You're Right Where You Need To Be

I don’t know who needs to read this, but let me tell you something about destiny. The factors in the world are always supporting you in living out your destiny. The world desperately wants you to maximize your impact and contribution to others. However, it’s often beyond our awareness to know that it’s happening for us.?

Tragedy strikes and it’s nearly impossible to realize how it’s in your best interest. You keep struggling with the same personal problems and feel embarrassed that you just can’t get your act together, but the struggle is part of your destined growth process. You’re surrounded by injustices, unfairness, and inequities but somehow, it offers the exact perspective you need to prepare you for what’s next.

The universe doesn’t make mistakes - you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. And I believe that’s because, whatever you’re going through, it puts you in a position to be more helpful toward other people going through something similar. Rory Vaden says “you are most qualified to help the person you once were.”?

Personal tragedy, addiction, financial hardship, unhealthy relationships, health issues, everything is all part of your lived experience for a reason. It’s what you’re meant to go through to live out your destiny.

In the iconic book “The Alchemist”, author Paolo Coehlo calls this the process of “living out your personal legend”. It’s impossible to know how the dots are going to connect, but you must have faith that ultimately they do. And when you do believe that, it infuses your life with hope, possibility, and purpose. It turns your mess into your message, pain into promise, and wakes up your spirit.

So rather than judging that you’re falling behind, caught in the same unhealthy habits and patterns, struggling in the same areas, realize there’s a reason for it. You can’t have a story of overcoming if you have nothing to overcome. So absolutely, do the work to change your life and break-free of the things that are holding you back from your fullest potential! And know that it’s the process you discover along the way that becomes your best guidance to help others.

You, me, everybody - we’re right where we need to be. That’s not to say that we need to stay there, but it helps us accept that we’re exactly where we need to be to start.

Having found yourself right here, right now... If you’re looking for a place to start, I’ve got this for you.
