Pursuing Your Divine Purpose

In this session we discuss how the discovery and pursuit of your divine purpose is an ongoing and ever evolving process, one that will require you to back yourself. You will need to have the self belief and conviction to repeatedly do what is necessary. This track is taken from my course, 'Discover Your Divine Purpose', available now via my profile.

Transcript

Hello and welcome to the session.

I invite you to take a seat or lay down and if you wish to gently close down the eyes and take three deep and slow breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth and as you're taking those deep slow breaths just gently scan your body for any points of tension and invite your body to release,

To let go and just settle in to that comfortable position,

Release any tension you might have in your forehead,

Unclench your jaw and your shoulders,

Loosen up your belly and your back and release any tension you're holding in your groin or your buttocks and your legs and just invite your whole body to sit calmly,

To rest in a relaxed state take another deep slow breath in through the nose and out through the mouth and from that place of calm relaxation begin to open yourself up to this session's question we're going to approach this question with openness from a place of flexibility and possibility we're going to tap into the wisdom of the energy that guides us be it from our ancestors,

Our intuition,

God,

The universe,

The muse,

Divine energy from wherever we draw our strength and wisdom and inspiration from we're welcoming in and we're opening ourselves up in a moment I'm going to ask you a question twice and then we're just going to sit in contemplation of that question,

Allowing it to unfold in our minds and observing that unfolding as if we were watching cars down a freeway,

Not grasping,

Not holding on,

Not judging,

Just allowing it to unfold before our eyes,

So take another deep slow breath and consider what it would mean to back yourself 100% in the pursuit of your divine purpose what would it mean to back yourself 100% in the pursuit of your divine purpose this idea of backing ourselves 100% in the pursuit of our divine purpose opens us up to possibility and our greatest potential in life,

The discovery,

The pursuit,

And the execution of our divine purpose is our highest calling,

Now the questions we've been contemplating in this course will all point us in that direction I like to envision people initially at least being somewhat lost somewhat unsure of where they're supposed to be heading or what they're supposed to be doing but then they discover or they hear or they feel a slight calling,

A tug,

A direction and they start moving in that direction,

The forest starts opening up,

They start to see the way and they realize that they've discovered a bearing and from that discovery it's their job to continue heading down that path towards their true north,

Towards a distant mountaintop that they can only just start seeing in the distance,

It's there,

Once they discover that mountain is there they have that direction to follow,

So the questions in this course will have started to open you up to that divine purpose,

Your truth,

The calling,

And my hope is that it will have helped you to start listening to that deeper part of you,

The part that's silently screaming to be heard,

That's pulling you,

That's guiding you,

That wants you to pursue something beyond what you're currently doing but if we return to the question of today's session,

What would it mean to back yourself 100% in the pursuit of your divine purpose,

You start to realize the commitment that we're putting ourselves towards,

Once I know what my divine purpose is,

Once I've got a calling,

What my divine purpose is,

Once I've got a calling,

Once my heart has opened up,

I now feel compelled to persist I start to struggle to accept what I once accepted in my life,

To do what I once did just to survive to another day,

To do again the things necessary to survive another day,

If I was to back myself 100% in the pursuit of my divine purpose,

I've got to prune a lot of things out of my life,

Things that don't matter,

Potentially people that don't align with what I'm doing,

That don't understand,

Whose actions and words have the potential to pull me back down into a state of lower existence,

It means I need to start backing myself 100% trusting my intuition,

Doing the things that might seem counterproductive to other people in my life,

To the world in general,

Things that aren't you know quote unquote normal,

To doing things that align with that calling that will help me down the path,

You know if you return to our analogy of the person wandering that's lost,

But then they discover a distant mountaintop,

Maybe they need to take a moment to build a compass,

Or to build a raft,

Or to you know step up onto a higher ledge,

To look over the ground,

To see the best path forward,

Because perhaps there's a built and established path that might initially take you a little bit further from that mountain,

But because the road is easier to walk,

You'll get there quicker,

Or perhaps you realize that no roads exist,

And you need to build your own road,

You need to start chopping down the forest,

And moving down and moving through over the obstacles that come in your way,

To build that path towards your mountaintop,

Or maybe you'll realize that the mountain that you've been heading towards isn't your true calling,

It was one that was instilled upon you by someone else,

So the better approach is to stop walking in the wrong direction,

To turn around,

And to look backwards,

To look sidewards,

To look upwards,

And to see different possibilities,

Maybe your purpose right now is to discover your purpose,

And I'll suggest that we're all discovering things along the way,

Maybe you need to work on your mind frame,

To be able to stand firm,

To learn to say no,

To learn to build better habits,

To overcome things,

To learn to take steps forward in a direction that you want to be headed,

For you,

To fulfill your purpose,

Whatever that means,

If I was to back myself 100% in my purpose,

I know that there really isn't any guidelines that I can follow,

People will have done similar things,

And will be doing similar things,

You might resonate with what I'm doing,

But ultimately,

You need to discover your purpose,

And head in that direction,

And that means that for some things at least,

There will be a sense of loneliness,

Or going it alone,

So therefore I need to strengthen myself,

I need to become resolute in that fact,

That I'm going somewhere no one has gone before,

And that's okay,

I need to believe,

I need to have the strength of will,

The power within,

That drive,

That fire,

To take those steps forward,

I need to sit with that possibility,

I need to daily meditate on,

To stoke that fire,

To grow that fire,

To power myself,

I need to keep looking at that distant mountaintop and believing,

I need to move,

I need to act,

I need to do,

Despite the barriers that come,

It heartens me to know that the lights are never always green,

There are roadblocks that everyone faces,

You know,

Everyone has their cross to bear,

If you look at every successful person,

Look into their lives,

I guarantee you,

You will discover roadblocks,

It's very easy to look at the success of other people and go,

Huh,

They just made it there,

It was destined to be,

But if you look into what their life actually looked like,

The things that they faced,

You will see that they too faced barriers,

And blocks,

And obstacles that they had to overcome,

There is not one successful person that didn't have a reason to stop,

But they found a workaround,

And you can too,

You are capable,

If you don't believe you are capable,

Your first step is to work out how to instill that belief that you are capable,

Do the self work,

Read,

Meditate,

Educate,

Exercise,

Become the person that you need to become,

To fulfill your divine purpose,

It is possible,

The resources are more available now than ever before,

But I suppose so are the distractions,

To become a person that can focus,

Hyper focus on what they want,

And then,

And only then,

Will you be able to back yourself 100% in the pursuit of your divine purpose,

So I ask you once more,

What would it mean if you were to back yourself 100% in your divine purpose,

Well done,

This brings us to the end of the session,

And also to the end of this course,

Or to ask a question,

And before moving on to something else,

I invite you to take a moment to click through,

And share your insights,

Read the answers from other students,

And to hear my replies,

Remember to start your responses with session 10,

Or to restate the question,

So we all know what you're referring to,

This is an opportunity for deep learning,

Further introspection and insight,

So please don't miss out,

And since this is the last session,

I'd like to remind you that you're welcome to come back to this course at any time,

To repeat these questions,

To consider the possibilities,

To introspect,

And to be open to that wisdom,

Because with each step you take,

You become a different person,

And the answers to those questions will help guide that new person onwards and forwards,

So take action,

But then come back to this course,

Repeat the questions,

Repeat your answers,

See the responses from other people from that new place,

And re-listen to what I've responded to as well,
