About this ebook
Do the most important things in your life without wasting time doing what everyone else wants you to do!
Imagine you could have a conversation with God. He would tell you why he created you and what he wants you to do next. Wouldn't you want to hear what he has to say?
In Book 1 of the Growing on Purpose series, Financially Faithful, bestselling author Chuck Livermore gave you the formula you need to be a good steward over your finances, in Book 2, he tells you how to manage your time by exploring what God's word says about your purpose, your goals, and how to best accomplish the things you are called to do.
In this book you'll learn:
• How to discover YOUR unique purposes (other Christian books on purpose just tell you what is every Christian's purpose.)
• How God matches your purpose to the people he has placed in your life.
• How six characters in the bible discovered what God wanted them to do and how you can use their lessons to find what God wants you to do.
• The formula for setting goals that practically ensures your success.
• What is the first thing you should do each workday that will make your day go better?
• Why Christians shouldn't be "lone rangers."
• BONUS: Technology tools to help you accomplish your goals

Introduction
Think about your favorite movie. It usually starts out with a guy or a gal just going through life without a care in the world. They are not looking for trouble. They just want to live their ordinary life with nothing that changes their normal, with no upsetting of their apple cart.
However, there is a problem that rips him or her from the ordinary and thrusts them into an extraordinary adventure. It may be the mysterious stranger that shows up at their college with the dreamy blue eyes, or it could be the notorious outlaw that rides into town with his gang of hoodlums. It could be the aliens that attack Earth and threaten the human race, or perhaps an army of Medieval knights laying siege to the castle.
This is the idea behind Joseph Campbell’s book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Campbell describes the hero’s journey as a structure behind practically all entertaining stories. Another element often cited in the formula is that of a mentor who guides or teaches the hero as he faces disappointment or even death from which he emerges victorious.
This book is about one such story. However, in this story the hero is you. You may be very comfortable with your life. You don’t have problems to speak of, not anything beyond the ordinary we all face. Certainly there isn’t anything you can’t handle.
BEWARE! I’m here to upset your apple cart. You have a quest to fulfill. Don’t worry. I’m not going to send you on this quest unprepared. I will guide and teach you so that the day you face your dragon, you’ll be ready.
I’m not sure what form your dragon (your problem) will take. It could be the need for education in a generation of children that are lacking opportunities, and you are the one to teach them. It may be ignorance of the gospel among an unreached people a half a world away, and you are the one God is calling to reach them. It may be a debilitating disease that you will conquer by finding the cure. We all have different dragons, but God may use us to defeat each of them.
Your Unique Purpose
I don't know what your dragon will be. But I do know this, you have a unique purpose to fulfill. You probably have several. Our lives can be filled with great feats of selfless achievements or memories of wasted hours mindlessly watching sit-coms. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to fulfill the will of God on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
God has gifted each of us uniquely. Consider what he says in these verses:
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them (Romans 12:4-6a NKJV).
But to each one of us grace was
