My Purpose
“I know I am on this earth for a reason. Show me what my purpose is and I will do it”
I used to sit in my car and say this myself over and over again
I was working a job I disliked
I was never living in the present moment
I felt like conversations were heavy and I always needed to be on the defensive
And it took me a year if not more to realize that asking myself this question wasn’t going to change anything
because I wasn’t actually ready to do something about it
I just wanted to know the answer and then decide if I wanted to do it
It wasn’t until I made changes in my personal life and work situation that something felt different
The needle was slowly moving but my mindset was still meh
But I was determined to start doing things for myself
To stop compromising
To stop waiting for others
So I went on my first solo trip to Paris to celebrate my birthday
and at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica I saw a painting of Jesus
and as I stood there (hungover) looking at it I said “okay. I am ready. I will do it”
For context, I am not a religious person, but there is something about this trip and this particular painting that flipped a switch
a few months after this trip I found myself reading my first personal development book
and shortly after bought a mindset course
and then things spiralled from there into creating my business to fulfill my purpose
I can’t quite pinpoint the AHA moment
I just took steps that felt good for my soul despite how terrified I was
There was no way I could have known what would come next
If I hadn’t just started taking action
I finally stopped feeling there was a purpose for me on this earth that I needed to find - I found it
