Finishing the Definition

When I bought this domain name, truebluetitan.com, I was searching for a word or series of words that would describe my purpose in life. A littler deeper than the usual domain search, I know. The combining definitions of the phrase “true blue” and the word “titan” seemed to fit perfectly – “one of prodigious size, strength, and achievement with inflexible faith and integrity”. My north star was born, and from it, a rather clear perspective on what life was about.

One of prodigious size, strength, and achievement with inflexible faith and integrity for the Glory of God.

Five years have quickly gone by since the creation of my north star. Since then, I kept finding myself looking at the words, re-evaluating them, and at the same time, myself. Something was missing. Sure, the word encompasses everything that I want to be in this world, but it doesn’t say why. I’ve felt this way for a long time, and my usual inner-voice response was “because it’s the right thing to do”, but that answer only pacifies me temporarily.

Well, I’m proud to say that, after a lot of soul-searching, I now understand why I feel this way about myself and life. My north star is God, who sent His only son to this earth to die for us. This is why I need to be the best man I can be – for Him. Now, the definition is finished. Everything I do is “for the Glory of God”.
