Find Your Purpose - Self Discovery and Awareness - Very Important Journey
How has purpose changed for you over time? What fulfillment looks different now? What wisdom comes with experience?
I believe the first thing that we need to do in our life is to find our purpose. This is a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness. We have all been through different challenges in our lives, and sometimes those experiences may have stunted our internal growth.
As an adult survivor of child/sexual abuse, my past definitely overflowed into adulthood causing many dysfunctional responses to different situations. The key to change is stepping back, reflecting and doing the work. Take the self-awareness journey and see where you got derailed in life, and what steps you need to take to get back on track.
A shift in our thought process and behaviors come from validating what you have been through, acknowledging your struggles, and work towards healing. The more that you know and understand about yourself, the better you can help yourself. It is hard work, but the most important work that you will do in your lifetime.
Stepping forward with a new mindset and clear lenses opens us up to new adventures as we can finally step into our purpose. That clarity with shift you towards what your true passions are. It is like the curtains have been pulled back and there you are center stage. In that moment, grasp onto that purpose and run with it.
The fulfillment in life changes as we grow, evolve and step into our “true self”. I can speak for myself in saying, that because of the continual work that I did to overcome a horrible past, my purpose has become quite clear in the work that I do as an author, child and mental health advocate and public speaker.
The fulfillment at this time in my life is about helping other people, and sharing my experiences for purpose, awareness and education. I have gained a strong voice, and that fulfills my soul.
The more that we grow and change, we gather knowledge and wisdom. Those are the beautiful gifts that we are given through every life lesson. As we accept each victory one by one, those are the important steppingstones towards a bright future.
We step into our greatness with grace, style and wisdom. One thing that we should never forget is that, once we get there remain humble and kind. Use your wisdom to help other people gain the courage and confidence to step onto that stage and learn how to shine bright.
Life is a journey, and the more knowledge that we have, the better we can serve our purpose.
My motto has always been “Embrace the Journey”
