What is your purpose?…

“A person’s sense of resolve or determination.
“there was a new sense of purpose in her step as she set off”

Oxford Dictionary definition.

Today I wanted to share my thoughts on finding your sense of purpose.

Even as I type this im changing my mind. I see it now as “living” my purpose and its not something to be “found”.

Let me explain.

For many years I worked in high end corporate job roles where I was constantly producing, performing and trying to get validation.

I worked in environments that fuelled my need to be needed and also in roles that were very mucn focused on helping others in quite demanding roles.

This led to a false sense of security and ultimately burn out both physically and mentally.

I knew I couldnt maintain this any longer and so embarked on my own journey of healing. With the right support and in a way that worked for me.

I reached out for help to the right people and wasnt afraid to say “I cant do this on my own”

This was 7 years ago now and at times although extremely hard work was by far the best thing I did. To put my recovery first.

Today I am passionate about helping men to step into their own power and be authentic in their own lives.

Today I see my purpose as living authentically with myself and others, whatever that may mean in the moment.

It isnt a goal to be reached or a far off destination, but to be lived on a daily basis and to invite joy into my life wherever possible.

How do you live your best life?

What suppport could you need to do this?

Are you being authentic…?

Blessings.

Wise words

Wise words…

God receives us just as we are.

But we don’t receive ourselves in the same way.

We don’t love ourselves as we are.

Our deepest work is not so much to “improve” ourselves as to realize ourselves, to see ourselves clearly and dearly.

The small self, hearing the words “Be just as you are” immediately takes it as permission to sidestep the spiritual path.

It whispers: Just do what you want!! Don’t worry no effort is needed…

But we arrive at the truly effortless condition only after practice and more practice.

The secret here is that we are not practicing being “better” than we are. We are simply practicing “kindness” toward “who” and “what” we are…
