Face the Fear
If you think you have the answers, you stop asking the questions. So it’s a very good thing that you’re asking questions and searching for answers!
It’s a good thing that you don’t know. Not knowing is the beginning of asking.
Do not fret uncertainty, doubt and the unknown. Friend the fear… examine it… take it out to lunch. Explore what it’s trying to tell you. Then send it on its way.
Face the fear and it dissolves like the night at dawn.

Your Purpose is the Horizon Before You… Ever Expanding
Purpose is essential to a well-lived life. Purpose is your reason for being who you are and doing what you do. But relax.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you pursue a life guided by purpose. Just head in the direction of what inspires you.

If you’re feeling agitated and uneasy, that’s a good thing. We’re most inclined to move and change when we’re uncomfortable with what is… and pulled by what isn’t yet.
To change is to be uncomfortable with what is and pulled by what isn’t yet.

A Call from Your Soul
When your soul wants to communicate with you, how does it do that? How can it get your attention, especially in this increasingly attention deficit world where we’re constantly occupied.
Discomfort is one way. If you’re unhappy, depressed or uncomfortable where you are, chances are it’s a tap on the shoulder from your soul.
Finding yourself is a lifelong journey of discovery. The horizon of self is always moving and keeps you engaged in the pursuit. It is evolution by design.

“The journey toward self-discovery is life’s greatest adventure.”
~ Arianna Huffington, Greek-American author, entrepreneur, b.7/15/1950
‘Finding yourself’ is not really how it works. You aren’t a ten-dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. ‘Finding yourself’ is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.
~Emily McDowell, writer, illustrator, speaker, teacher, entrepreneur
Anything and everything you have experienced has been purposeful; it has brought you to where you are now.
~Iyanla Vanzant, speaker, lawyer, spiritual teacher, author, life coach, TV personality
Purpose is usually a ‘why’, not a ‘what’. The ‘why’ is the soul of what you do. To discover your purpose, search for the ‘why’.

Discovering your purpose is the most significant thing you will do in your life, and you, your loved ones, and the world will be better off because you went on this journey.

Inspiration in life is born when we have a purpose.
~Daniel Longwe, author, teacher
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
~The 14th Dalai Lama, author, b.7/6/1935
“If you don’t yet feel connected to your zone of genius… to that which lights you up from the inside out, don’t worry. Discovering your genius is more often a blossoming than a bursting.”
