The Path to Finding Your Purpose

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi

This week, we’re diving into a popular and important topic, “Finding Your Purpose!”

My journey to finding purpose began with a stark realization: I wasn’t living as my authentic self. I felt constrained by disempowering beliefs and fear-based thinking that had accumulated over the years, creating invisible barriers to abundance and love’s presence in my life.

The turning point came when I started paying close attention to myself – my thoughts, emotions, and reactions. It was like holding up a mirror to my inner world. I noticed patterns of self-doubt and limitation that didn’t align with who I truly wanted to be.

One pivotal moment stands out. I was faced with a decision that would significantly impact my career and financial situation. The ‘safe’ choice was clear, but it didn’t resonate with my heart. As I grappled with this decision, I realized how much fear was driving my choices.

I decided to challenge these fears. I asked myself, ‘What would I do if I weren’t afraid?’ This simple question opened up a world of possibilities I had been blind to before. I chose the road less traveled and that was one of my first steps towards removing the blocks to my purpose and love’s presence in my life.

From that point on, I committed to a practice of self-reflection and gradual release. Each time I encountered a limiting belief, I would examine it closely. Where did it come from? Was it truly mine, or something I had adopted from society or others? Did it serve my highest good, or simply feed into my fears and those of the collective?

This process wasn’t always easy. There were times when letting go of a long-held belief felt like losing a part of myself. But with each release, I felt lighter, more aligned with my true self. I was dismantling the walls I had built around my heart and the presence of Source (God) in my life, allowing love and trust to flow more freely into and through me.

Over time, I discovered that my purpose wasn’t something I needed to find externally. It was already within me, obscured by layers of societal expectations and self-imposed limitations. As I peeled away these layers, I uncovered a deep sense of purpose rooted in authenticity and self-expression.

Today, I believe that our ultimate purpose is to feel safe in expressing our authentic selves. It’s about shedding the programs and beliefs that keep us from our true path. This journey has taught me that finding purpose isn’t a destination – it’s an ongoing process of aligning with our authentic selves and allowing that authenticity to guide our actions in the world.

(re)Parenting ourselves allows us to remove the blocks to love’s presence and is a crucial step on our journey to finding our purpose.

Here are some practices that have helped me and may support you on your path to finding your true purpose and mission.

STEPS TO CONNECT TO YOUR PURPOSE

1. Practice self-reflection: Set aside time each day to check in with yourself. What fears or limiting beliefs are you holding onto? Where do you feel resistance or contraction in your body or your life?
2. Challenge your inner critic: When you notice self-critical thoughts, pause and ask, "Is this really true? Is this thought serving my highest good?" Replace judgmental self-talk with words of compassion and encouragement.
3. Embrace vulnerability: Take small steps to open up and be authentic, even when it feels scary. Share your true thoughts and feelings with trusted friends or in a journal.

Remember, this is a process. Be patient and gentle with yourself as you navigate this journey of unlearning, growth and moving outside your comfort zone!
