How do you know you’re living in alignment with your highest calling? What does it feel like to wake up every morning to a life devoted to your Highest Best? What would it look like to abide in a reality that nourishes all the unique parts of YOU? One that celebrates, awakens + cultivates your God-given gifts and brings forth your True Self to make a positive difference in the world?
For most of my life, I obsessed over this. I made a million lists, tried every free test I could find on the internet that promised to reveal my unique “calling.” I prayed and cried and stressed to high hell to find that one magical path that seemed to always allude me.
But it felt like I just kept missing it.
Like it was always right beyond my reach…behind some mystical curtain only more fortunate “enlightened” women could have access to.
Till I discovered, that curtain was an illusion of my own fear-filled making.
I had busied my life with endless to-dos that weren’t serving my higher purpose. I was stuck in harmful cycles and cheap coping habits that too often left me fried, confused and sometimes even hating parts of myself deep down.
Until I decided I was READY to change. With trembling hands and a desperate heart I had to let go of all that was no longer serving me. I had to stare into my own reflection and learn to love her, deep in my bones. I had to acknowledge my role in her suffering and forgive myself for the pain I had caused. I had to do the hard work of reprogramming old generational patterns that were deeply engrained from childhood. I had to wrestle with addiction and for me, that meant kissing alcohol goodbye. I had to become friends with my fear and help the fear itself find its rightful place within me, as a companion, instead of a Master.
With the New Year almost here, maybe you find yourself in a similar place. And I have Good News. It’s never too late to begin again. If there’s breath in your lungs, you still have the power to BECOME something new.
