So purpose, purpose is such a word and I think this thing in this concept that people oftentimes try to find like, what is my God given purpose? What is, what is my purpose for this? What is my purpose for life? What is my purpose? Purpose, purpose, purpose, right? And recently I was having a conversation when I was at lunch with some people and I just simply said that your purpose is not necessarily your job.It's what you're doing within the job that your purpose comes out. And so today I want to talk about pursuing purpose and how your purpose is not always what your job is or defined as a role. So let's jump right into. This week's episode of the Canaan Studios podcast, where we're digging into pursuing purpose.So purpose, what is purpose? Um, I feel like it's this thing that at least for me, I feel like purpose is attached to my gift and what it is that God has. Created me for so I'm literally going to read the dictionary's definition of what purpose is. So purpose is as a noun, the reason for which something is done or created.Or created or for which something exists. And if you use purpose as a verb, the definition is have as one's intention or objective. So purpose, I think that we overcomplicate what purpose is, right? The whole purpose of this podcast is to equip people that are experts in their field, whether it's successful business owners or successful business leaders, equip them and give them tools and advice.So the. They can become content creators and hopefully become podcasters. That is the entire purpose of this podcast. Right. Um, and to share the journey of, um, your journey to success, right. And what that looks like. So that is the true purpose of this podcast. The purpose of Canon studios is to help those with a voice, help those with a voice. So I like to work with, um, successful business owners and successful. Um, successful business leaders, um, that are experts in their field. So they have a voice that needs to be shared with somebody else. And somebody else is looking for that voice. So I help create that through podcasts, through video content.That's what we do here at Canaan studios. That is the purpose of Canaan studios. And so when I. Think what is the like going deeper? What is the purpose of my life? I think the purpose of my life is that God has created me in such a unique way. I think everyone is made uniquely. Um, but I only know myself the best.And so, um, outside of God, God knows me better than I know myself. I'm the person that knows myself better than anybody else outside of outside of God. But, um, I think my purpose for life is. I have a gift for, um, taking a little bit of nothing or maybe an idea and, and, and creating a plan around that, and then actually executing on that plan.That is what I think my purpose is, is to, um, It's to do that is to make your vision come to life, whatever that looks like. Um, and I'm doing that and I'm able to execute on that purpose here at Canyon Studios through creating that content. So that is what I feel. And that is what I know to be my purpose.Because when I look back on things that I've done throughout my 15 years in production, there's always been something where there's an idea that's had. By someone else or even myself, and we're able to execute on it. And so that is what I truly believe my purpose is. But I think oftentimes that we think our job is our purpose, and that's not always necessarily true.And I was actually talking to, I believe, Elizabeth Peace. Um, she was on an episode on last season. So go back and listen to that. Um, and she owns a company called The Intentionals, an intentional legacy. Right. And so. She was saying that if we are able to differentiate and separate the two, then I think there would be a lot more clarity in people's lives.So when we separate our purpose from our job and just say, and just view our job as a way to, to survive in a way to get the things that we want. Um, then I think that there will be so much more clarity and there would be less sadness and anxiousness around everything around just life in general. If we don't necessarily say our purpose is this job.And I think that we should also separate those two because we start to walk in the danger zone, danger zone, because what happens if, um, you lose that job? Or what happens if you are, um, now needing to pursue a different job? Is your purpose now gone? It's not right. So your purpose cannot be so attached to a job, um, that you lose sight of who God has created you to be.Um, and so. So, I think that, um, we say pursuing purpose, but the word pursue, um, is an interesting word and I think that who pursues us the most or the person that is constantly pursuing us is Jesus, right? And so, When I say pursuing purpose, I'm saying that I'm actually like living in purpose. So not necessarily pursuing purpose, living in purpose, living on purpose, um, living through my purpose, living with purpose.Um, and ...
