How Surrendering and Obeying Your Intuition Leads to Purpose
We’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart and has been truly transformative in my own journey: surrendering and obedience. These aren’t just concepts, but powerful practices that have revolutionized my life, and they can do the same for you.
You know, life has a funny way of guiding us to our true calling, often in the most unexpected ways. For me, embracing my journey to boldness began the day I realized I needed to let go of old beliefs and fears. It was during my divorce journey that it hit me: holding on to what no longer serves you is like trying to sail with an anchor down. You only end up stagnant, or worse, sinking.
Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up; it’s about releasing the old to make space for the new. It’s about saying, “Okay, universe, I’m ready to receive what’s truly meant for me.” This is where the magic happens, Bold One.
When you surrender, you allow yourself to be open to new possibilities, aligning yourself with your true life’s calling.
Let's talk about our inner GPS – our intuition. How many times have we ignored those little nudges, thinking we know better, only to find ourselves lost? Trust me, I've been there. I used to disregard my intuitive hits, but I faced the consequences. My life didn't align with my purpose until I started listening to my internal guidance.
Think of it this way: when you set your GPS for a destination, you follow the directions, right? Our intuition works in the same way. It guides us towards our purpose, but only if we obey those subtle directions. Trusting your gut isn’t always easy; it requires practice and patience. But every time you listen and act on it, that trust strengthens.
Let’s get a bit more personal here. One of my clients recently received an incredible opportunity. Naturally, she was excited but also unsure – it's a big leap into the unknown, after all. She came to me for confirmation, to ensure she wasn't being double-minded about the decision. My advice to her was the same mantra I live by: approach with fresh eyes and curiosity.
When faced with choices, having an open mind and a willingness to explore possibilities can be the game-changer. Too often, we get caught up in the fear of the unknown, but what if instead, we chose to be curious? This mindset shift can open doors you never even knew existed.
Here's an exercise I encourage you to try – make a list of what you need to surrender to. It could be limiting beliefs, fears, or old habits. Reflect on what obedience to your intuition could create in your life. Maybe it’s a new career, healthier relationships, or even just peace of mind. Write it down. Visualize it. Manifest it.
In my own life, I learned about the importance of obedience the hard way. Ignoring my calling led me down a path of discontent and unfulfillment. However, the moment I started paying attention to my intuitive hits, aligning my actions with my purpose, everything began to shift. I understood that obedience isn’t about restraint but about freedom – the freedom to live a life that makes your heart sing.
My challenge to you, Bold Ones, is this: continue to live boldly without seeking permission. Embrace your intuition; let it guide you towards your purpose. Start small if you need to; those tiny steps add up. Remember, your journey to boldness is uniquely yours. Each step you take brings you closer to the life you’re meant to live.
