You may already be feeling this resonating within your intuition as truth within you, but sometimes accepting it is the biggest problem and the biggest barrier. You might be thinking, "OK...I don't disagree with this, but now what?" before coming up with twenty billion excuses as to why you can't get started on your life's purpose...or to begin to know what what your life's purpose even is.
Let's back up and just go back to the question of "Now what?"
Now work on accepting it. Tell yourself, "OK. For just this moment, I'm not going to make excuses. I might do that later and I'll just notice it's happening, but for one full minute, I'm just going to say "Yes, this is the truth" and leave it at that."
One minute. Or one second. However long you feel can hold onto that feeling of just letting it sit there and be accepted. That's actually harder than it sounds.
It's going to be rather awkward and uncomfortable, just to warn ya. That's normal. Keep going. Whenever you think of it, just repeat the practice.
That is the first step to getting started on living in line with your life's purpose. After it clicks into place, stuff will start happening in your life that will align you with actually getting into a position of action. It may be dramatic and terrible like a divorce or a job loss, or it might be something really tiny like just being asked by a friend to help set up a donation barrel for a food drive.
But trust me, once you understand and start living in line with your life's purpose, the scariness of the changes will be in hindsight trifling compared to the relief you feel and the success you'll have. It will be like bursting out of the water and taking a huge lungful of air after you were certain you were going to drown.
For now, all you have to do is say, "Yes."
