Find Yourself Again. And again...

We all struggle from time to time with our purpose on this earth. It's natural and normal and the contributing factors of stress, work, career, finances, family, politics (dare I say it but it's true) and other ideologies try to keep us from focussing on what matters most: PRESENCE.

I started my career in sales and marketing and quickly, I left to create my own strategic marketing agency. I recently in the past year returned to work with some larger companies, while still hosting amazing endeavors on my own and I'm loving every second of it. I'm calling it a social experiment. Life is a social experiment. We either play or get played. For me, my twists and turns have been interesting and lovely. I've written books, hosted events, worked with TEDx, owned a Pilates studio, I'm a yoga teacher... the list goes on. I love the idea of presence and my passion meter is high, baby!

Here's what I want you to know about your purpose: You owe no one an explanation for your path. NO ONE.

The truth is, most people won't understand you if you're different because they're so damn inside the box that their radar doesn't comprehend beyond the norm, but YOU CAN.

You're not lost, you're simply finding yourself again. It takes time.

Finding your purpose is like the perennial plant. It blooms in spring and remains through fall and then... roots go dormant. Ever feel like your passion has gone dormant? I bet! Me too! But not for long.

You see, the perennial has roots that go inside to plan, to think and to deliver again. You are no different than mother nature's flower, my dears.

The next time you feel like your purpose or your passion is lost, simply be a perennial plant. Let your roots be silent and still and in that stillness, find hope, faith, patience and belief in yourself. And then, soon, you too will spring again with a green leaf of inspiration to bloom.

Here are some rituals to consider when you're finding yourself again:

-Dream until its true

-Love yourself more

-Let regrets become the past

-Risk deeply

-Jump in

-Rest

-Think bigger - BEYOND

-Try something new

-Test a new hobby/resurface an old one

You're not lost, my darling. You're just a perennial. Remember that!

KEEP GOING!
