Have you been feeling lost lately? Like you’ve lost you’ve lost your purpose or your passion?
Maybe you look back on your life, and you’ve accomplished quite a bit, and now you’re going, “what’s next?”
Feeling like you should be further ahead in life?
Or maybe feeling that there is more to life than what you’re currently experiencing.
First of all, know that you are not alone. I have conversations every day with people who are feeling this way. Often people reach a certain age and can feel like maybe it’s too late to have a new dream, and that they have to settle for mediocrity now.
That’s just not the case.
If you are breathing, you are meant to be growing and expanding; you have dreams inside of you.
I have a very special masterclass happening this week. If you’re feeling lost, feeling like you’re in limbo, feeling like I don’t know what’s next for me, make sure you get registered for that masterclass, it’s really going to help you get that clarity.
Today, I want to offer you two things to pay attention to, to really help you get clear about what’s next for you.
Often, people reach a certain age and can feel like maybe it's too late to have a new dream, and that they have to settle for mediocrity now. That's just not the case! If you are breathing, you are meant to be growing and expanding; you have dreams inside of you!
In the Talmud it says that every blade of grass has an angel leaning over it, whispering Grow, Grow, Grow. If we look to nature, nature is always trying to be a bigger expression of itself.
And you, right here, right now, have that same life force pressing through you. It’s asking you to grow. It’s asking you to be more, do more, have more. To express life at a greater level! But it doesn’t whisper to us “Grow, Grow, Grow,” instead, it shows up in two powerful ways.
The first way is in our longings.
Think about something that really just sparks your interest. Maybe there’s a destination you’ve always wanted to travel to. Maybe you’ve always had this idea that you would learn a foreign language, or you’ve always wanted to write a book. There’s something stirring in your soul that just lights you up. Sometimes those are big ideas, big dreams, other times they’re just soft signals. You’re scrolling through social media and you see a friend doing something, or you see a preview for a movie, and there’s just an “ooh! That interests me!”
So often we have these little ideas or things that interest us, but very quickly, we go, “I don’t have the time for that. THEY can do that, but I can’t do that. When would I do that?” and we don’t even entertain the idea.
As you start to pay attention to life’s soft signals and the longings, what lights you up? What have you always wanted to do? My husband loves guitars, music, and all the gear, and there’s two guitar shops in the United States that he always thought, “I would love to go to visit them, try the different guitars, and hang out there,” It was something inside of that idea that just lit him up. I don’t have that same desire, but I have different things that I’m excited about, and that one day I would love to try!
Pay attention to those longings.

The other way life is asking you to grow right now, it’s showing itself to you, is in our discontents. It’s in our problems. It’s in our challenges. And again, we so often look at those challenges and those discontents call those problems and we call those bad, and we don’t want to deal with them. When all along those challenges showed up as a signal that it’s time to grow.
It’s time to change, it’s time to ask for more. It’s time to solve that problem for the purpose of your growth.
Look for the areas of your life where you’re having that discontent. Maybe you are dreading your job right now, and you know that you’re not happy, but you think, this is just how it has to be. And so you settle. Maybe there’s other areas in your life where you just like, feel this heaviness, and you’re not happy. But instead of really honouring and leaning into that, and looking at that as a signal to grow, again we settle. We just say, oh this is the way life is. This is what it feels like to age, this is what it feels like to be at this stage of my life.
We are not meant to settle for mediocrity.
Pay attention to life’s signals. How is life trying to get your attention? Through your longings and your discontents.
If you’re stuck, if you’re feeling in limbo, if you don’t know what your next step is, what your vision is, those are two powerful clues if we’re willing to listen.
I’ve got a whole series of things that you can do to really get clear on your next step to ignite that passion, so that you are living a purposeful life. I will be giving those to you for free on the masterclass this week. Make sure you get registered for that!
We will get you reignited with your passion so that you are living a life on purpose.
Pay attention to those longings and discontents, you are not meant to settle for mediocrity.
Here is to you living a life you love,
