The Fragrance of Purpose

Have you ever met this guy who is not exactly “handsome” but somehow people just get attracted to him? You find yourself going

“there’s just a way that he carries himself that I like but can’t place a finger on it”

It’s the fragrance of a man on the journey of purpose. Imagine when he finally finds it!

For ladies, has a guy ever told you “there’s just something about you”? I know that’s the common pick up line so shine your eye!

If he is sincere and you know you’ve been working on yourself — you know he’s smelling purpose. Sometimes you even ask yourself what he is seeing in you.

What I’ve noticed ?

A man will pursue a virtuous woman — a woman who has discovered what she was born to do, whether she is in “kaba”, make-up, “two-rope slippers” or not.

A woman will fall for a man walking in purpose whether he has tattered shoes or no job (although finding purpose will reduce the chance of that).

That’s the fragrance of purpose

A friend of mine called me that a man had met her on the road and instantly proposed marriage to her- he swore she had something he had never seen — Yes, a cliché pick up line but I know her and she is really exceptional and so he was right. He didn’t know what attracted him to her. I know she’s reading this post so she will tell me the end of the story.

A person walking in purpose is attractive!

Everything about them has an extra secret spice. Their voice, their “walket” the way they do their things. What I’ve realized is that purpose rubs off on your self-esteem. What I’ve learned again, people see what you feel inside — fear, self-esteem, confidence.

People know someone who knows what they want and they follow someone who knows where they’re going and especially why!

So yeah, purpose has a fragrance!

And here’s another thing — you start to smell it first! Think of one moment in time when you felt like you were doing what you were called to do. How’d you feel? I felt proud when someone told me one of my articles really touched them!

This may sound unreal that there is a fragrance until you meet people who are actually walking in purpose and destiny like Sherri L Lewis and you would know what I’m talking about.

So remember, purpose is a journey and yes, it starts with a question —

For what reason was I put on this Earth?

I hope this causes you to take the first step into purpose and destiny, into an attractive fragrance.

I hope this has made a difference to you..

I wish you would say something in the comments below or at least clap for me!.
