How do you know what you are meant to do?
Let me tell you, my story. My family wanted to see me achieve so choosing to become a lawyer at 18 without much exploration pleased everyone around me, including myself. I was lucky to find a great job as a tax lawyer during college, a job that I held for quite some time. That is when my questions started ‘is this how I am supposed to live my life’? Is this all there is?
All I wanted was to ‘escape’ my job, be free, be creative, do something that had meaning. I quit my job.
I studied acting only to find that the profession I loved came with a lot of limitations too. I quit acting. I started a puppet show business which filled my soul, but my revenue was not near what I wanted.
If only I happened to stumble upon that perfect match between who I was and the profession I was meant to do, all will come naturally. Everything would flow, and the ups and downs would just feel like part of life and not a struggle.
'Mastery is not what you do that matters, nor how you do it. Mastery is about knowing who you truly are and how you express who you really are in whatever you choose to do.’ - Bruce Schneider
What I found out was that my purpose was not something to look for in the outside world.
What I truly loved to do was there all this time in all the professions I chose, even in my first one as a lawyer. It wasn’t until I raised my consciousness and I accepted myself enough and understood how much I was at choice in my own life, that it became clear how my purpose was not something in the outside world waiting to be discovered by me but something to became conscious about.
Allow me to lead you back to your authentic self where you discover your choices, and your life purpose becomes clear to you.
