Why we self sabotage when we’re close to success? On our fourth day discussing your life purpose, we dive into the relationship between contrast and expansion. We discuss why people get in their own way when they feel they have not lived enough contrast to justify their dreams, and ask you the most important question at all: Are you ready to receive?

Hello and welcome back to Unleash Your Peace.

My name is Ali Shoja.

I am your host.

I am a positive mindset coach,

A personal transformation expert,

A deliberate creator,

And I am your peace coach.

I'm your peace trainer here on this podcast.

Now Unleash Your Peace is a super unique podcast.

We pick a different topic every single week to dive into,

And these topics are about the internal world.

Their entire purpose is to help us connect with that non-physical beingness of ourselves so that we can release unwanted pain,

We can find lasting internal peace,

And we can live our best lives yet.

Because when we live from a place of love and connectedness and joy and peace,

We don't just incrementally improve the quality of our lives.

We exponentially innovate every aspect of our experiences on this physical plane.

That is when we become our whole beautiful,

Powerful selves and we become uplifters in our communities and our families and we become a positive force on this planet.

And when we all do this,

We level up as a society,

As a species,

And that is a beautiful thing to witness.

I am seeing it right now happening.

Now this week we are talking about your life's purpose.

What are you here to do?

What is this whole life experience thing about?

It is about expansion.

It's about creation.

It's about inspiration.

And it's about relationships.

So we're here to create,

To be inspired,

And to inspire others.

We do that through going inward,

Through going into ourselves and finding inspiration from within us.

Because as we said,

Your life purpose is actually a moving target.

It's something that keeps growing and expanding with you.

It might be planting a rose garden in your neighborhood today and it might be starting a school tomorrow and it might evolve into running for office five years from now.

It is something that is going to evolve as you evolve and it's going to expand as you expand.

So don't tie yourself to this idea of one life purpose thing.

As long as you're taking inspired action and doing the work that comes from inspiration,

You are serving your life purpose.

By listening to your inner being,

You are contributing to the greater well-being of this planet.

We're all connected here.

We're all part of the same body.

And when we all listen to our inner beings and when we all start taking inspired action and doing the things that inspire and move us into action,

Then we see how interconnected we actually are and how much your inspired action affects me and my inspired action affects you.

And together we'll lift each other up and we bring joy to ourselves,

To the people around us and we allow that to trickle out into the society as a whole.

And that is our purpose.

We're not here to look outside of ourselves and try to find ways to save the world.

We're here to look into ourselves and find ways to become whole.

And a side effect of that,

A byproduct of becoming whole is that inadvertently we save the world.

But saving the world cannot be our goal because that's not what we are here for.

Now last week we talked a lot about contrast and how important it is to helping us figure out what we want to create so that we can actually create it.

Intrinsically,

We understand the importance of contrast in our lives.

That's why people who grow up very privileged,

Kids who grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth,

Who receive everything they want,

Who don't have any needs or wants,

They develop really self-destructive habits like drug use,

Alcohol use,

They get into abusive relationships,

They start shoplifting,

They do really self-destructive things.

Because intuitively,

Intrinsically,

We understand that contrast is a really big part of our expansion and that without contrast we cannot expand.

Now the greater the contrast that we experience,

The greater our expansion is.

And we understand this relationship between contrast and expansion in a very intuitive and intrinsic way.

So this is why sometimes we get in our own way because we feel our vision is too big and we simply have not lived enough contrast to prepare us for this vision.

I know,

It sounds really crazy,

But I see it happening all the time.

You have a really fantastically huge vision of creating a multi-million dollar empire and you're doing really well,

You're on track,

Everything is going really wonderfully.

And then you create for yourself some major setbacks.

Funding falls through,

You partner with somebody who embezzles a bunch of money,

You get in a car accident and can't work for months at a time,

You create some major,

Major contrast.

And that,

In my opinion,

Comes from you not feeling ready.

Things were growing way too fast and you just were not ready for that level of expansion that quickly.

You weren't ready for your dreams because you didn't feel like you had lived enough contrast.

So now you have this new contrast to deal with and it feels like a huge setback.

Now in this episode,

I want to ask you a very important question.

Have you lived enough contrast to justify your vision?

Are you ready to receive everything that you're imagining?

Are you ready and say,

This is mine and gosh darn it,

I have lived enough contrast to justify it,

To claim it,

To make it mine.

Today I will leave you with that.

That's a really huge step forward towards your dreams.

And tomorrow we'll come back and we'll conclude this discussion about your life purpose.

Tomorrow is sadly our last day,

But we will start a whole new theme next week,

Which I'm sure will be another big one.

And until tomorrow,

Check out Peace Unleashed on Instagram.

Com.

Read some of those love notes I write for you,

Share them with your friends,

Share them with anybody who could use some upliftment throughout their day.

And if you want to work with me at any capacity,

Go ahead and visit peaceunleashed.

Com and send me a message through there.

I look forward to hearing from you.

And until tomorrow,

I wish you a peaceful day.
