Nothing Happens Without Purpose

Nia (NEE-ah) is the 5th day of Kwanzaa and it means "purpose."

 

The world is filled with volumes spoken and written about purpose. There are some who believe "everything is for a purpose."  Others ask, "What on earth am I here for?"  No substantive change happens without a purpose.

 

Our purpose may not be carved in stone, but we can focus our thoughts, our words, our actions, and our habits into making a difference every day. 

 

The Essence of Destiny

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they become your character.
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.
