From Vision to Purpose: Overcoming Overthinking to Build with Intention

Have you noticed how debilitating overthinking can be in our lives at times? It creeps in quietly, paralyzing our ability to move forward, to make decisions, or to even dream freely. We spend so much time measuring our lives in calendar years—12 neat little months, January to December. But what if we shifted our perspective? What if, instead of seeing time as months on a grid, we saw it as seasons? Quarters we could design intentionally, with purpose and focus.

Overthinking often creeps in when we lack focus. When our minds scatter in every direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. The remedy? You HAVE to find a focus. Most especially if you are a multi hyphenate. Anchor yourself in something clear and intentional.

For me, this year, that focus is my YouTube channel. I’m not just focusing on creating content—I’m building something. A space where faith, storytelling, and purpose intersect. My vision? To scale my channel, to create content that resonates deeply, and to reach the milestone of monetization. But it’s not just about numbers or metrics; it’s about impact.

This year I decided to be intentional so I started by writing down what I wanted: What do I want my channel to look like by the end of this year? What kind of community do I want to build? What stories do I want to tell?

And then, I brought it before God. I asked Him to revise it, refine it, and align it with His will. Because a vision in alignment with God isn’t just a dream—it’s a purpose.

Seasons change, focus evolves, and visions grow. But with clarity, intention, and alignment, every season can become something meaningful.

What season are you designing right now?

How to Fulfill Purpose in Life

                                   

The ability or potential of truly fulfilling one’s purpose in life is beyond physical efforts and can only be successfully achieved with the help of the Holy Spirit; this is as a result of the constant battle with the flesh in this realm.

From God’s word through the 43rd chapter, vs. 7 of prophet’s Isaiah, we get to understand that God created us all to bring Glory to him, this is obviously a spiritual assignment and clearly explains why this cannot be achieved by physical strength just like I stated in the previous paragraph.

Another point can be found in Prophet Zechariah’s book chapter 4:6b; where God said: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit (the Holy Spirit), says the Lord God of host.

God is spirit and whoever must serve him must do so in Spirit and in truth.

But then, in addition to the Holy Spirit’s assistance to help us live a fulfilled life (a life that brings glory to God), we have some physical roles to play on our own part.

Here are some of those:

Ask God for the Manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

This is the first and the most important of all; it’s true that we receive the Holy Spirit the moment we confess Christ and maintain a righteous life, but having a car that is dormant is as good as having none, so you must genuinely yearn and ask God in prayer for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s gift and fruits in your life; this way, every other requirement becomes very easy to practice.

Intentionality.

Now, the goal is to live a life that brings glory to God, right? You have to be intentional about it, by consciously incorporating this resolve into all aspects of your life, from basic life choices like thoughts, dress styles, manner of approach, actions we take on a daily basis, and choice of company, to secondary life choices and beyond, like life career, profession, spouse, source of livelihood, etc.

Total Surrender to God’s will.

You are no longer in charge here, because if you are; it’s the flesh at work. But when God is, it is the Holy Spirit at work, whatsoever he says; you do, hereby bringing glory to him.

Patience.

Learn to trust the process, God knows just what he is doing; it might seem too slow a journey for you but, God’s got you.

Invest your Talent into the kingdom’s Business.

God created each and every human with a talent/ potential, yours could be singing, playing a musical instrument, playing football, or whatever you can name, we all have one; mine is writing and here’s what I’m using it to do, to bring glory to God, whatever it is that you have passion in doing; I mean whatever, please do it to bring glory to God, do it to draw souls to God’s kingdom.

Remember the parable of the three servants in the bible (Mathew 25:24-30), the servants were handed coins to take care of, two of the servants invested theirs and made extra coins in addition to the ones they were given earlier, while one dug a hole and buried his (in other words, did not invest his), the latter part of this parable revealed how the first two were handsomely appreciated and rewarded unlike the latter, who was severely punished.

There is another vital point in the parable; the faithful servants used the coins they were given in honor of their master and not for their own selfish interests.

Faith in God.

Like I said, God’s got you; rely solely on him and do so unwaveringly.

Here’s a personal tip on three will question I ask myself prior engaging in anything:

Will it please God?

Will it help someone?

Will I be happy doing it?

So far, the above will questions have greatly influenced my general life’s decision making positively, and I’m sure they’ll do same for you.

While applying the above key points, it’s also important to take note of some possible threats to watch out for that might stand as a hindrance to fulfilling our purposes; I call them “The Purpose Fighters”, of which it is the devil, our adversary, who is the mastermind behind all of it.

Sin Generally.

All forms of sin as listed out in various parts of the bible can stand as a huge hindrance to fulfilling our purpose on earth, sin is not of God, hence one can never fulfill his or her purpose (Living a life that brings glory to God), while living in sin.

Impatience.

Impatience makes one see how slowly a thing is going, instead of actually seeing the positive impact of that very thing.

Lust of/for money.

This has driven many astray, the path of righteousness is a narrow and crooked way, it is not always rosy, but the world looks so flashy, the devil then presents diverse easy avenues (that doesn’t give glory to God) of generating extravagant wealth that always end in sorrow unless divinely intervened by God.

Remember, money is the root of all evil.

Greed.

There’s a popular saying: “The more money you have, the more money you want”, greed follows closely behind lust of money, and at this point, the money sub consciously becomes an idol to its victim.

Lust of the Eye.

Literally, everywhere we look these days are filled with pornographic materials, which ends up feeding the hearts of those that are caught in its webs with thoughts that in no way bring glory to God.

The eye is the gate to the heart, and the word of God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence because out of it comes the issues of life.

Lust of the Flesh.

This mostly follows after the lust of the eye, fornication and adultery have become the order of the day and the lust of the eye hugely contributes to this.

Conclusion: Be alert, be vigilant, your enemy the devil, roams about like a roaring lion, looking for whom to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)

How to achieve Equality? How to work for Peace?

Recently I met again with a dear friend I had not long seen, also due to the pandemic situation.

When I first got to know him he was still employed in an international and highly respected Swiss corporation as an engineer. And he was brilliant. So much so, that the somewhat more senior persons in his department blocked him in his professional development. Where was equality?

He then took a very bold decision, decided to build his own company and to develop the solution he had so long dreamt to bring to life with his employer.

Today, his organization employs more than 100 persons worldwide, counts customers on all continents and is highly profitable.

Defining Equality as a value and a target to be achieved within a firm is a starting point only. Equality must be lived by each team member in the Heart.

Equality is only reached when both female and male principles are equal in a person’s Heart and Body. And this path starts with the Self. Knowing Oneself. Knowing who we are truly are as Human Being. Knowing what it actually means to be a Human Being. Knowing where we come from. Knowing our Purpose and Be our Purpose. For the good of Oneself, our Community and Earth.

The prerequisite for Peace is Equality. Without Equality, no Peace. Each one of us can contribute to both. NOW.

This knowledge is revealed through experiencing, learning with our Body and Intuitive Mind. This is what we teach at Athena InsideOut Education.

Embrace Your Dreams: Are You Living for Your Own Dreams or Someone Else’s?

Recently, I came across an intriguing piece of news from Japan, where scientists have invented MRI equipment capable of recording people’s dreams while they sleep and displaying them on a screen like a movie. While I’m not sure about the full accuracy of this technology, it sparked an important thought in me. I’ve always believed in dreams, not just the ones we have at night but the bigger…

The whole "breasts shouldn't be politicized because the primary purpose of breasts is to feed babies!" can be a fine jumping-off point, but I really wish people thought deeper than that when we talk about the ways in which bodies are politicized and restricted.

Like, why's it that when we talk about breasts, they must have some Higher Purpose? It's true that breasts aren't inherently sexual, but they aren't valuable solely because they can potentially feed a baby. A human body doesn't have to serve a Higher Purpose in order for it to not be legislated against or policed, and I just wish people would remember it isn't always about babies, about other people, about anything else other than the people who have that body.
