60-Second Mind Shift: Discovering your highest purpose
Supporting you to free your mind so you can live from your heart!
“It is not selfish to be happy. It is your highest purpose. Your joy is the greatest contribution that you can make to life on this planet. A heart at peace with its owner blesses everyone it touches.”
— Alan Cohen
For most of my life, joy felt far away. My moods were based on what my circumstances looked like at any given moment, and my mind constantly judged both myself and my life as not enough. This belief ran deep. It showed up as a persistent sense of fear and anxiety that I tried to numb in various ways and clouded over everything.
It wasn’t until I began my journey as a coach, where I was supported by my coach to observe that this fear, this belief that "I'm not enough," had been running the show and blocking me from experiencing any joy, that I began to truly heal and grow.
With that bit of distance, I could witness the belief instead of being consumed by it. And once I witnessed it, I realized I didn’t have to identify with it. As my mentor often says, “When you see it, you don’t have to be it.”
Simultaneously, as I was going through the process of observing and dismantling that core belief, I was being guided to discover positive qualities within myself that I had never been able to see before because my brain had been so focused on what is wrong with me and trying to fix it to no avail.
What I came to understand is that there was never anything wrong with me. What I was missing were some key success skill sets that I could learn and grow into.
This process can feel deeply uncomfortable at first. But eventually, it begins to feel like a miracle. Like relief. Like joy. At its core, it’s a shift in focus, one that opens up new perspectives, new choices, and as Alan says above, the greatest gift of all: A heart at peace with its owner. Now that is priceless!
