Finding Your Way
I've been catching the bus a lot. My heart has been breaking at the pain of the kids swearing, vaping and bullying themselves and each other, and I was brain and heart-storming how to help. I went down a rabbit hole of wondering how I could become more confident. I had a vision of myself addressing them all in a rousing speech (Coach Carter style). They’d throw their vapes away, I’d teach them an inspirational dance routine and we’d all put all that angst and destructive energy into a showcase to raise money for our community.
Instead, God corrected my thinking. The inadequacy that’s been a companion, guide, teacher (and pain in the ass) in this lifetime loved the idea that I needed more confidence, new ideas and skills, because it could validate the story, I’m not good enough to help as I am, and I could lessen my commitment to the work I’m already doing.
Bigness knows, I am already enough. My Bigness - life purpose - is to guide on a bigger scale through my work with this blog, Mad House and public speaking. I’ve been equipped and training for this for lifetimes. I don't need to go outside what I already know and expend energy correcting every wayward teen I come into contact with. They’re on their journey. Like I did, they'll come around when they're ready. In the interim, the interactions I do have are respectful and positive.
Your Soul assignment is unique. There's a specific way you are designed to help. Even if your mind is trying to convince you to act a certain way, can you feel into what Life is asking of you? What’s important to you? What aligns with your unique strengths and abilities? What are your gifts? (Knowing and exploring my Gene keys - and observing myself over years - has been super helpful for this.) Don’t worry about what you think you should do, channel as much energy into your way of service as you can into it. Focused, aligned action is power-full.
Sincerity plus discernment = success. Knowing what you’re here to do means rather than expending energy where it’s not met, you’re effective in helping others and the world. You’re already good enough, stop trying to talk yourself out of it. This is a prayer I said this morning. God, direct my focus. Where will my work be of the most service today? Turn my heart and hand and mind toward what is good for this world, and all that live upon it.
