You would think that once we know our Soul Purpose, everything would be just a walk in the park, right? After all, it’s our PURPOSE. It’s why our Soul is here! So of course moving into our Soul Purpose will feel really, really good, right?

Unfortunately … no.

Here are ten truths about actually doing our Soul Purpose … and they may surprise you!

1. Our Soul Purpose usually scares the crap out of us. In fact, it your Purpose doesn’t at least mildly terrify you, it probably isn’t your Soul Purpose.

2. Whether we catch a mere glimpse of our Purpose or grasp the entire vision in one flash of intuitive brilliance … our ego will talk us out of doing our Soul Purpose every chance it gets.

3. We can at all times manage to find fifteen more immediately important things to do than our Soul Purpose. The ego loves using distraction as a resistance mechanism.

4. We don’t “feel like” doing our Soul Purpose, ever. Your emotions are run by your ego, and if you wait for your Purpose to “feel good,” you’ll be waiting a very long time.

5. The thought of getting started and actually putting our purposeful work out into the world will frequently lead to curling up on the couch and watching three seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. The ego is a master of procrastination.

6. Purpose envy is common. Usually everyone else’s Soul Purpose sounds way sexier, cooler, and more lucrative than our own.

7. Our Divine Gifts seem neither “Divine” nor like “gifts.” Surely, since we do this every single day it can’t really be special, right?

8. Moving into our Soul Purpose is way more work than we expect it to be.

9. Even when we’re doing our Soul Purpose – even if we’re making great money doing it – our ego will still doubt that we’re REALLY doing our Purpose.

10. There’s always a next level to shifting into your Soul Purpose. It’s a process that never ends.

Wow … doing our Soul Purpose sounds kind of …. hard, huh?

So why do we bother?

Because once we actually manage to get over our egoic resistance and take action in spite of fear and self-doubt, we find that doing our Soul Purpose is the most fun we can imagine having with our clothes on.

It doesn’t seem like it BEFORE we start. It’s an experience we only get once we are in the flow of DOING.

Until we get to our next up-level. Then we find ourselves in the next level of egoic resistance. We find ourselves once again in fear, self-doubt, procrastination, and distraction.

Of course, once you’ve been through the process of stepping up into the next level of your Soul Purpose three or four times … well, you also know what lies on the other side.

Beginning the journey is the hardest part.

But it’s your PURPOSE. What else are you going to do?

To your Divinity,
Andrea
