Karen's Weekly Words of Wisdom: The Triple-P Effect

Focusing on your passion may help lead to your purpose and ultimately, prosperity

“Passion,” “Purpose” and “Prosperity” are terms we have heard quite a bit this past year.

And when something resonates with you each time you hear it, use it to fuel your personal agenda.

Here's an example on how you view each of those words next time you hear them:

Passion- It is the love you hold for something that doesn't whither with time. It intensifies with every step you take and every task that you complete.

Purpose- It is the "greater why" regarding what you are meant to do. Everyone has a task to start and/or complete in this life, and knowing what it entails will fuel your passion.

Prosperity- Most individuals think that prosperity is relative to monetary gain. Unfortunately for some, they miss the big picture, because prosperity can be realized in the form of health, security, family and even happiness. 

This is a time to reflect on your passions, because what makes you passionate may reveal or confirm your purpose in this season. Once you follow your purpose, you will prosper as a result!
