You can probably sense it, that niggling feeling that you’re meant for more.
More money, sure, but more abundance all around.
More acceptance and self-acceptance. Compassion. And love.
More connection. Self-trust. An unimpeachable sense of worth.
More work you love. Better options. Better offers. Your best life.
More inner wisdom.
And more ease. Joy. Playfulness.
Purpose. Meaning. Confidence. Clarity.
More magic.
But I’ll wager there’s a lingering question.
Just under the surface.
It goes something like this. Do I have what it takes?
If, on the darkest days, that question crosses your consciousness, please don’t worry. You’re not alone. And still, you’re meant for more.
Nobody should miss out on the birthright of their calling.
For me, the magic of my calling came through illness. I’d blundered, with extreme effectiveness, down a number of false starts, earning promotions and even an award or two along the way. And then, blamm-o! I got sick.
I wish I could say I embraced my illness and honored my body’s needs right away. I’d love to tell you I dropped my beliefs about how hard I needed to work in order to prove I had what it takes. But I clung to my workaholism until one practitioner told me to take a year off. Or die.
Bewildered and bedridden, too sick to do it the old way, I began to see how I’d been running as fast as I could in all the wrong directions. When I started to trust my instincts more than my fears, my wild essential self more than what the socially expected, I began to experience the more I was meant for.
Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people discover and experience their own more.
General Operating Instructions
When I say you’re meant for more, you might think I’m talking about your job search – you’re meant for better work – and you’d be right. Or career strategy – you’re meant for bigger dreams. Right again. But with all this talk about more, let’s go bigger. I don’t think it’s too far afield to say that you’re meant for awakening.
Now, I’m not an awakened being and awakening doesn’t come with operating instructions. But I’ve had glimpses, experienced surges of destiny, and I’ve been helping people find and follow their purpose for years.
I’ve got a plan to help you live the more you’re meant for.
I’m leading a little book club to share a wonderful field guide with you. We’ll follow Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening, by best-selling author (and my mentor), Martha Beck, Ph.D. In it, the heroine, Diana, undergoes Seven Tasks of Bewilderment.
One reviewer said, “What I love about this book is that you think you’re reading a grand adventure story, but by the end of the book you realize you’ve been abducted by the genius Martha Beck who has given you a soul transfusion…. I was amazed that a book can be so funny and so enlightening at the same time.”
Here’s the Live the More You’re Meant For Plan:
- Join my 6-week virtual Bewilderment Book Club
- Enjoy the easy, funny, delightful, soul transfusion Diana, Herself and the Seven Tasks of Bewilderment
- Discover yourself and your deeper purpose in a safe, gentle, like-spirited group led by yours truly
Your more is calling you.
I don’t know how yours will come to you. I only know that it will. That it’s whispering, at first, and sometimes shouting your invitations to more.
It may arrive through a yearning, an adventure, a pandemic, an economic downturn, a book club.
When you tune it out, ignore your inner truths, hold to your fears, protect your heart, and cling to familiar comforts, you won’t even hear it.
But if you listen, if you follow some version of the Tasks, if you invite the magic, you’ll begin to hear. The breadcrumbs will line your path with your purpose. With wonder.
With the MORE you’re meant for.
