This is actually amazing. A few days ago I was really contemplating life. I was really sad and just lost and felt like I had no purpose. I was outside walking and looked up at the sky and I just pleaded to god, do I have a purpose? What is my purpose? Why am I so sad? I got home, and the video was in my recommended bar. So naturally, I click it and I'm there listening to the whole thing, interested. The thing that really stuck out to me the most was when he said that when friends or family, or someone calls you and tell you they miss you, or they're thinking about you (or something like that). That is God talking through those people, telling you he's there. I opened up my mind to that. I fell asleep.... The next morning I get a text from an old colleague of mine that had REALLY helped me in the past... someone who I hadn't talked to in years. She texts me asking me how it is..... And that she was thinking about me. This is right after, the next morning, I watched this video. That was an amazing moment. Thank you god, I will live my purpose, the reason why you've put me on this earth. Also, thank you to anyone who read through this entire paragraph. Thanks for listening :)

John Maxwell is one of my favorite preacher, especially now that I'm on medical leave. I recently suffered a brain aneurism that put me in a coma for 4 weeks. When I regained consciousness, I was told that I said about my wife of 17 years, "I'm not sure who she is, but I think I like her a lot." (And I don't remember saying this!) Search "Charles Frank Kurtz" on KZbin to hear my story. Then spread word that miracles STILL happen! For me to be able to say that might not sound like much, but to my wife and 2 kids it's pretty miraculous that I'm still alive to say that!!!

I understand what you're talking about regarding those unfortunate experiences.... I got HIV a few years ago and I first thought that my life was over, then I got the help from God to overcome depression and started a new life, then I met my partner for life, which is my wife who had also gottenHIV and so we decided we would start off our journey togethe to live the rest of our lives helping youngsters on how to make good decisions in their lives... now we don't believed our God caused our disease, but it was a natural consequence of our actions, yet He took those awful and unspeakably disastrous circumstances and turned into something remarkably beautiful!!

He verified in another way what the Lord has been saying to me this past week: "You need to erase yourself (past, ethnicity, locations, life experiences....) in order for me to reveal your Purpose." Goes along with "He who protects / saves his life on earth will lose it forever." John helped me understand why I personally don't have a dream (for myself); it goes along with the gift the Holy Spirit gave to me: Encouragement. I don't have a dream because my Purpose is to encourage others in THEIR dream. And being behind the scenes is 200% okay with me!!!

I write this for those who are viewing this video, who may be passionate in something that people say they are not good at. "you can be passionate about something you'r not very good in it" Even the most talented, most passionate and most gifted person needs nurturing. Not everyone is born in a family with equal opportunity like others. There are people who have to give up their own education, the opportunity to be trained in what they are truly passionate about for the sake of the well-being and education of their other siblings. Without proper guidance it's not easy to be successful in the things that you are passionate about. There are some people who are born with parents who can provide for them properly financially emotionally life guidance. If you are born in this kind of family then just be thankful, don't worry about others those who are not good at what they are passionate about. You could perform much worse if you have to wear the shoes they have to wear since young (which they do not have a choice who they are born to)
