F.I.T FOR PURPOSE

What does the word ‘FIT’ mean to you? Does it naturally strike a nerve or has it become an everyday word that it doesn’t make sense anymore? Has it become a ‘cliché’ since fitness is the new rave in town?

Oxford dictionary describes the three letter word as something ‘of a suitable quality, standard or type to meet the required purpose’. To be fit for purpose, we must embrace intentional living. When we choose to live intentionally, we determine our outcomes through our actions.

To live intentionally is to live by design. The process of becoming or being fit for purpose is not a static one. To be fit means to put something into a better state than it formerly was, to improve the condition of a subject.

FIT is an acronym that embodies what the word means to me. To be FIT for purpose, you must go through a continuous process of Fine-tuning, Immersing, and Transforming.

FINE-TUNING – To fine-tune means to make small adjustments to something in order to achieve the desired best performance. Make necessary adjustments in order to meet the standard required for a purpose. To fine-tune also means to adjust, modify, tweak, perfect, hone, polish up, or make improvements.

IMMERSING – To ‘immerse’ means to be deeply involved in a particular activity. When you are deeply involved in a process that prepares you for your life’s purpose, your entire being is taken over. You become consumed by the realization of a new and finer phase of who you are. Getting immersed in a process that refines you and brings out the better version of who you are makes you become fit to carry out your assignment and deliver on our life’s purpose.

TRANSFORMING – To ‘transform’ means to shed off the old and allow the new to manifest. Transformation is a change process that involves either a gradual or a radical change in a person.

Every next level requires a better prepared person. As purpose evolves, the individual’s assigned to it must step up to the task by engaging in regular process of fitness. Every assignment is a divine calling and purpose that requires a fit person to properly deliver.
