Have you lost your aim?

We need to be "on purpose people". You can be extremely gifted and talented but if you're not disciplined on how you spend your time then you will never reach your full potential

If we are going to reach our full potential ... If we are going to become ALL that we were created to be, then we must live extremely focused. You have to know what your purpose is, what you want to accomplish, and what relationships you want to build. You have to have a plan and then be disciplined enough to stick with that plan.

You can’t get entangled and distracted by the other things that would come along and try to pull you off course. There will be many good things we can get involved with, but we have to ask ourselves – Is this a part of my plan? Is this furthering me toward my God given destiny? Or is this a distraction that will end up wasting my time? We need to live accurate lives.

We need to be "on purpose people". You can be extremely gifted and talented but if you’re not disciplined on how you spend your time then you will never reach your full potential.
