The days and weeks that followed my sobering lesson have been a good time for evaluating what’s important in my life. Am I connecting regularly with the people I love? Am I making progress on my mission? Am I delivering value in my work? Am I making a difference?

As we start making progress with integrating our shadow, we can expect an expanded sense of freedom as we start letting go of the past narratives that had us believe that life was only a certain way and, more importantly, that we ourselves are only a certain way.

A client of mine recently asked me “what is it to live on purpose?” What I understood him to mean was  how does one live in such a way as to be aligned with a purpose and know when we are off track.

Most people say they want freedom, but what if what’s really holding you back are the beliefs you can’t see? Discover who you truly are.
