Why I Am: Discovering Why and for What Purpose I Am

Fred Vander Ploeg

Ask a hundred people what their purpose in life is. Nearly all of them will give stock answers. Most will say who cares? doubting the question's importance. They think knowing their life's purpose doesn't matter. Instead, life just happens as a happy or unhappy accident. Others admit the question's significance but never thought deeply about their purpose. They may have some vague sense but are just not sure at all of the answer. A few, though, will respond with the great question who gets to decide? One thing's sure: if you don't decide your purpose, others will decide for you, at your peril. To discover your purpose, read how others discovered their purpose. Read of their challenges, obstacles, revelations, and miracles. Explore and discover your purpose.
