Full circles from purpose

Last week I delivered my first in person event of the year and let me tell you it was every bit as fulfilling as I could have imagined - and remembered from my previous event I hosted last year.

Hosting my event got me thinking about full circles, cycles and alignment as ultimately that is what my life as been. I would never be able to do that I do now without having gone through all the hardships I faced in my life and, all of the healing I have exposed myself to over the years. I say exposed because most people turn a blind eye to healing, they avoid anything that forces them to change and break out of what they know as normal not realising that is creating a false sense of safety and mundanity that ultimately leaves you feeling stuck - yes its that keeping you stuck! You are supposed to evolve and grow just like nature. If a tree refused to grow it would never bare fruit, you are exactly the same, the safety you have created in your life in preventing you from reaching your full potential. Your full bloom.

I am sure I have touched on this many a times in my other blogs and socials but, you are your purpose. Who you are on the inside not your label; not the label of mum, wife, dancer, accountant, etc. That isn’t who you are that is what you do. For me I know I am a passionate, creative person that adores connecting with others and learning. That is an example of part of who I truly am. Other components that make up purpose are what are you good at? And what do you enjoy doing? I can see that through every stage of my life, to some extent, I have lived in my purpose, because this is the other thing, your purpose evolves as you do. I loved dance throughout my teens and 20’s therefore pursing my dance career was me living in purpose. Until, the pandemic hit and I had to ask myself do I still enjoy this? Is this what I want to keep doing? And the answer was no. - At that moment I could have identified as being stuck or lost as I didn’t know what I was going to do next but instead, I decided to turn inward and focus on building the things I know I am good at and also what I enjoyed doing, that was teaching, connecting with others, and speaking thus my purpose evolved.

Now I have made that sound really simple and in a way it kind of has been, but honestly during that pandemic shift my main focus was healing, being in my purpose wasn’t my priority and thats another important thing I have learnt, when we force anything one it ends up taking longer, but two it taints the outcome. The feminine energy is the being the masculine is the doing. You will purpose from the combination of the two energies, but I recommend being first, getting still tuning in, from that space of inner knowing then do, explore and act.

If you are someone on the search for purpose my advice is to enjoy the process! Try new things, invest time and energy into the things you are good at and what you enjoy doing and before you know it you’ll be living in it.

Living in purpose is what you came here to do and when you choose to live in your purpose you give yourself the permission to shine and when you allow yourself to shine you inspire the whole world around you.

I had a beautiful example of this just a few days ago. I was teaching in a school and was offered lunch so into the canteen I went. One of the dinner ladies looked familiar, but I had worked at that school exactly a year ago. As I went up to get my lunch she said to me ‘I know you’, I responded with the fact I was there a year ago and then she said ‘no, I was on a train with my husband last year and you were on your way to deliver a talk. My husband always speaks about that experience and how you had such focus and determination. He’ll be impressed I’ve seen you again!’. I couldn’t believe it, especially the day before I hosted my next event.

Everywhere you go you leave an impact.

You do not only yourself a favour when you follow your joy and purpose, but everyone you come into contact with. You living in purpose and shining your light creates a ripple effect that expands further than you could ever imagine.

I know you may feel stuck right now but as I said, focus on that you are good at, what you enjoy doing and who you truly are and before you know it you’ll be free to live fully.
