\ud83e\udd14 It’s taken me a long time to find my purpose…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

As soon as I left high school I put pressure on myself to step into a role that was ‘stable and secure’, never thinking about whether I’d like it or not.<\/p>

I wasn’t interested in university. I just wanted to get out there and start working so I could set myself up for the rest of my days.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Working in a bank was nice for a while. I purchased a brand new car at the age of 19 and paid it off within less than a year.<\/p>

I saved my money and moved myself to a bigger city by the ocean. I made all the ‘adult’ moves I could think of as I strived for independence and social status.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

But I wasn’t happy.<\/p>

I was constantly rushing about, mindlessly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

My soul was separate from my body.<\/p>

I wasn’t living my purpose.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

What was my purpose?<\/p>

\ud83c\udf08 I had a constant craving for creativity and adventure, and deep down I wanted to help others and express my nurturing side.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

It took me some time to listen to this calling because I was so clouded by the expectations of others, as well as my own ego.<\/p>

I was full of self-doubt, fear and often dimmed my own light.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u2728 After working with a mentor, I began to remember who I was.<\/p>

\ud83d\udc97 I began to believe in myself.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

In this episode of The Smiling Soul Podcast, I talk about some of the steps I’ve taken to help me find my purpose, in hopes they could help you too if you’re currently trying to figure it out.<\/p>
