It often takes time to find out what our true purpose in life is. Some people know already at early childhood what they want to become. However, for most of us it is a step-by-step process to find out what our heart is calling for.

I recall and embrace those moments of recognition, appearing as a ‘light bulb’ moment, with a clear feeling or vision about the new direction of my life. A feeling that gives a sense of excitement, gratefulness and inner peace.

Stepping Stones

All life experiences, with trial and error, are necessary steps to learn more about who we truly are. Teaching us that what we perceive as obstacles are really stepping stones to move forward. More often than not, radical circumstances encourage us to seriously investigate our life and purpose. As a consequence, we make the necessary changes, which benefit our growth towards becoming the person we are meant to be.

These periods are often marked as highlights in our lives, where we learn to pay more attention to the calling of our heart. A voice within, a silent language that comes in waves of feelings and insights, which motivates us to act upon our inner guidance.

Inner Guidance

A first attempt to act is vital to start the process of manifesting! At the same time it is equally important to do this with a truthful intention and a clear focus. Most likely, you will be challenged during this process. In a way, life is asking: “Is this really what you want?” or “Is the direction you want to go?” It is a necessary part of the process, to learn more about ourselves and to strengthen our confidence. It’s my experience that we are always supported if we follow through on our inner guidance. Different pieces of our life fall into place, and we experience joy and an expansion of energy.

Letting Go

Becoming the best version of yourself includes ‘letting go’ of all that no longer serves you. Your way of thinking, how you respond to life in general and the relationships that do not support your highest good. Also, leaving feelings of anger, jealousy or regret. By letting go of all which is weighing down on you, you gain  strength to shine your brightest light. Letting go is having the courage to accept change and have the strength to move forward. To let go is to set yourself free, which will open doors to new possibilities.

Be honest with yourself, do what feels good to you and connect with the people who respect and support you. Take little steps, which are carefully considered. Creating moments of silence to make a solid progress. Eventually be out in nature and tap in the flow of life, and receive the information which is aligned with the purpose of your soul.

Use Your Talents

Embrace the Journey of your Life! Follow your heart and dreams, they are there for a reason. Make it a practical reality with the skills you have. Use your talents and gifts to create the life you’ve always wanted! Don’t let your dreams go wasted.

When you follow your heart and do what you love doing, you not only brighten your inner world, but also the world around you! You will attract people and situations that enhance your journey. Simultaneously you will become a source of inspiration to others!
