Pain is a guide

Emotional pain and suffering can be a guide, if you choose to use it, to lead us to our purpose.

What we suffered in the past can be used now to ensure the pattern or circumstances that lead to our suffering is not repeated in our lives going forward and we can help others to avoid it too.

Having a purpose is the most important thing in life, without it we remain unfulfilled. Finding our purpose is a challenge, many never find it. Often, we have been conditioned to seek it in what we love to do, however, in more powerful ways it lies in what we have suffered.

Taking the past and rewriting it in our own minds with a positive purpose for now, and shaping our future, allows us to let go, move on and achieve something that we can be fulfilled with.

Alone

Altogether, cosy.

Safe in the circle.

Among the crowd.

Following the trend.

Fitting in.

Belonging, we think.

Belonging to the crowd.

Not true belonging.

True belonging is in the wilderness.

Alone…from the crowd.

But where we truly are…

Truly ourselves.

The bravest place is true belonging.

Step into the wilds.

It’s where we all belong.



Inspiration behind this comes from my number one favourite author Brene Brown and her last book ‘Braving The Wilderness’.
