Purpose is the most valuable idea on earth,
because everything would lose it’s meaning if you take purpose out of it

Most
times people will slide into depression, leading to vices that could hinder the
duration of their radiation or terminate its outburst completely. Over 300
million people around the world battle depression. Every 100 minutes a teenager
takes his/her own life. Depression is very common during the teenage years,
affecting about 20% of adolescents by the time they reach adulthood.
In
Nigeria chronic depression affects one in every five adults. The fact that you
are alive shows that a purpose has been attached to your life. What better than
to find ways to nurture it.
When
asked in an interview; Bilal Salau (Co
Founder Way Media House, Founder Sparkinspire and Lead Mentor at Purpose
Connect) stated why an individual should consider
attending the mentoring sessions at Purpose Connect, an initiative he lunched
in May 2017, which continues to thrive till present day.
Purpose Connect is not just a come to
place, it’s not a come and just collaborate with people place or come and hear Bilal
speak place, I promise you’d be stunned and wowed. Oh no! Purpose Connect is
not an inspirational event, although every session in a pool of inspiration for
the mentees.
Purpose
Connect is a place of discovery and activation. The benefits of just a single
session is so valuable that sometimes all it takes is one attendance. I have
seen young people show up casual and when the session is over, believe me, you
would see it in their eyes, this people are different, suddenly every thing
average about them is changing. I am amazed at how the mind works sometimes, in
one second you are one person and in the next second you are totally
transformed. You could attend Purpose Connect and you’d be amazed 1 week later
at how just one meeting could change your life.
Bilal
went on to make some real claims that he backs up with his over 4 years’
experience as an impact focused leader.
A platform like Purpose Connect is
focused on helping young people find clarity for life. It is a place of digging,
where you invest time learning about all the super power inside of you. In the
last 2years, Purpose Connect has become more like a community of people who
believe that somewhere inside of them is something that is far greater and they
just come to find the tools to unleash it and the more you discover, the more
you can go farther and keep digging to find the genius in you. It is a
mentoring place that even the atmosphere would enable you to discover the magic
you carry.
Persis
Julius, one of the team members of Sparkinspire and Purpose Connect says; before
encountering Purpose Connect, I used to be afraid to share what I could do. However,
I was fully aware that I could be more than I was. But as a mentee who has been
attending Purpose Connect mentoring session for more than a year; Purpose
Connect has streamlined me to be focused and not be restricted by anything, to
be fearless. One thing I have learnt is the “You are gon’na die count down” Knowing
that there is a countdown for my life motivates me to be useful to the world
around me before it elapses. No one lives for ever and we only get one chance.
In
conclusion, Bilal says that; Purpose Connect should be attended by only people
who believe that they can do more. Attending should be inspired by believing
that there is a purpose and a meaning to life; if so, then this place is built
for you.
