The document discusses how purpose precedes and gives meaning to marriage, career, and ministry. It argues that fulfilling one's God-given purpose through the right platforms is key. Examples are given of biblical figures like Peter, Elisha, and Joseph who found fulfillment by discerning their purpose and aligning their platforms accordingly. The speaker outlines factors to consider when choosing a career path, emphasizing personal discovery of one's dreams, gifts, passions, and personality rather than simply pursuing jobs or transitioning frequently. Fulfilling purpose through the platforms of marriage, career, and ministry is presented as the path to real living.

25. The most profound strategy to building a career
is the STRATEGY OF PERSONAL
DISCOVERY. The greatest discovery in life is
not the discovery of our environment, not the
discovery of the devil but the discovery of ‘self’.
All around the globe, the most profound success
stories are individuals who made their career
choice based on personal discovery. Examples:
Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Cosmas
Madukka, Oprah Winfrey, Andrew Carnegie,
Colonel Sanders and several others.
