This isn't another piece of being single, or not being single.

Getting married, or not getting married, but rather what our purpose is.

What do we want out of this life, and where is that going to get us?

For many the goal and the destination is marriage.

The family, the husband, the kids, raising a family and creating a life, or the work atmosphere, a busy schedule, and endless travel.

But these are just two combinations, two extremes.

What about all the in-betweens?

Wanting to be married, but wanting a career?

Desiring kids, but not being able to have them?

Having a family, and then wanting to go back to school?

The list goes on.

But what is the ultimate goal, the destination?

Is it a man, a child, or a career?

Because what if those don't happen right away? What if they don't come about the way we thought they would, or would have hoped? What if one happens, and the other doesn't? If that is our one and only goal in life, doesn't that seem a bit limited?

Our goals should never have a destination, but rather always be explored and continue moving forward.

A mom is not just a mom, she is a caregiver, a cook, cleaner, encourager, support system, teacher, transportation, and life giver.

But her list doesn't have to stop there.

Yes, she is a mom, but she is so much more than that, and she has goals and ambitions for her life too.

The single man is not lonely, a workaholic, or even a womanizer, he can make an amazing friend, a supportive uncle or co-worker, he is helpful and capable. This is a person who could possibly be a father, or not be a father, start a family, or not start a family.

But no matter the family dynamic, our goals remain, though they may change, they are still goals nevertheless.

What matters is that we don't limit ourselves, or allow others to do so.

Maybe you became a mom or dad and didn't want to, well your life isn't over.

It's different, and maybe some goals are too, but the destination is still there.

Maybe you're single, with a college degree, but all you want is to be married and start a family.

It could happen, or maybe you'll not only have a family and a spouse but have the chance to serve and care for far more than just the family you envisioned in your head.

Don't settle for having a destination that is only being a spouse, only having a family, only being single, or only working and being career oriented.

Because you have SO much to offer.

Be it all if you can, strive for what you want, be open to change and possible disappointment, but never limit yourself.

There is more than one destination.
