I Am Sorry... I Got It Wrong

This quest for figuring out why you are here. This whole 'what is my mission?' What is my Soul Purpose? What am I even doing here? Where do I go next? What do I focus my attention on?
I want to tell you what I am figuring out. I want to be honest with you. More honest than I have ever dared to be...
When I first started out guiding people to uncover their Soul Purpose (yes, I believe we are here for a reason...) I thought - there is ONE reason you are here. And that it was a case of digging deeper to UNCOVER it.
The more work I do on myself (an every day practice) and the more I work with clients - the clearer it is becoming to me.
There isnt ONE reason for you to be here. There are a few. It isnt about UNCOVERING anything. It is about remembering. And, there isnt an end point.
I thought for a while I had it all figured out. And then something else came into my consciousness. I explored that, thought I had it all figured out and guess what? More came into my consciousness.
This is an evolving, unfolding magical experience, where your Purpose becomes clearer and you think you have it, then you detour a bit (throwing you WAY OFF) and are steered back on course (it was never really off course - you just thought you had it all figured out and it didn't go to plan).
You know what? We dont have all the answers and we arent ever going to reach an end point where we will say THIS IS IT.
The journey, as they say, is the exciting bit.
If we can release the thoughts and attachment to having it all figured out - do you know what will happen?
You will feel that peace, happiness, inner joy and energy for your life that you strive for. These things aren't an emotion that you feel and want to keep a hold of. They are a way of being.
Working with people to remember their Soul Purpose is a fascinating journey for me. I am humbled to be accompanying such heart-centred souls on their quest for the truth. Their quest for happiness, joy and peace. When their Purpose begins to become clear, oh my! They transform before my eyes. A bit like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.
One thing I know for sure, when you release all the attachment to everything you have picked up (mostly subconsciously throughout your life) you will feel truly alive. Stripping all that back is where the journey really begins because, when you have all that stuff piled on you, you won't see the truth. Your truth. I know, I have been there and got the I WAS BLINDED t-shirt....
I often thought that to be vulnerable and share as I am doing here and now is not a good thing. I thought I would be judged, criticised and leave myself wide open. For a long time I talked about figuring out your Soul Purpose being a journey with an end to it. Then I experienced more of life and watched my Purpose unfold with a dramatic twist (happy to tell you about this if you fancy having a chat about it...)
And do you know what? I hold my hands up and say - I got it wrong. I am sorry if I mislead you. I am sorry if you felt there was an end to this process. I am sorry if you want there to be an end to the process. There isn't....
Now, with my eyes open. I am taking a more exploratory, playful and soulful approach to my Soul Quest programme and The Soul Work.
Taking people deeper than ever before. Asking those questions that make you stop in your tracks and make your heart race a little more. Pushing you to lean into your vulnerability, your subconscious programming and everything you have experienced in your life (the good, bad and the ugly) to become more soulful, reflective, confident in everything you do and to have a deep sense of knowing of who you are and why you are here.
I would love to hear your thoughts and perspective on this.
And if you want to have a chat about your Soul Purpose. If my new approach resonates with you, schedule a 30 minute call with me here: calendly.com/ginabattye.
I would love to chat with you.
Wishing you a magical day filled with love, laughter and light X
