John 15: 12-13
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Living a purposeful life is simple. Love God and Love Others. These two principles guide me in every decision and action I take.
I have a unique reason for being here on this earth. And I was knit together for a purpose that is greater than myself. God has blessed and equipped me with incredible talents and gifts meant to serve others.
As I embrace my purpose and serve His kingdom, something magical happens. Lokahi, a sense of unity and connectedness, is revealed and fortified. And the best part is that my calling builds others up to discover their unique purpose.
Winning means constant growth and improvement. Jesus came to this earth with a mission – to show us how to live a life free from sin and to sacrifice himself for us. We are made in His image; likewise, we all have a unique calling that can change the trajectory of humankind.
My ultimate goal is to live a purposeful life, uplift others and becoming the best version of myself. When I do this, people will witness firsthand Jesus’s immense love for them. And in turn, they will be motivated to uncover and follow their own God-given calling.

Romans 12: 4-5
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
