(00:00): Recently I asked my audience a simple question in
a social media post, what are your biggest fears and struggles of the hundreds of comments on that
post? The majority were about life purpose, one by one, people were saying that their biggest fear
was to get to the end of their lives without finding and living their life purpose. And I
noticed one big energy issue with these comments. They were filled with anxiety and stress. There
was such a deep emotional distress about this that I wanted to jump in front of the camera right away
and shoot this video to help you out of this heavy energy around life purpose if you feel like you're
in it right now, because if you stay in this heavy energy, it'll be impossible to live your
life purpose. In this video, you'll learn what life purpose is, how chasing it can backfire.
(00:48): Four simple tips to help
you connect to your life purpose easily. And the biggest secret about purpose that will completely
change the way you see your life. Some spiritual teachers and philosophers believe that there's no
inherent meaning or purpose to life other than to just be here. Philosopher Alan Watts famously said
that the meaning of life is just to be alive. It's so plain and so obvious and so simple,
and yet everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve
something beyond themselves. I love this quote, and I partially agree with what Watts is saying,
but there's more to the story on a soul level. There are two major truths when it comes to your
soul incarnating on earth, and one of them is in line with what Alan Watts was talking about.
One of the main purposes of the soul incarnating down here is just to experience more and new.
(01:40): Okay? So your sole energy prizes new
experiences, new opportunities, new things, your soul energy prizes, new experiences above almost
anything else. And that's one of the main drivers of the soul wanting to, to incarnate down here on
planet Earth, is just to continuously experience new things. The reason that your soul, it really
prizes new experiences, is because it's on an energy level. It's a really expansive energy.
So your soul is constantly expanding more and more and more, which is why it prizes new experience.
It expands exactly like the universe does. And so in this expansion, it's constantly looking for new
experiences. So this first truth is in line with what Alan Watts was talking about, but there's a
second truth behind your soul incarnating down here, and that is that your soul meticulously
plans out every lifetime before you come. Your soul has a plan for each incarnation that the
soul plans, each time you come down here on planet Earth, you come with a plan on a sole level.
(02:43): The soul has a
plan about what kind of experiences it wants to have, and it's very detailed in this plan. Now,
this doesn't mean that your life is predetermined, right? It's important to remember that it doesn't
mean that your life is predetermined, but you do have a plan on a soul level before you come
here. Sometimes the plan pans out. Sometimes the plan doesn't pan out. There's never any judgment
on the soul level whether your plan pans out or not. So life isn't predetermined in that way,
but there is a general plan that the soul has before coming here. When I look at life purpose
from a soul level, it really just looks like this, the plan your soul set out for your human
self in a specific lifetime. So of the two major truths that I just talked about, remember this,
that the soul gives a lot of importance to that life plan, and that's where your life purpose
then comes in. (03:34):
Now, let's get into why chasing your purpose will backfire. So chasing something,
the energy of chasing something is already an energy that's very, very contracted and filled
with fear. Okay? If I chase something, I'm chasing something because I'm either unhappy,
I'm not okay, I am just not okay with where I am in the present moment. My, I don't feel good in
my life right now, so I'm gonna go chase something out there in the hopes that I'm gonna feel better
after I have it. This is a really precarious energy that's going to set you back when it
comes to your life purpose. And I wanna explore this energy of chasing. I wanna explore it from
a brain science perspective and from a spiritual perspective, so that you could really understand
once and for all why this energy can set you back and really sometimes prevent you from living your
life purpose. (04:25):
In a study done by Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert, they found that if our minds
wander from the present moment and from the actual physical reality that we are become unhappy,
the more our minds wander, the more unhappy we are, even if our mind is wandering to amazing
places. So imagine you're sitting at your desk at work and you just hate your job. So you stop
working at your computer for a moment, and you look out the window and you start thinking of
being on a beach far away, taking up some sun and drinking a margarita. Wouldn't that make
you excited and happy? Surprisingly, not really. Killingsworth and Gilbert found that while you
might hope all this mental wandering is taking us to happier places, the data say otherwise,
just like the wise traditions teach, we're happiest when thought and action are aligned,
even if they're only aligned to wash dishes. (05:31):
So by thinking constantly about what my life purpose may be, I'm moving
my mind away from the present moment, and I'm wandering. And the more that my mind wanders,
the less happy I am spiritually. When my mind is stuck in wandering, the unhappiness that I'm
feeling will then energetically be translated into a contracted energy field and aura. The energy
field that surrounds my body is very responsive to my thoughts. So the more more that my mind is
wandering, the more that I'm thinking about a possible life purpose, especially if I'm doing
that from a place of not being okay in the present moment and not being okay in my life, I'm going to
start not only having that energy field contract, but also I'm adding fear into the system. The
more that I add fear into the system, now the overall vibration of my energy field decreases.
(06:19): And when this happens, you're left with a
big energy problem, a contracted energy field, and an energy field that has a low vibration is going
to decrease your magnetization and manifestation powers. The smaller that energy field is, it means
that you won't be able to manifest the things that you desire in life as well. Spiritual teacher,
Abraham Hicks talks about this as a form of energy resistance, that the more you think
about something or you envision something with an energy of fear or a contracted energy field,
the more you're gonna mess up the manifestation of whatever you're desiring. Listen to Abraham
explain this. (06:57):
The harder you try, the more you practice the vibration of resistance,
and then the louder you ask, but the, the more you've practiced the vibration of resistance. So
you just have to let the things that you want that haven't been coming go for a while. Just
let them go. Stop using what you want that you don't have as your excuse to not feel good.
(07:20): What Abraham is showing us is
that the more unhappy we feel at something that we don't have, like our life purpose, the less
we'll be able to manifest it. So we have to learn to feel good before the manifestation appears. If
my vibration is in fear or unhappiness, and I'm constantly wandering and constantly having an
overactive mind, what that does is it disconnects me from my heart and my heart guidance. And that's
a big problem because your life purpose is given to you through your heart center. The soul pings
down to you, into your heart, whatever it wants, and whatever the next steps are in the plan for
your, for your life mission and your soul purpose. And if I'm disconnected from that heart center,
then I'm going to miss the plan that the soul has for me. And here's the biggest secret about
life purpose. There's a common misconception that you know your life purpose all in one fell swoop,
that you can literally be sitting in meditation one day and a light bulb just
goes off in your head and suddenly you know your entire life purpose in one sitting,
(08:31): I know what my life purpose is,
but that's not at all how life purpose goes and how your soul feeds life purpose to you. In fact,
your soul very, very rarely gives you the whole vision all at once. What usually happens is the
soul operates. It gives you the next step in your life purpose like little breadcrumb. So
it creates a breadcrumb trail, and that means that one little breadcrumb here,
and you take a step, then the soul gives you another breadcrumb, and then you take
a step. And that's how life purpose is genuinely revealed by the soul. One little ping at a time,
one little breadcrumb at a time that you receive at the level of the heart. And these breadcrumbs
are sometimes given to you like, uh, in the form of visions, maybe you'll have
signs or synchronicities. It can even be in conversations that you have with people.
(09:17): The breadcrumbs will show up in, in
various ways, and your soul sets them out for you to see them. Each breadcrumb that you find will be
a step in the direction of your life purpose. And the best way for you to see the breadcrumbs is for
you to be in an energy of joy and satisfaction, or at least peace with where you're at in the
present moment. If you are in an energy of fear, dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, that's going to
contract your energy field over activate your mind, you're gonna be stuck in these negative
thought loops. And the more that you are stuck in negative thinking and a contracted energy,
the more you're going to miss all of the signs and synchronicities that the universe sends your way,
your soul, your angels, your guides may be sending you synchronicities and signs, but you just cannot
see them because you're stuck in this contracted energy. I feel so alone in this universe.
(10:05): You know, like,
like I'm not receiving any guidance. I feel like my guides don't care about me. Like I, I'm just
feeling so abandoned. I feel so abandoned. (10:17):
So now that we know that chasing your life purpose actually keeps it away, what can we do to live our
life purpose before we die? The first tip is to stop focusing on the finish line. Okay? So
remember, your soul is not going to feed your life purpose in one little fell swoop. You're not gonna
get it all at once. So learn how to follow the breadcrumbs that your soul and that the universe
sends your way. Take it one step at a time. Follow the signs and synchronicities. Pay attention to
the signs and synchronicities that your guide, that your soul, that the universe is sending your
way. And then take it one step at a time, not focusing on what the potential finish line is.
You'll get there eventually. It's not, the finish line isn't even important. It's each step that
you take along the way, making sure that you're always listening to your guides and always there
to receive the breadcrumbs that your soul ISC sending. Just like Abraham teaches, we're going
to release the outcome and just focus on what's right in front of our faces. One step at a time,
one breadcrumb at a time. Hello, angel. (11:24):
Tip number two is to practice acceptance of the present moment. So close your eyes, take a nice
deep breath and really tap into that energy of chasing and what it feels like in your body. All
right? And remember that chasing is coming from a non-acceptance of the present moment, me not
being okay with where I am right now. That's what leads to chasing. And that energy keeps my life
purpose away from me because I'm in a completely different energy. My energy is contracted. So
I, I have to learn how to accept where I am. If I do not accept where I am, I really am in
an energy of escapism and an energy of escapism is completely keeping that life purpose away. I can't
move into my purpose from a place of fear and unhappiness. Okay? Remember this mantra, remember
this affirmation, I can't get to the life purpose from a place of unhappiness and low vibration.
(12:17): So you have to learn to accept where you
are right now. This is your present moment. This is where you are. And from there, you take a step
forward, and then another one from a different energy. So acceptance is key. Tip number three
is to reach for joy, satisfaction, curiosity. So a lot of times people ask me what those breadcrumbs
from the soul look like. Like, what do those breadcrumbs look like? And for me, it's very clear
to see those breadcrumbs in your life, because it will always be involving, uh, moments of joy,
excitement, and even curiosity. Your soul programs into your heart. A lot of joys,
a lot of happiness. Things that you really enjoy will be programmed in your heart,
and it's programmed there on purpose because those are leading you to your life purpose. All right?
So always remember to focus on joy. (13:04):
If you, if there's not, I've had people that have said to me, you know, I don't really have
things that excite me. I don't know what I'm good at, or I don't have natural talents. Follow your
curiosities. All right? You can even just start from curiosity. So what are the themes? What are
the topics? What are the areas in your, in your life or in life in general that you feel curiosity
towards? Follow those curiosities. All right, so curiosity, joy, satisfaction. The more that you
are in this energy, the more that you're tapping into what those breadcrumbs are that your soul is
sending you. As an example from my life, years ago, I had an intuition to start doing videos.
I had no idea how to make videos. I had no idea about equipment, no idea about the technicalities
of YouTube. I had no idea what, what I would say, but still, I felt a curiosity.
(13:50): I felt a pull.
I felt an intuition to start doing videos. And I just went into it. I went into that excitement,
and my first videos were horrible. I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but I just kept doing
it because it brought a lot of curiosity, a lot of excitement to my life. The more that I kept
stepping in that direction, the more excitement I felt. And you see, that started to kind of propel
me forward on my life purpose. And here we are 10 years later, and now I'm not only working
on YouTube, but I do retreats and coaching, and I've worked with thousands of people. But that
has come directly from this initial intuition that I had to make videos. Tip number four is
to act decisively. When inspired to, so this one, a lot of people get this wrong. So a lot of people
will ask for the breadcrumbs, they'll ask for the guidance, they'll ask for the synchronicities.
But then when they receive those signs and synchronicities, when they receive the guidance,
then they start to self sabotage and just sit on the couch and don't move and don't wanna act
(14:53): Outta the way.
(14:54): What's the point in asking for guidance
from the universe if then you're not gonna act on that guidance to make things happen in the 3d?
Now, for a bonus tip, quiet your mind. . So a mind that is overactive, a mind that is stuck in
wandering, that's constantly in negative thoughts, that is going to disconnect you from your heart
center. And it's at your heart center, that you have access to intuition, to your life purpose,
to all the breadcrumbs that your soul is sending you. So an overactive mind can be
really problematic when you're trying to live your life purpose. And I know just how hard it can be
to quiet a mind down, especially when your mind never shuts up like mine does. So I shot a whole
video about why your mind is overactive in the first place, and what you can do to shut it up.
(15:42): I am just all being here by myself,
