1 - Everyone Is Special
If Everyone Is Special, Then No One Is Special
Not true!
If we were all called to do the same thing, at the same time, some would do it better than others. Some wouldn’t be able to do it at all. But we’re not. We’re all drawn to our individual purpose that we have been called to fulfil. We each possess a special light that is pulling us to our destiny. We need to tune in to a different frequency and follow the direction. That’s why “one size fits all” doesn’t work.
It’s nice to read or watch what works for someone else. But that is your jumping-off point. It isn’t your path. You must find your own.
The passion put out into the world by some people is so contagious! We want that! Honestly, they want us to have it as well. They want us to share in their joy and excitement. I found my passion! So can you! Just follow in my footsteps!
But my path is not yours, and yours is not mine.
You didn’t want to hear that, did you? You want someone else to put in the work, then tell you what to do. That would be easier. Less time consuming. You don’t have the time to invest. You’re busy. What’s it going to take? A month? A year? Who has that time?
I have some bad news and some bad news. First, it’s going to take you putting in the effort yourself. Second, it’s going to take your lifetime. Your entire life. If you’re young, it will take your whole life. If you’re old, it will take until you die. There is no destination and there is no, “I finally made it.”
The path to finding and fulfilling your purpose truly is a journey.
There are small victories along the way. Places you can stop and look back, see all the progress you have made. That can be rewarding and hopefully it’s enough to boost you forward.
There will also be times of great distress. Have I really wasted an entire year doing nothing or going the wrong direction? Perhaps. That’s ok. Get back on the path.
I’m not here to tell you what to do or give you a to-do list. I’m here to encourage you to get out there and draw your own map, forge your own path.
Put one foot in front of the other.
Move.
Your best life is waiting!
