When you start embracing your life’s purpose, moving in alignment with your mission, sharing your message with passion, you start small. There’s a good chance you’ve already been doing the work you’ve been called to do. God is like that.
God will put you in situations where you can recognize and exercise your special gifts and abilities which are all a part of your unique and individual calling. Ask yourself these 5 questions:
5 Questions to Ask Yourself
1. Do you feel like you just don’t fit in?
If you’re feeling like you just don’t fit in with the rest of society, it is likely that you are marching to a different drummer because you are called to a special purpose with a unique counter-culture message and mission.
No matter how hard you try to cover it up, play nice, and blend in with your peers, something inside you knows this is not the life you came here to live. There is something more. So much more, and it is calling you out.
Sure, you can push it down and cover it up, just like you have in the past, and don’t worry about it too much because God still wants to accomplish this thing, and if you refuse to embrace your calling, God will find someone else. Your right to choose is always honored. You are blessed for all your decisions, and never judged.
2. Are certain people with similar problems drawn to you for support?
If you are seeing a distinct pattern in the types of people with particular problems drawn to you, that’s like the Cosmic Director shining a spotlight on you, and sometimes you get the idea of this being your calling, other times not so much.
Why?
Mostly because you second guess yourself, feel inadequate or let that inner voice do whatever it can to talk you out of it. You’ll find some reason that you’re not good or worthy enough to accomplish the work you are being called to.
Yet, all the while, you are still attracting these people to you (who while they come to you for advice, they do not honor you fully for your gift and abilities because you haven’t fully embraced them).
3. Do you find yourself in recurring problematic scenarios?
You may be a problem-solver with world-transforming potential but resign yourself to just being good at your job, or lucky when you step into uncomfortable situations which resolve positively.
You just accept your ability but humbly downplay your potential impact for the greater good because you lack self-confidence or are shy.
Or maybe you find yourself in these situations but refuse to do the work of learning to move through these challenges for your own benefit, as well as being able to help others to do likewise. If this is your choice, it is like that you will continue to find yourself in these circumstances, until you do.
You are potentially a game-changer, not just for your local community but the world at large.
4. Are there things happening in the world that upset you more than others?
You may have been called to be a warrior or champion, standing up for the rights of others, or defending those who are unable to defend themselves.
5. Do you see things differently from other people?
Those whose things differently from their peers are the visionaries, the people who have been called to challenge our belief systems, to break us free from the societal trance the rest of us have fallen victim to,
Again, you let the doubts of your insecurities keep you from moving forward.
Yet, all these types of people who struggle with this inner conflict are drawn to me. This is my calling.
Maybe it’s time for you to come out of the shadows and embrace the life you were blessed to be called to.
I have a gift which allows me to see glimpses of you at your highest and best, and I am unlikely to let you know what I see because to do so would only break your heart if you continue to stand in your own way, preventing you from embracing all you were meant to be, enjoy, live your best life and make the world a better place.
On the other hand, if you are ready to go, and give it all you’ve got, I will be there with you every step of the way.
