Am I running?

Life is a race. Not a race to the death, or a race to see who can be the most successful the fastest. Each individual person's life is their race.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1
We were each designed with a purpose. Our lives have a purpose. My life has a purpose. Your life has a purpose. And my purpose is not necessarily the same as yours. Some people were designed to reach people for Christ in foreign countries, some people were designed to be witnesses for Christ's love in a business office, but each of us has our own purpose. And as in a race, we are to focus all our energy and strength into fulfilling that purpose that we were made for.
What's your purpose? And what is keeping you from running full strength to fulfill that purpose every single day of your life?
