Finding purpose is not all about ascent. We don’t climb the ladder of self-knowing until we arrive at a higher consciousness, a clearer understanding of our way in the world.
Finding your unique work in the world is not the result of manifesting your desires. It’s not the result of higher order awareness.
We must go down.Descend.
Finding our true work is not the skill but behind the skill, not seen in the awards but underneath the awards and accolades, and not in your interests but often in the shadow of your interests. Your work is beneath your ego and deeper than knowing your Enneagram Type or Myers Briggs.
When we descend far enough we don’t find more isolation and more independence; rather, we find that all good work, all calling is fundamentally in service to the whole.
Until our journey descends, we are merely following the pursuits of ego.
Down is where we find our soul. And there we flesh out how our unique work gives life to others.
