It all begins with GodThis section of the chapter reiterates that the search for the purpose of life was a futile attempt that has baffled people because they generally start from the wrong place (themselves), they do wrong questions. The book tells us that God directs the lives of his creatures and that everyone's life is in his power and that you can become what God created you to be by focusing on what matters most. As stated in this chapter, there are two ways to discover the purpose for which you were created: 1. Through speculation (guessing, philosophy) and 2. Through revelation (simply asking God), also there are three insights into your purpose: In discovering your identity and purpose through a relationship with God, ii. Choosing your career, your spouse, your hobbies, but you failed to choose your purpose and iii. Your life purpose fits into a much larger cosmic purpose designed for eternity.

God has not left any detail of your life to chance, he has planned everything for his purpose and nothing in your life is arbitrary (chance) everything has a purpose and we know this because in the book it shows that God chose our race and also the our color. It also elaborates on why God created us, which is love and He didn't need to create us but He wanted to create us to express His love for us. What drives your life?
