Anyone with a desire for greatness must step into purpose before anything else.

This is because greatness is a journey, not a destination.

No one becomes great all of a sudden. People grow into greatness.

To grow into a thing means there’s an element of that thing in you right from the beginning.

Therefore, for you to step into greatness, there’s a need to begin the process, which is stepping into purpose.

A purpose discovered is a future detected, and a future pursued is greatness achieved.

Purpose is the foundation of any form of greatness.

Until you find purpose, you cannot locate your future, and as a result, greatness becomes a daydream.

HOW TO STEP INTO PURPOSE

1. Decide to be different.

Men of purpose are often perceived to be different in their own ways.

Others find it difficult to understand them and this is because they choose to lead life purposely.

They seldom go around town. They’re men of purpose, on a mission.

Sometimes, this set of people lose friends at the onset of their decision to step into purpose because they know they’ll gain more friends at the end.

These purpose chasing men recognize they may lose their crown if they follow the crowd, so they choose a solitary life at the inception of their pursuit of purpose.

2. Embrace discipline.

You can’t step into purpose or pursue purpose without applying the law of discipline into your life.

It takes great discipline to follow through with your decision step into and pursue purpose.

This is because there are things you’ll have to let go, in other to truly fulfil your purpose.

Things to let go include:

• Pleasure
• Comfort
• Entertainment
• Associations, etc.

There’s no greatness without a price.

There’s always a price to be paid for anything of value.

A life of purpose and greatness will demand so much from you and you have to be ready to give it all it takes in other to get there.

3. Be focused

Focus is the master key to fulfilling purpose.

You must be willing to give it all your attention and time, or it will not produce the desired results.

If it will pay you, you must pay the price of focus.

No one achieves anything worthwhile without focus. It is your focus that makes you a focus.

The world only focuses on those who focus on their purpose.

The journey to the land of greatness is run by the vehicle of purpose and the fuel of focus.

4. Have purpose partners

The determination to step into and pursue purpose requires that you walk with people who are travelling in your direction.

You know that iron sharpens iron and men of like minds walk together.

Even though you must stay away from the crowd in other to keep your crown, you must find your real purpose partners with which to take the journey of greatness together.

HOW TO KNOW PURPOSE PARTNERS

• They help you discover more of yourself.
• They help you see the path to your future better.
• They are never envious of your success as they’re also busy producing results.
• Purpose partners aid your journey so much that you all are likely to arrive sooner than expected.
• They don’t abandon their partners in difficult times.

Look out for these traits in others who surround you at the moment, and you’ll know if indeed you have purpose partners or not.
