Ever invested everything you have into something, only for it to suddenly come to a close?
A relationship, a business, a field of work...
Have you considered the possibility that you've filled your circle of karma in that layer of your purpose?
As you navigate life you will experience layer after layer of purpose, each one getting closer to your deepest purpose.
The outer purposes are often inherited from your parents, your upbringing, or childhood experiences.
Perhaps your father was a doctor, so you wanted to be a doctor. Or in reaction to him you decided to become an engineer.
You will pursue this cause until you fulfil your karma in that layer of your purpose, before the next layer presents itself.
If your deepest purpose is to empower others as a teacher or leader, before you dedicate yourself to this you will work your way through the concentric circles of opportunities, partners, successes and failures - providing you with the tools and experiences to embody that deepest purpose.
Should you find yourself in a state where "things should be going better...".
Consider that if they were to be any better, you would deviate and drift away from your deepest purpose that awaits you.
This one mental model alone claws me through failure, forcing me to look for the lessons and "breadcrumbs" that pull me in the right direction.
In this week’s issue of my newsletter threemail., I explore this idea further alongside The Butterfly Effect, Positioning, and the Reticular Activating System.
