It consistently occurs to me that when you are about to step into your lifes purpose, you have to let go of something. Think about it. It isnt just some psycho babble or philosophical thought. Its really true. If you are destined for something greater, even if its unknown to you at this moment, you have to let go and step into the unknown. In morning family study, in living room, we read and talked about life purpose. I recalled the exact day at my corporate office, (14 years ago) talking to my boss. She was stressed and smoking a cigarette outside. I asked, whats your life dream? She explained that it was to have a child. I coached her that it was about choice - and that shed have to stop being a workaholic - and focus on her husband and dream. I realized on that day, that if I wanted to live my dream I would have to stop living what wasnt my dream. I quit and wrote my first book. Telling the story today, I told my boys that it is my life purpose to have you and raise you. My son Luke said; no thats not your life purpose. Your purpose is to change the world. Either way, I could not have done that staying where I was. It took a lot of anxiety and sleeplessness to make that decision to leave the job that I had loved. but I felt something invisible pulling me. If you ever feel that pull from within, or Gods nudge, just know that theres something so amazing on the other side. This has happened to me three times in my life when everything was perfect and magical and just as I had planned. Pay attention. You may have a bigger purpose - role - or person youre supposed to influence right around the corner.
