Something I have been struggling with as of late is the purpose of my life in specificity. Disclaimer: I am a Christian who knows my goal in life is to serve God by serving others. This part is very clear to me. Any and all prayer and contemplation vividly emphasize serving others. What I have been struggling with is the specifics of the service.

Currently I run my own service based company as well as act in multiple roles for another company. It is plenty enough to keep my time occupied (and then some). What I worry about is ensuring that I am engaged in what my maximum potential truly is. I love working with people with my company and working for the other company and I have no complaints about it. But I also have many ideas that I would like to develop into companies, technologies, and projects. Many of the ideas are something I feel that would help many people and make a big positive impact or fuel many great projects. I will not reject the people I serve but I cannot ignore the future ideas. This is getting to an interesting point in life.

I find myself putting away things that were a large part of my personality and life. A tremendous amount of my childhood was spent boating, fishing, biking, go-carting, gaming, paint balling, and many other “ing’s”. Now I must face a certain reality. I am at a point where a child is a very possible reality in my near future. I am also realizing I am responsible for my family, church, community, and globe. If there is anything I can do it make anything better by sacrificing a recreational activity, I must do it. There isn’t a logical reason to procrastinate on this reality. The wonderful thing that has been developing in my life is that I find my mind is growing a love for serving others and developing ideas that make other peoples lives better. Anything that takes away from that is truly exponentially detrimental and not  just for myself. It is time to maximize my potential and live it.
