Be More Afraid of Avoiding Your Path than Walking it

You are not your shame, your fears, your addictions, your games, your guilt, the internalized remnants of negative messaging… You are not your resistance to your true path… You are not your self-doubt… You are not your self-distraction patterns… You are not your escape hatches… You are not your pessimism about a life of meaning and purpose… You are not here merely to survive and endure.

You are Sacred Purpose

No matter what others have mistakenly told you about who you are; no matter what mistakes you may have made in the past, you are here with a sacred purpose living at the core of your being. If that weren’t true, you never would have made it down the birth canal. You never would have overcome what you have already overcome in your life.

You are Sacred Purpose

Whatever your ways of distracting, postponing, delaying, armouring, avoiding, altering, feigning, artificializing, externalizing, superficializing your life… I encourage you to STOP IT NOW.

This really is no game, this is completely real, this sacred purpose that courses through your soul veins, crying out to be heard from below the surface of our avoidance. I cannot say this with enough assertiveness.

To the extent that you identify and honour your true path in this lifetime, you will know genuine satisfaction; real peace in your skin. You will be infused with vitality and a clarified focus, new pathways of possibility appear where before there were obstacles. You will know a peace that will buffer you against the madness of the world, a clarity of direction that will carry you from one satisfaction to another. Life will still have its challenges, but you will interface with them differently, coated in an authenticity of purpose that sees through the veils to what really matters.

To the extent that you avoid the quest for purpose, you will live a frustrated half-life; your avoidance manifests in all manner of illness, perpetual dissatisfaction, emotional problems, depression, addictive patterns–all reflections of your own alienation from the purposeful root of your being. You see, there really is no escape from reality, all there is, is postponement.

You should be more afraid of avoiding your path than walking it.

You are Sacred Purpose

It doesn’t matter what anyone tells you about who you are. There is so much of that. This is your journey. Even those with the best of intentions cannot know the path you are here to walk. The REAL journey is not one of adapting ourselves to someone else’s vision, but instead, shaping who we are with our own two hands. The unique clay we work with lives deep inside our soul bones, awaiting our own detection and expression.

You are the sculptor of your own reality–don’t hand your tools to anyone else.

Only you can know the path you are here to walk. It’s a personal decision, and it doesn’t have to be grandiose. Your purpose can be as simple as learning how to listen better or how to enjoy the moment without getting in your own way–wherever the growing is, wherever you find genuine peace with path, wherever you feel unmasked and genuinely real.

In the survivalist world that we are coming from, we define ourselves by what GOT US through the day, whatever masks got food on the table, whatever way of being endured this challenging life, but we are at the beginning of a new way; a way of being that is sourced from who we REALLY ARE. Not our egoic face, not our survivalist face, not the false face of our hidden power, but the REAL face, the real path, the no bullshit, no hype, no pretence expression of WHO you REALLY ARE and a life that fully and deeply expresses the magnificence that lives within you. Your sacred purpose may be covered in dust, it may be hidden from view, but it is still in there, sparkling with infinite possibility.
