A few more thoughts on knowing that you’re on the right track to uncovering your spiritual Purpose:
You lose track of time. The days of counting the minutes until quitting time end; instead, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. (Even if you’re working a J.O.B., there are many ways your gig can help you get on Purpose, including by making you feel uncomfortable and, thereby, solidifying your resolve.) Though you may be tired -- I know, I sometimes am! -- you also feel excited, which invigorates you. The weariness you experience when you’re feeling inspired feels very different from the fatigue you experience when the life is being sucked out of you.
You don’t need to check any aspect of yourself at the door. There’s no need to fake it, go along to get along or feel small. You begin to realize that everything about you is purposeful, including all of the so-called “good” and “bad” experiences that have brought you to this point.
You are using your God-given gifts and talents. Many times we overlook our innate abilities because we figure that things must be hard. But we can find clues by examining our interests, things we have a natural affinity for, things that come easy to us and things we take for granted about ourselves but which others notice about us. The clues to finding your freedom are all around you. In fact, they are you (more on that later).
You feel free. Free to be the large, expansive and authentic version of who you are. You no longer feel bound, limited or small.
