I always thought that what I was good at was my life purpose. However after carefully making thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches the universe did not open up for me to open a sandwich shop. So I must be a failure.
I must not know who I am, and certainty should collapse back into the existential dread of the safe path of a 9-5 job.
The brain seeks the safety of certainty, and will choose death by 1000 cuts (or days in a job you hate, but are good at) instead of the uncertainty of change.
Here is a little splash of what I’ve learned in this journey.
You must be willing to disappoint the expectations of the people that love you. They want what “is best” but because they love you (typically with some conditions) they want what might be safe.
Who you are and what your purpose is ARE 2 different worlds.
I was absolutely trash at speaking but was a skilled practitioner in my practice. Yet being in practice felt like a prison. So i leaned into that voice that said “do different”
The resistance you experience isn’t your intuition telling you stop, it’s your nervous system experiencing change.
You can find your why in your who. When I made space for me, it made it so much easier for my purpose to come through me.
Your life is your responsibility, grab it by the horns and enjoy the ride, giving yourself grace and ease.
