Life's Purpose

Yesterday, I met with Ernest. We discussed a bit about some activities that I can include in the program, but our side conversation proved more interesting. He asked these questions:

1. What is your life’s purpose?
2.  What difficulties do you face getting there?
3.  What are 10 things you want to... 

                    - Have?
                    - Be?
                    - Achieve?
                    - Impact?

Needless to say this gave me a lot to think about. In fact I am still working on understanding it all for myself.  This is a true lesson in personal development . 

These are some good questions not only for my personal development, but also for the youth to address and understand themselves as well. As we discussed more about getting the U.S. youth to interact with Kenyan youth we also engaged the idea of adding a bit of this personal development to the curriculum. Curriculum development is scheduled for the coming week, so we will see what we can do to fit it into the cultural adaption section or maybe carve out some additional space in the curriculum.

Ask yourself the same questions. What do you come up with?
