60-Second Mind Shift: Embracing Purpose Over Fear: Discovering the contribution you are here to make.
Supporting you to free your mind so you can live from your heart!
“I have found a desire to convey music to other people, which is stronger than the worries I had about myself. I have changed from desiring inconsequentiality and anonymity to accepting the joy that comes from knowing that my music changes the world.”
- Giselle Hillyer, The Art of Possibility
Embracing Purpose Over Fear: Discovering the contribution you are here to make.
This quote beautifully illustrates the profound shift that occurs when we move from a mindset of scarcity, smallness and hiding to one of contribution and purpose. Our “monkey mind”—the part of our brain that constantly scans for danger and swings between doubt and worry—urges us to play it safe. Unfortunately, this mindset rarely brings us the results, meaning and fulfillment our soul longs for. Fulfillment comes when we recognize that we are here to make a unique contribution through our gifts, talents and ways of being.
What is your version of “music”?
What, deep down, is the way you know you change the world by your existence? This can be something specific in your work or role—like music, art, or parenting—or it can be a quality of being--like love, joy, appreciation, or compassion--or a combination of both.
For instance, imagine a grocery clerk who understands that their purpose is to share a positive attitude, a warm welcome, with everyone whose groceries they ring up. Their contribution is kindness.
I Affirm: Today I make time to pause and sit quietly for three minutes to reflect on the contribution I make by being alive in the world at this time.
Step By Step,
