3 Ways To Launch Into Your Authentic Life Path
It has been said that the two biggest days of our existence are the day we are born and the day we discover why we were born. When you view life as a path instead of a race, you can approach it with the confidence that no matter who does what before you, it has nothing to do with the reason you occupy this world. It instantly causes the burden of getting more ‘stuff’ off your shoulders and positions you for what matters most.
It can be a challenge to get rid of the clutter and tune in. But that is exactly what you have been craving. Examine that feeling that has been in the pit of your stomach. No amount of cocktails or parties can fill the void. You have changed your home, job and even mate yet you wake up feeling the same way. The reason is there is a path calling your name. There’s an encounter that has been scheduled for you to run smack into the purpose for your life; and you will never be happy until you locate it. You will continue on the ‘treadmill of life’ moving fast but accomplishing nothing.

Here are some ways to launch into your authentic path:
- Just start exploring: Get out of your head and into the game. We are created to feel, touch, express and explore. Our nature drives us by curiosity. In order to find out what you want to do, you will need to start doing stuff. Don’t be paralyzed by the ‘what’ so much. Try a bunch of activities, hang out with different types of people, and visit various places. You don’t know what you are looking for but I promise you will know it when you find it.
- Be open to new experiences: A closed mind is an unhappy mind. It is easy to get stuck in a rut and routine. If you find yourself frustrated it may be that you are too predictable. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs says that we are designed to need variety. The tapestry of life is filled with patterns and textures that were meant to be seen firsthand. Our digital world has made it easy for us to sit on our butts and read about life. Get out and live it for yourself!
- Become your life’s evangelist: A generic definition of an evangelist is a person who goes about sharing a doctrine and urging people to convert to it. A commercial is really a form of evangelism. It is used to convert us to the product. In your life, you need to be the one advocating for yourself. This empowers us to be the author of our lives instead of the circumstances. Stand up for yourself, you deserve the best in life!
Venturing out onto a new path is scary. But if we remember how tiny the box we are living in is and how big our lives are supposed to be, we will get the strength to break free. There is a specific path for each of us. And that path appears to those who are ready to say good bye to the familiar and embrace what lies ahead.
