The Courage to Follow Your Highest Path and Purpose: Part 3

Part 3: Express Your Divine Self

When you listened to the whisper of your soul, when you connected with your divine self from the exercise from the last post – what images do you see? What nudges did you get? What answer did you get in response to your life question? What synchronicities did you experience? Whom did you meet and what information did they have for you? What book or information found its way to you?

The Courage to Follow Your Highest Path and Purpose: Part 2

Your soul incarnates here with the intention of learning through life lessons and evolving through following the path of your life purpose. In your journey through life, your higher self (your soul, your divine self) guides you with the wisdom, love and patience through your intuition.

In business and in life, it is so important to trust your intuition. People and media try to influence us all the time on what to eat, wear, what to do for a living, how to make money and what to think. We have information (and advertising) overload. Now, you do a good job navigating this chaos, but overwhelm often results. And before the overwhelm hits, it’s best to already be using your intuition to navigate.

I also tended to think that my life purpose, because it was a “thing” that I had to “DO”, was a job or career. Nope.

Because life purpose was such a baffling thing to me, I studied it intensely and found it extremely compelling. I found out everything I could – read every book on it (including lots of career books), went to all kinds of websites, did all the tests, took the courses, and did all the journaling assignments. You name it, I did it.

What I found was at the end of it all was the realization that life purpose was NOT something I had to DO as a job! Major relief there, let me tell you! Because I was not very much closer on that facet of it at that point.

So, if life purpose is not a job, what is it?

Life purpose is a couple of things. The first thing is… READ MORE
