Finding your Purpose and following your heart is no easy task, and since we can’t all pull an Eat. Pray. Love. and hit the pause button on our lives for a year- how do we figure out what our heart's trying to tell us?
In this episode, I break down the "Hero's Journey" step by step:
1. The call- the yearning we all have to step out and pick our own lane. The call sparks it. The questions start coming:
- “What am I here for?”
- “What am I supposed to do with my life?”
- "Is this it?"
2. Refusal of the call- here’s where the excuses come in.
-“I’m not your hero.”
-“I have nothing to offer.”
-“I can’t do this”
-“Hey God! You misdialed- call someone else.”
3. Like a telemarketer, the call won’t leave you alone.
4. You answer the call but you’re loaded with self-doubt. Yet the overwhelming feeling- that if you don’t do it a little piece of you will shrivel up or die- pushes you forward.
Just by showing up and trying- you are successful.
5. You begin the journey and go past the point of no return.
6. You fight the battles. You will most likely experience the dark knight of the soul which is nasty shit, but you keep moving forward because you know in your gut there's no other option.
7. You lose your fear and you feel invincible- just like you did when you were a kid before everyone put their shitty expectations and constraints on you.
