Follow Your True Purpose in 2008 or Suffer
Near the beginning of the year I was having a conversation with someone about 2008 being a big year in the “spiritual realm”. I was told that a lot of the spirit guides are no longer waiting or asking people’s Ego’s for permission to gently guide them in the direction of their true path. There is a big shift happening on “that side” and our guides are not asking anymore, they’re now telling us what we need to do.
Whether you believe in Spirit Guides or not, it really doesn’t matter. Just keep your eyes open and look around. You can call it “spirit guides” or you can call it “the world” or “the economy” or whatever you’re comfortable with, but the point is that the idea of people working at dead-end jobs they hate and aren’t productive at is coming to an end – very quickly.
It seems to me like the guides are working with our “true selves” to help us find and pursue our true path. The fact that you’re reading this is a prime example of that energy at work. Just by looking around me, I am seeing so many people experiencing this right now. This energy is typically manifesting itself in increasing amounts of discomfort applied to people who aren’t following their true path, instead addicted to the comfort of doing what they’ve always been doing.
What does this look like?
- Loss of employment, getting laid off or fired
- Increase in financial obligations which current ‘work’ can’t afford to pay for
- Increasing dissatisfaction in doing what you’re doing
- Depression, feelings of being lost, unsure what to do or where to go
- Feeling stuck and confused
- All “jobs” seem to have the same “problem”
- etc.
This is the negative side of this energy, basically systematically deconstructing your current “This is who I am and what I do” identity.
There is a tremendous amount of pain involved for the Ego to have that illusionary identity deconstructed like that and I’m seeing it everywhere.
Basically, people who are not following their true path, who are not taking the time to really figure out who they are, what they are here to do, learning how to connect with their true selves and their spirit guides etc. are suffering, and the pain is just going to get worse until they hit “threshold” and flip the coin to the other side.
On the other side of the coin of this energy, I’m seeing more and more examples of people who HAVE taken the time to find their true purpose in life, to connect to their true self, to get clear on their true purpose in life, and THEY are being totally supported by “the universe”.
Meaning, the rewards of following your true path are getting better and better and it’s becoming easier and easier. You’re starting to see Bloggers who find their “true path” and by sharing their true self on the Internet they’re experiencing more financial abundance then they ever had by “trying to make money”. I’m not just seeing this online in the Blogging world, I’m seeing it everywhere.
People are now finding it easier to follow their true path, to run businesses and companies doing things that just a few years ago would have never worked.
So, for those that do find and pursue their “true path” the positive side of this energy looks like this:
- Much easier to get results doing what you love to do than ever before
- Financial security and abundance are much easier to achieve
- Increasing amounts of resources, chance meetings, synchronicities to help you follow your true path
- An increasing network of “Life Coaches” and “Life Guides” to help you find and follow your true path
- Odds stacked in your favor to succeed
I’m not sure if anyone else is seeing this, as at first I thought it was just happening to me, but as this year progresses I am seeing it happening more and more to people all around me.
It really makes me realize that I need to get even better at helping people to learn how to “make money doing what they love” instead of slaving away at the unproductive jobs they despise.
What’s really crazy is that from my observations this is not a linear process. It seems to be exponential. Meaning, the speed at which these changes are happening seems to be growing rapidly.
I just wanted to share this so if this is happening to you right now, know that you’re not alone.

I would say it’s been happening to me for 6 years
.
However I would also say that I haven’t fully flipped the coin yet, rather just turned it on its side. We’ll see how my progress goes.
Thanks for the inspiring post.
You made me cry–I’ve been looking for that “true self” all my life, asking endless questions and coming up with no answer. I would love to have a purpose, and I know what the “support of the universe” feels like. I felt exactly that when I made the decision to return to school, but before that and since, I’ve been dead in the water. Reading your blog tonight created almost a vibrational accord in my head and heart, when you know something rings true. I’ve been unemployed for nearly a year now, and thought I could use the time to get some answers, but none are forthcoming. Is it possible, I wonder, that some of us don’t HAVE purpose, other than as “filler”…?
I agree 100 per cent Paul,
Ever since the “PC” age, a new paradigm shift has hit the world. The typical 17 years of education and 30 years to a gold watch is no longer working. The days of trading hours for currency is becoming obsolete. Hell, money is becoming obsolete. Vikter Frankel’s theory of “meaning” is becoming such a reality. Freud said man had an inherent need for pleasure. Frankle said man had a deeper need for meaning. He wrote in his concentration camp letters (Man’s search for Meaning) that those who survived Nazi torture had a sense of meaning in there lives. They were able to see themlselves being reunited with their loved ones as they walked out of the barbed wire compounds.
They were using principals of the Law of Attraction to stay alive. They visualized their intentions. I’m sure they meditated on it night and day. Then they would one day manifest their intentions
You have 3 choices of survival:
1. Work the system. (government aid) This has no future
2. Work for the man. (Trade hours for currency) This has a dismal future
3. Work for yourself or have others work for you. If you’re doing what you love; it;s not work.
The people in group 3 will flourish in this new culture.
Paul – Yes, things do seem to be coming to a tipping point! It’s all good, even though the ego may not see it that way right now
The issue of choice is paramount now – what really matters most to us? Many people seem to be experiencing “swirling” energy. By deciding and committing to what we really want and, we can turn the potential into the actual and create what matters most.
@Paul: Yes, I too believe we’re in this together. I’m here to help too. I found comfort in the words of Marianne Williamson:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
@Denise: Hi Denise, let me offer you 7 words of hope that might help you with your quest. Here they are:
There are NO extra people out there.
Meaning, you’re not just an “extra” in this symphony of life. You have a unique and important purpose. Finding your true purpose in life is not an easy process, and that is why so many of us give up and resort to “settling” for whatever comes our way, living below our true potential.
Have you gone through the exercises I teach in “The Passion Project” yet? Perhaps you’re having trouble connecting to your purpose and passion in life because you’re trying to wait until you hear the “grand plan” before you take a step forward in any direction. Knowing your true purpose is not like knowing the destination on a map that you somehow program your GPS for.
Knowing your purpose is more like knowing the DIRECTION on a map, kind of like a compass.
In terms of metaphors, if you’re in Houston, Texas, and you try to figure out where your purpose is, you may be waiting to hear whether it’s in Los Angeles or New York. While you’re desperately trying to listen for the DESTINATION, the universe is continuously sending you a message to your internal GPS saying “GO NORTH! GO NORTH!” but you’re tuning it out thinking “SHHHHHH with the Go North crap, I’m trying to listen if I’m supposed to go to LA or NY!”
Try reading my eBook again, go through the exercises and see what comes up for you.
You may find out in the end that your purpose was so grand, your true fear was trying to live such a grand purpose, and not the fear of not having one.
Take care of yourself.
Someone recently sent me an ebook which is freely available here http://www.freedomfiles.org/mary-Book.pdf by Mary Elizabeth Croft. It is described as a Spiritual Economics book. While I am neither an economist nor a legal expert, MEC seems to handle these subjects in a way that inspires confidence. At least in me. I find her spiritual ground sound; one in which I recognize my own truths. I was going to send the link to Paul but the comment by Ace Andres has prompted me to do even better – leave the link here!
BTW Paul, I read The Passion Project and enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the exercises even though they are of a kind that I am familiar with. Going through the thinking and feeling process is always enlightening no matter how many times you do it as long as there is a reasonable gap between them.
I am mentioning it here to encourage Denise and others like her to do them
Thanks for the ebook and the many other words of insight you share! Lucy
You’re definitely not the only one Paul. You can see this by the other comments as well. I am becoming increasingly aware that I am not (or was not) on my true path and I am making serious progress to getting back on track. Your recent review of my blog was a kick up the ass I needed and it spurred me on. I’ve also connected with a lot of interesting people as I reach out to find people who share my own desires. I’ve taken a serious look at how I’m going about getting onto the path and the way is so clear to me now! There is a lot of work to do, but it’s effort I really want to apply so it won’t be work in the classical sense. I’m enjoying it to the point of being addicted to it. Thanks for the inspiration man!
The noise has been building up and it’s getting louder. Large and small, good and bad things alike have contributed and it makes for a very interesting time: the web, telecommuting, 9/11, Enron and corporate corruption, mass layoffs, outsourcing, social media and viral marketing, blogging, the Secret, Tim Ferriss and other authors….I kind of see it all as part of the shift. It fascinates me.
The web more than anything has given an outlet and voice to many dissatisfied souls. It’s wonderful to have communities such as this and other like-minded blogs to come to for encouragement and masterminding.
I firmly believe that there’s more help, hope and possibility out there than ever before for taking control of your working life.
I had a thought just a moment ago to visit your site again, and when I read this post, I smiled and knew exactly why. I am very convinced that these events are happening to many people out there – as I am starting to see it, and am definitely experiencing it myself. In my case, I feel this increasing energy and better intuition guiding me, as if I had really stifled it before, and know I’m a lot clearer and able to hear what it was saying to me all along. As soon as your intentions are known to the Universe, you’d better believe that you are given opportunities and increased synchronicities! All of this makes for some very exciting meetings with some very exciting people, and the Universe definitely does not wait for people! If you see an opportunity, you’d better hop on the bandwagon and go with it, especially if you’re scared or fearful, because those are usually the ones that provide the most challenges and reap the most rewards.
I’m excited with what I’ve been experiencing thus far and have found that Dr. Joe Vitale’s book that you spoke about earlier in a blog post (The Key) has been tremendously helpful to me.
Hi,
Don’t despair Denise. I started looking for my purpose when I was twelve. Finally at 53 I believe I have a clue.
I initially had a more ego based idea of what my purpose might be. Something noble. But for 25 years I lived in a self created hell on earth and survived some painful experiences. Seventeen years ago, I began transforming my life. But I was still clueless about my purpose.
I started working as a counselor and it was the first time in my life that I didn’t feel inadequate, (at least when I was working) and I alway knew what to say, what was needed and how to reach my clients. But I had to quit work because of health issues. I kept trying to positive think myself back to health so I could start my own facility. But it seemed I kept getting worse.
Finally, I decided to accept my situation as it currently existed (not to say that I still don’t do work to heal). I decided to see what I could do at the moment to kept from vegetating. Shortly thereafter, I received a book, one of many, that I had ordered. It was written by a life coach. I didn’t know there was such a thing. And then I discovered that I could do it on the phone.
Perfect! That 25 years of hell is now an attribute because I have experienced and overcome many of the issues that can make people feel trapped and miserable. But it still isn’t smooth sailing.
Not knowing about the internet, I had to get some information. First I spent money on ebooks and courses, but I needed more. Then I spent thousands on “business mentors” on the internet. Yes, I was incredibly naive. First I got absolutely nothing I couldn’t have gotten for free and the second time I got limited and faulty information. I even had to pay to have the website redesigned because no one could figure out the system that was used in order to finish it.
So I am looking at bankruptcy for the credit card debt that I incurred on the internet plus some medical bills that occurred right behind. I never have had credit card debt before. But I still believe I am on track with my purpose. Perhaps the “how” is the problem.
Part of the lesson I have learned is that I need to trust myself more. I do need help with the marketing, but as far as my articles, courses, information, insights and coaching, the answers are in my heart and soul. Not somewhere else. I have done extensive field work, 25 years of it and 17 more overcoming the issues that led to it.
Since my unfortunate experiences on the internet, I have found two people who are genuine and have integrity. What a gift. One is a web designer and he designed a logo for me free of charge.The other person is a marketing expert. I squeezed out the last of my credit line and he s helping with the marketing. He even cut his price in half because of my situation.
I agree about not looking for a destination. You probably won’t get one. It’s more like a feeling to go right or left. A nudge here and a nudge there. But it takes practice to discern the intuitive wisdom from ego or emotional reactions. Especially if you happen to be like I was.
I had repressed my own feeling since I was three and only showed the ones that were appropriate or didn’t cause anyone else discomfort. No wonder I felt like I didn’t count and that I wasn’t important. I was making myself invisible. I was an extra in everyone else’s drama acting out their script for me. I didn’t even know who I was anymore. Those 17 years were a journey back to myself.
Feelings are the language of the Soul. The more you allow yourself to experience your feelings, the more you will feel the direction that your Soul is trying to show you. Sorry, this is already longer than I had intended and I could go on. But I will save it for another post.
You will find your Purpose. Sometimes preparation may be required. But don’t give up and certainly know this: YOU have a purpose. Being who we truly are underneath the defenses and the ego, and living our Purpose is what give our lives meaning. Expressing our essence and fulfilling our Purpose is who we are. If we fail to do this, we may have existed, but WE haven’t lived.
To Your Authentic Life,
Lauren Kennedy
I also have a blog. I don’t know if I am allowed to put the URL here or not.
This has been totally happening to me this year. It is relieving to know that I am a part of much larger movement.
Many thanks.
It’s been happening to me too. I’ve chosen to go the way of doing things you love and all of a sudden all these wonderful opportunities and coincidences keep popping up for me.
