Put Purpose in the driver's seat

Put purpose first. That's the key to Finding your Truth.

Throughout my journey of finding my own Truth, I have concluded that defining my purpose is what motivates me to do good every day.

I became bogged down by my constant poisonous thought and needed to make a change. My counselor gave purpose to our meetings by starting each session with asking what my Truth was. I struggled for months and never knew what to tell her. I soon realized, I didn't need to tell her anything, I had to tell myself. The journey was mine, she was just there to help guide me.

She gave me tools like mindfulness activities that allowed me to focus on this mission. I became aware of how things made me feel because for so long, I spent all my effort on trying NOT to feel anything. I started feeling sadness, and stress. I felt joy for the first time in too long. And feeling these feelings was a refreshment. I felt human again.

It took work. It took commitment. It took the willingness to look within and want to change for the better.

I found more than my Truth. I found a life worth living for. I found a loving man who will marry me this year. I found a passion and a fire that encourages me every day. I found the ability to feel truly happy and complete. The best thing of all... I found my purpose for life. I put it first and changed my life.

I encourage you to do the same thing. I hope the resources that I have provided for you allow you to Find your Truth and your purpose.

Now, get out there and enjoy life.

Sincerely,

Amanda
