Your soul always knows your purpose.
Even if you're feeling directionless or doubt yourself or you've lost confidence,
your soul absolutely still knows why you're here.
Whether you feel very connected to your purpose or completely out of touch with it,
it's important to understand how your purpose contributes to your healing.
We all want to have a purpose.
If we have a purpose, it makes us feel good.
it gives us a warm fuzzy feeling inside that we're being productive and we're contributing
absolutely but some of us have a purpose and we fall out of love with it we don't fall in love
with it we fall out of love with it and then we doubt it's even our purpose anymore we think well
this can't be what i'm supposed to do i'm miserable i don't want to do this job i don't want to do
this charity. I don't want to do this project. This can't be my purpose because I've fallen out
of love with it. I don't want to be in this relationship anymore because I've fallen out
of love with the person. So maybe my purpose isn't supposed to be with this relationship.
But that's just getting disconnected. That's getting disconnected because it's possible.
That's your purpose still is with these different things. And we just get disconnected along the way
because we fall in love.
We fall in love with our purpose at first
and we fall out of love.
And many of us don't even know what our purpose is at all
on any level and we have one but still don't realize it.
So many people wake up every morning
and do their job and do their work
and take care of their grandchildren
and take care of their kids and go to work
and they're at the office
or they're a cashier at a grocery store
or they're doing some kind of job or project
and they don't even think it's their purpose.
It happens a lot.
So either way, we have to get in touch with all of this.
We have to look at the word purpose itself, because purpose is an interesting word.
One way of figuring this out is to know what the word means.
We really do. We have to figure out what the word means.
When I was young and I was at a garage sale,
when I was a kid and I was just looking around through all these little trinkets and different things,
there was a woman next to me and she was looking at something and I heard her say,
hmm, I think this will serve a purpose. And I was like, purpose? There's that word purpose.
And then on the other side of me, there was a guy and he said, can I have that box over there?
I need it. I need it for this purpose over here. And I was like, purpose. So there's a box and
it's serving a purpose. I asked spirit, what does this mean? Spirit said, well, the word isn't really
what it means. The word is kind of a weak word, you know, like, well, it serves a purpose.
You know, you know that kind of phrase, but it means more than that. Spirit told me it means
more than that. It means who do you work for? That's what it means. Who do you work for?
I scratched my head and I said to Spirit, well, you know, I work for you.
and spirit said no you don't work for me you work for god you know you work for the holy source
you work for the higher source and i was like ah so what does purpose mean spirit said purpose
means you work for god you wake up in the morning and you have to say you work for god you work for
the higher source or you work for the universe or you work for the angels or you work for the light
or you work for the great divine.
You're not working for your boss.
Sure, you're working for your boss
and you're working for your paycheck
and you're working for, you know, your friendships
and you're working for everything that you're building.
Sure, but you have to know who you're really working for
because when you know who you're really working for,
the rest comes together.
You don't lose sight.
You don't become blind to your purpose.
You don't fall out of love with your purpose.
Because you know who you're working for.
And when you're working for God, and you know you are, you wake up in the morning,
and the first thing you say is, I work for God.
I work for God.
Or I work for the higher source.
Whatever you're comfortable with, too.
Or I work for the universe.
But you have to know who you're working for.
And when you do, it all comes together.
and the word purpose isn't weak anymore because it becomes your gift.
That's right, your gift.
You know you have a gift.
What's your gift?
Because your gift is there.
It's there supporting your purpose, whatever that may be, whatever you're doing.
Your gift, your cause, the cause of your gift, the cause of your purpose,
all of that put together, the word becomes bigger.
It's not just a purpose.
It's bigger than that.
And Spirit told me this word can get really big and powerful and strong.
When you know who you're working for, the word becomes so strong and so profound and so powerful.
It's not just a box on the floor anymore.
It's not just a box on the floor wondering if it's serving a purpose or not.
You don't want to just serve a purpose.
You want more than that.
you want more than that i know you do and you deserve more than that you deserve
knowing what your gift is using your gift you've used it before let's go on a gift hunt
if you don't know what your gift is we'll have to go on a gift hunt okay a little exercise you
could do this exercise when you're not with me but we're going to do it together now so i'm going to
give you a shovel i got a shovel we're going to go hunting we're actually going to dig and we're
going to look for something. So let's take a walk out into a field. Do you see the field we're
heading into? It's a beautiful field. Wildflowers. I can smell the wildflowers. Can you? Right? You
feel the wind blowing in your hair and on your face? Feels good. It's warm. It's 70s. It's the
70s. It's not hot out. It's not humid out. You see the sun's out, but there's clouds, big billowing,
beautiful clouds, right? And we're walking, we're walking through a field. Intuitively,
do you feel like we're coming up? We're coming up on where your gift might be? We're going to do a
little treasure hunting because I feel it coming. So we're heading there. We're a few feet away.
All right. I think this is the spot. Let's dig right here. So I'm sticking my shovel in the
ground. What about you? Yep. You're, you're digging over there. I see you. You're digging
to. We're digging together. Whoa. I just hit a box. I hit a wooden box. What is this wooden box?
It's a beautiful, it's made out of walnut. It's a gorgeous box. Let's help me pull this out of
the ground. Let's open this up. What's in this box? What's in here? Let's open this up. Let's
see. We're opening the box. What do you see? What do you see? Do you see that time when you were
compassionate to someone? Do you see that time when you were compassionate to someone?
Do you see that time when you took in that cat?
Do you see that time when you took care of your dog really well
when he was ailing? Do you see that time when you were good to your loved
one? Do you see that time when you
really, really felt that you were doing something
you were inspired about? Do you see your gift in this box?
Do you see the trust and the compassion and the love that's in this box that you have inside your soul?
It's part of your gift of who you are.
You see your gift.
What's your gift?
What do you create?
What are you the creator of?
What do you own?
You own your own gift.
It's here in this box.
I know you know what it is.
I know you're seeing it.
I want you to do this exercise.
I want you to know what your special gift is,
and then I want you to know who you work for.
You have to know your special gift,
and then you have to know who you work for,
and then the word purpose becomes something greater,
and it comes together for you,
and it lands on your lap,
and it's in your hands,
and it's satisfying because it's real.
It's there. It's powerful. It's profound. It's part of you.
And it will help you heal.
It truly will help you heal.
We all have a purpose because we all have a gift.
But we all need to know how to really access it in a way and know who we're working for.
And we're there. We're there.
I'm with you.
Take one day at a time. I'm with you.
keep a light heart, fall in love with your purpose again, whatever that is, fall in love with your
purpose. If it's one thing that you do a day, whether it's making your food, making a good
meal for yourself, taking a supplement, calling a loved one, that is a purpose with a gift behind
it and when you know who you work for it ignites it and amplifies it and affects the other person
in such a profound positive way it changes the world around you many blessings see you in the
next step
