Introduction:
Embarking on a transformative journey often starts with a single, profound goal. As I reflect on the past year, the one accomplishment I envision being most proud of a year from now is finding my life’s purpose. It feels like the key that unlocks the doors to a better version of myself, a better role as a mom and wife, and a more impactful existence in the world.
Chapter One: Defining the End of the Chapter:
If the stuck place in life were a chapter in a book, the desired ending would echo with a profound sense of resolution. It’s a chapter that concludes with calm after the storm, shedding off dread and fear that once lingered. Returning the baggage to sender and stepping into the light of love and purpose, I move freely, feeling a joy that remains untouchable. The sun on my skin symbolizes a rebirth, a moment where I embrace my power, beauty, and potential, smiling not just for myself but for all my ancestors before me. One day, I wake up and truly see myselfβa moment of self-realization, acknowledging the love within, capable of achieving all that I once feared.
Chapter Two: Self-Reflection as a Giant Observer:
Watching myself as if I were a giant observing the actions of little me reveals a pattern when feeling stuck or powerless. The tendency to withdraw, becoming introspective and distant, creates a shield against the outer world. In seeking distractions, I fill my mind with numbing content, a temporary escape from the pain. Social media and entertainment become a spiral leading to a sense of hopelessness. Dissociation sets in, accepting things as they are while harboring resentment and anger for what could or should be. The inner child surfaces, expressing frustration through screams and tantrums.
Chapter Three: Unveiling the Journey:
The journey from feeling stuck to finding purpose is multifaceted. It involves breaking free from the chains of introspection, embracing vulnerability, and navigating the complexities of inner turmoil. The key lies in reconnecting with the inner child, acknowledging its pain, and guiding it towards healing.
Conclusion:
As this chapter unfolds, the narrative transforms from one of stagnation to a tale of resilience, self-discovery, and empowerment. The journey towards finding purpose becomes a beacon, guiding not only me but also those who resonate with the struggle. The story evolves into a testament that, no matter the challenges faced, the pursuit of purpose is a worthy endeavorβone that can lead to profound transformations and a life lived authentically.
In sharing this journey, I hope to inspire others to embark on their path of self-discovery, to face the stuck points, and to find the purpose that brings light to their unique narrative.
