The intentional roamer: Letting go of old ways
I’ve noticed how attached I am to finding my purpose. I seem to want to label it, define it, and sum it up into a nice elevator pitch.
What I also know is that I DO NOT LIKE labels and I don’t buy into the old ways and the “shoulds”. None of it works for me anymore. I know I’m not alone. It’s a running theme in many conversations I have had of late.
Where does that leave me and anyone else who wants to jump on “the old ways don’t work anymore” bandwagon? I’m mostly talking about running a business - the likes, the follows, the income, the optimum # of clients. You can apply “the old ways don’t work anymore” theory to just about everything these days, though.
Here’s the truth: by traditional standards, my “business” isn’t thriving. Somehow, that doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. You know why? If my purpose is to serve, I am wildly successful.
As I deepen into who I truly am, I realize that I am already living my purpose—by who I am being, not by what I’m producing.
Will I eventually be successful based on standard definitions of success? I don’t know. What I do know is that I can create my own standards of success. It’s time for us to let go of the old ways and open the door to new, heart-centered approaches.
