I speak to a lot of mothers and many of them have this question: “WHAT should I be doing with my life?”, “am I on the right path?”

However the real question is to know WHY?

Your WHY leads you to WHAT you should be doing in your life. When you know your WHY your WHAT has more impact and you will have a sense of purpose.

For example my WHY is to build a community of Super Working Mums who MANAGE their time effectively so they can MANIFEST their God given dreams and MONETISE their gifts.

My current WHAT(s) are write books/blogs, webinar classes, short videos, weekend retreats, one-on-one coaching, group coaching and speaking at events.

My WHATs move me towards my WHY. Do you see the flow?

BUT how do I discover my WHY?

To help you know your WHY you also have to know your WHO.

WHO is the source of your WHY?

Jeremiah 1:5 says

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

When you read this scripture do you think this is for some special people… some special women? Or do you see God talking to you in this verse.

God had a special purpose for every single one of us before we were born and he appointed something unique for you and I to do on earth. We are not just yet to take up space, marry, buy houses, drive nice cars, have children and die.

[Tweet “To help you know your WHY you also have to know your WHO.”]

No! we were born for much more! We were born to bring glory to God through the use of the gifts and dreams He gave us.

If you are struggling with knowing WHAT your special appointment is and WHY you are here, go back to your WHO to show you.

Spend time with Him to hear what He is saying to you. Prayerfully enlist the help of a mentor or coach to guide you. I have helped number of my clients figure out or hone their unique purpose and how they can manifest those dreams God has given them.

What to do while waiting to know your special assignment

While you wait to know what that special appointment is, continue to obey God’s command which is to love HIM with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself.

As you intentionally do this in little ways everyday, God will begin to reveal to you what your special BIGGER assignment is.

So the summary of this blogpost to you today is connect with your WHO so He can tell you your WHY and then you will know WHAT it is you were born to do.

As long as you are alive, it is not too late to live a purposeful life.

A note to the mum who knows her WHY and her WHAT but since becoming a mother postponed all of that till “some day”:

Being a mum and living out your God given assignment is not mutually exclusive. You can live an extraordinary life as you raise up your children in the Lord today.

You are setting a good example to your children that they can achieve their dreams even when they become parents.

You can never be too married, too single, too much of a parent, too young, too old, too whatever to do what you were born to do.

Our days are numbered on this earth so let’s stop wasting time.
