3 Things You Don’t Wanna Live Without

Purpose

Well sure, you can technically ‘live’ without a purpose, but it’s not going to be one worth while. Purpose is the thing that chains us to our greatest source of life… Jesus. When our purpose comes from a place of helping others know him, it changes our life. Without a purpose, life becomes mundane, all about us, and really empty. Don’t live without purpose. Find yours. Sell out to it!

Passion

Passion drives the purpose. Passion is that thing inside of all of us that says, “You HAVE to do this, it’s part of you.” If you’re living without a passion for a purpose, you aren’t really living at all. You’re walking through life. You don’t have fun, you don’t have joy, and you don’t have Jesus… He’s our ultimate passion.

Poise

In the midst of all the excitement, you need poise. Poise is the thing that says my purpose MUST be fulfilled through my passion, but ultimately I trust God to do it all through me. I’m going to be patient with people because I’ve had people be so patient with me. Sure, you can move and breathe without poise, but you’re just wearing yourself out.

Your turn, what shouldn’t we live with out? (No, it doesn’t have to begin with a ‘p’)

  1. Pursuit- Pursuit of something greater than ourselves. In this case, pursuit of God. (Had to stay with the “P” since I am a “P”astor.

    1. haha… That’s a good one.

  2. How about Preparedness??? Another P.

    1. Like that! Thanks Larry.

  3. The Presence- for from the presence the other three will come and be renewed.

    1. Absolutely. Thanks, Scott.

  4. I would have to suggest an non-P word…Integrity. I think integrity is a required thread that must be present in our lives, running through our purpose, passion, and poise, if we are to have a life of impact.

    Randy Gravitt posted about this today…Intentional Integrity

    1. I agree. We don’t talk about it enough either. Essential to all of us.

  5. Perseverance

    Things will come up to try to take our eyes of the big picture or off of Him.

    We have to persevere.

    1. So true. Great add.

  6. People – without others, you can’t really achieve any of the other P’s.

  7. Posture! haha…Just kidding!

    I totally agree with your 3 points (and points starts with a ‘p’).

    1. Posture. hahaha… classic. Thanks Brandon!

  8. PUMPKIN toss!!!

    1. Hahahaha! Of course!

  9. I’m going to break your crazy P mania and say relationships. We need relationships with other people, with ourselves, with God. We were created for it.

    1. Haha. Great one…. Rebel! :)

  11. I would add personal development, a person who grows is always moving forward.

    1. Absolutely. Good call, Dan!

  12. It’s been a long, busy day and this is a great post with great responses, and since I’ve got nuthin’ I’d just like to add: pizza. I don’t want to live without pizza. Sorry that’s not spiritual! :)

    1. haha… That may be one of the best answers! Good call, Kaythy. Appreciate you stopping by!

  13. I have to break the P pattern and say “Help.” You need people around you who can help you get to where God is calling you to go. No one does it alone.

    1. Amen! Agree 100%.
