Raising an Ace: To Be Purposeful

Posted on by

There is not a greater task in one’s life than living out the purpose outlined for you. With that in mind, here’s our next installment of Raising an Ace where Mariam and I discuss parenting strategies to empower Ace to live out his purpose to the best of his abilities. There’s a lot of content here, and if there’s 1 video to watch in this whole series, it’s this one.

The message is to choose wisely what you do & then live purposefully in doing that. Being intentional and productive with one’s time and in turn life, is what it’s all about. Time and life are the same after-all; when someone wastes time at anything, he or she is wasting life essentially. Having that perspective is powerful. It’s so critical to go hard in what you do, instead of going home so to speak. Because when you finally go home permanently, you best believe you will be thankful you gave everything you could possibly offer to the world. No matter if you are 9 months old, 14 years old, or 75 years old, your time will expire at some point. And when it does, don’t let your purpose still be waiting on you. 

Peace, Love, & Purpose!
