? When Identity and Actions Collide: What happens when you abandon your purpose ?

Nine years ago, I began a journey that profoundly reshaped my life, one that didn’t just teach me a skill, but transformed me at the core of my being. Under the guidance of my beloved master, C. V. Patel, I discovered the art of Ancient Bodywork, a practice that healed me, gave me purpose, and enabled me to heal others.

This wasn’t just a career, it became my calling. It became the foundation of who I am.

?? The Highs of Living with Purpose The most fulfilling moments of my life were spent in bodywork sessions with my clients. Every time my hands connected with someone in need, I felt the deep sense of alignment that comes when you know you’re living your truth. There was no question, this was my purpose, and I was meant to serve through it.

But as life would have it, something shifted.

?? The Moment of Doubt As my master’s time on this earth began to draw to a close, I started questioning everything. Was bodywork really my path? Could I pursue something else that seemed more financially stable or externally successful? In that moment, I didn’t realize it, but I began abandoning the very thing that had shaped my identity for years.

I thought I could leave bodywork behind, treating it as a hobby while chasing new opportunities. But in doing so, I unknowingly began playing with the foundation of my identity—my purpose.

?? The Price of Straying from Purpose And then, the unthinkable happened. My master passed away. My world crumbled, and what followed was not just grief, but an overwhelming sense of loss. The anchor that had kept me grounded was gone. The work that once brought me meaning and fulfillment now felt hollow.

I soon realized that when we abandon our true calling, it’s not just the work we lose — it's a piece of ourselves. The people who once supported me began to drift away, I felt rejected and abandoned by them not because they didn’t care, but because they subconsciously saw I was no longer living in alignment with my truth. I became disconnected from myself and the world around me.

?? The Revelation: Identity and Purpose Must Align This period of struggle taught me one of the most valuable lessons of my life: Identity and purpose are not things we can put on pause. They are not things we can abandon when the going gets tough. True fulfillment comes when our actions align with who we are at the deepest level. Anything else will leave us feeling lost and unfulfilled.

?? Returning to My Roots As I took the time to reflect and heal, it became undeniable: my life’s purpose is deeply intertwined with the legacy of the bodywork my master passed down to me. This work is not just a skill; it’s a way of living that connects me to my roots, to ancient wisdom, and to something much greater than myself.

?? The Power of Realignment Now, as I wholeheartedly embrace this sacred work again, I’m rediscovering not just a practice, but a path toward grace, fulfillment, and transformation. I’m reconnecting with my calling and in doing so, I’m ready to open myself to new opportunities, collaborations, and connections that will help others align with their purpose too.
