John Henry Cardinal Newman
Just like your purpose doesn’t affect you alone, you probably won’t be fulfilling it all on your own either. As mentioned earlier, you may feel a tad overwhelmed or intimidated by what you’ve discovered is your life purpose.
Your mind may be swirling with thoughts like these: “How on earth will I be able to do this myself? What if I can’t do it? What if I screw it up and let everyone down? What if I can’t secure financing? What if I can’t find the resources I need to make this happen?”
These worries are completely normal, but also unnecessary. Here’s why: the bigger and more powerful your life purpose is, the more help you’ll receive to achieve it.
There are two ways to look at this:
1) If you believe that your life purpose is pre-destined, then you also have to believe that the universe (or your choice of governing divinity) would not give you an important purpose and abandon you without a clue about how to complete it.
2) If you believe that you choose your own purpose, then you also have to believe that you have the resourcefulness, ingenuity and smarts to make it happen.
Both scenarios mean one thing: that you are not undertaking this journey without tools or guidance! Either you already have what you need to complete your life purpose, or it will come into your life at the exact moment you need it. That might include meeting other people who have a similar or related purpose and want to team up with you, or it could mean having the perfect opportunities appear right when you need them most!
In fact, there is a little thing called “synchronicity” that will surprise you again and again once you begin following your true purpose. If you are standing at the threshold of something new and exciting and you’re terrified that you can’t do it all on your own – get ready to be awed and amazed!
Everything you need to complete your purpose will appear right when you need it – or you’ll at least know how to get it, if it doesn’t come directly to you. Your job in the meantime is to set aside your fears and doubts, and simply begin moving forward. Take one step, then another. The rest will all fall into place beautifully.
