you act

2) Strictly relying on your course of study even with no progress: There's a Nigerian proverb that says: 'You don't stand in one particular place to watch masquerades dance'. If it happens that your course of study isn't giving you the kind of fulfilment you wish in life, you can learn new skills and develop your talents. Don't be too proud to learn; even if it is a vocational skill! Find your purpose in life!!!

3) Depending too much on your certificate: It should have downed on you now that it was much easier to secure a job in Nigeria 10 years ago than 5 years ago. It is also worthy to note that it was much easier to secure a job 5 years ago than now!!! This goes a long way to show that today, your degree doesn't worth more than the paper the result is printed on! If you are an undergraduate still having that outdated dream that once you leave school, you would definitely get a well-paying job based on your degree, you are living in a fool's paradise! You need to work extra hard to discover your purpose in life.

4) Keeping numerous and unncessary friends: A man that has a destination does not shake hands with everyone he sees on the road. It is better to keep a few circle of friends. A vehicle overloaded with people hardly move fast! Most of the very popular guys I knew back in school who kept many friends didn't end well. Too many unnecessary friends can distract you from achieving your goals and discover your purpose. Anyone whose lifestyle drags you back or doesn't inspire you is not suppose to be your friend.

5) Involving yourself in multiple dating (For guys): Chasing women up and down is surely one hindrance to discovering your purpose! You will hardly have enough to save because you would want to spend while trying to impress. Don't be deceived! Dating is not free! It comes with responsibilities. Date one woman and tolerate the responsibilities! Before you think of lavishing money on women, think of that farm you have planned to start or that studio you planned to set up!

6) Unnecessarily depending on your parents when you are grown: If you are too lazy to hustle and fend for yourself even when you are grown, you may never discover your purpose in life. That comfort zone is not the final bus-stop! In fact, still eating from your parents when you are grown and qualified and fit to work can attract curses to your life; if you are 25 and you are still asking your parents for money to cut your hair, you surely doesn't deserve the blessings of the Creator and you are not yet ready to discover your purpose; should you be expecting blessings?

Thanks to the few friends I kept while serving in Ilorin-South, Kwara State. It's been 8 years now and I must say, you guys inspired me!!!
