We must bring a respect for wealth and abundance. Having achieved it to some satisfactory degree on our own, we must move into relationships willing to share what we have, rather than being afraid of someone taking it.
When we have no goal, or when our vision of the goal is obscured, we may lose our sense of purpose. Even when we've prepared ourselves well and have an aptitude for a given activity, poorly directed efforts can rob us of vital energy.

Unless we create specific goals that match our purpose in life and unless we keep a clear vision of these goals, we may eventually falter and fail.

But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose.

People at large have lost any sense of the meaning and purpose of life; and without an understanding of our own purpose, there can be no true commitment.

Commitment and purpose go hand in hand.
