If you have a new calling – a big calling…
Something that feels like your life’s calling…
Chances are, you’re someplace on the return journey home in the hero’s journey.
The old doesn’t have much energy anymore (which could be your old business, old products, old clients, old ways of working, etc.).
And that new vision and calling is vibrant, exciting, and potent (well, that, and unfamiliar, disorienting, confusing, risky, etc.).

As courageous messengers, part of our soul’s yearning is to be explorers, so that we discover new solutions that our market and this world is hungry for.
As part of that call, we’re regularly pulled to explore different fields of study, get trained in seemingly disparate modalities, visit interesting places… each informing us and adding different colors to the palate with which we can create.

Last week I shared about the return journey home on the hero’s journey, and how so many of us struggle with the “refusal of the return.”

Perhaps making the return journey home is something you do more for yourself than anyone else.

It’s when you have the elixir from ‘facing the dragon’ (facing your deepest wounds) on your journey…

And the elixir feels so good that you just want to bathe in it and hang out with other elixir-holders!

Just like there’s a deeper cause to the symptom, there’s a deeper mission hidden under the solutions you provide.

Over the last couple of years I have slowly but surely dismantled the old business model I had, and I’ve been in the process of recreating.

When I’m in a recreation process, I tend to have big emotional waves…

I’ve always appreciated that phrase that we’re all walking each other back home. The other day while talking with a colleague, she mentioned offhandedly that all of her clients/audience are existentially ‘homeless’.
That idea struck a chord with me because the people in my community have a shared wound around belonging. It’s that raw human place of not feeling like we have a home in the world (or in ourselves).

There are groups of people on the planet that share planetary missions… and the people that are most purposeful for you to work with are those that share a mission with you.

Am I the only one? Maybe not. Is my neighbor the one to do their thing? Yes. And is it true that I am the one to do my thing? Yes, absolutely.

If you’re truly on the path of answering your calling, it will stretch you.

Over and over again.

Because every calling vibrates at the frequency of unity consciousness, which rattles the conditioned self.

This is an invitation to bless all things.

Everything becomes blessed by blessing what is…

By claiming that all things are well… even when we don’t know how that’s true.

A number of years ago, I interviewed a guy named Stephen Goldstein. He’s a former Sr. Producer for Oprah and a former congressional lawyer who regularly put people on the stand in front of the Senate.
Over time he started to see that what made someone a great guest on Oprah were the same things that would make them highly effective on the stand in front of congress.
