Being On Purpose
Do you believe your “decision maker” is broken?
When you don’t trust yourself to make decisions, you aren’t making any decisions because you’re not willing to make a choice for fear of risking making the wrong choice.
Full stop.
No decision is final and when you watch this video I’ll provide you with some different perspective on all the choices we get to make along the journey.
My friend Marielle introduced me to an experience I’ll never forget.
Together we boarded a repurposed school bus in a small country town late one Saturday night. No money was asked of our participation; this would be a free ride. The bus was completely packed with people AND there was a caravan of vehicles following behind because there wasn’t enough space for everyone who wanted a seat.
What transpired over the next two hours I could never have anticipated and I’m not sure I can — or want to try to — explain to you what happened.
Perhaps what I experienced is irrelevant.
And yet I never would have had the experience if I hadn’t gotten on the bus. Oversimplification? No.
We don’t have to know where the bus is heading to take the ride.
We don’t even have to know who else is on the bus.
My experience on the bus wasn’t identical (or probably even similar) to Marielle’s or to anyone else’s riding the bus. It was only my experience being created.
The adventure is made in the taking of it.
We can’t have an adventure we’re not willing to take.
You can’t create an adventure if you’re not along for the ride.
Be in action in your life.
Get on the bus.
Just go.
Trust the bus and test the experience.
p.s. — if you had a previous ride that didn’t create the experience you thought it would, don’t allow that non-existent past be the reason you never get on another bus to test a new adventure.
Is it time for some internal spring cleaning?
I know when I clear out my own limiting beliefs and fears (all of which I invent) I have clarity of purpose and vision.
With clarity of purpose and vision comes a childlike enthusiasm for the adventure that is my life.
With enthusiasm and an adventure map the only thing I need is a sandwich because I’m going to want a snack for the road.
And with food in my belly, there’s literally nothing stopping me.
What adventure awaits you?
