Have you ever set goals that were never met? Have you struggled to achieve success at a particular task because the need was too great? Have you experienced disappointment in your own experience or with other people because you or them could not hold up the bargain?  

These are questions to contemplate as we look deeply into the dangers of unmatched expectations. 

Finding and walking in purpose is a real existential struggle. A struggle that folks serious about life are willing to contend with and for. In that case let us look and the dangers of purpose and to purpose in order to help us to walk in purpose, aware of the pit falls .

Three points to consider on the dangers of purpose: 
1. Purpose Distraction 
2. Purpose Distortion 
3. Purpose Destruction 

Ask the question: ‘A weh mi deh ya fa?” Find it! Walk in it!

There is a fragility to life and life is subject to decay. Who you see today may not be hear tomorrow and the fate of man is bent on sorrow. 

As the Psalmist puts it - 

15The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.

Life too is a crucible, and events unfold the destructions in life. Like a circus has the game called ‘plate spinning’. Where the actor spins ceramic plates on sticks hoping that none falls, but they eventually fall. So is life like the game of spinning plates. Like the plates we fall and are  broken. 
 
This calls us to take a least on life event when we are young. It calls us then to number our days and apply our lives to wisdom. For while we cannot avoid the inevitable we can still secure the ultimate.

"In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garmernt of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. can never be what ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until am what ought to be... This is the inter-related structure of reality" 
- MLKJ 

On a daily, what items we use; the toothpaste, the water, the soap, the rag, the vehicle we drive or take, the work have and give, food we cook or buy and the list goes on of items we use is a snapshot of how interrelated and interdependent we are. We are created to relate and content and to depend and strive together with companionship. The substruct of humanity depend on the contribution of a male and female fro the creation and reproduction of life. Likewise, our ultimate existence depended of One who by meaning dwell as God in three person's. The length to which we are interdependent is more vast that the effort we make to become independent. Hence, as a basic conduct may we strive to embrace one another in honor of our dependency on each other.

Faith has been critiqued strongly in the 21st century to the extent that it is undermined and frowned upon. However, faith gives a unique meaning and perspective to life and for which faith creates a dynamic interrelation between living and understanding life. An absence of faith actually suggest a bland and boring life. Faith works life the eyes for the way we cannot see and helps us navigate life with its uncertainties. Faith seeks understanding and grants us a resolve. This episode articulates the necessity and benefit of faith. 

Learning a valuable lesson from an old man we met in the woods. This lesson showed us that it is not just youth and poise that takes us through a smooth journey. But it is age and know how that gets us their safely and smartly.
