Pursuit of Purpose

Going on long drives with my partner is kind of our way of getting away from the world and attempt to gain some perspective. Giving ourselves room to get a birds eye view of our current state of being. Asses and dig into what walls we have began to put up. What lies are we telling ourselves. Kate and I are just rounding the first small corner on our dream seeking journey. Gaining perspective seems necessary to make sure you aren’t headed in the wrong direction.

She mentioned in the car about, Liz Bohannon. A podcast where she spoke about not playing passive in this pursuit. I am not sure that I have been passive. I would say that I always imagined that I would walk through the door if it was presented to me. The, “if its meant to happen it’ll happen” thought process. So here we are, on the cusp of the beginning of our pursuit in a life driven by purpose and not career. I’d say that we have always tended to take the road least traveled.

Becoming an artist has been an on going choice. It is only in the last few years that I have become more serious about it being a profession. If it was meant to happen was choosing to put myself out there. Choosing the next right step. I would also have to express that choosing it is easy when you are surrounded by other people with the same sense of direction as you. When you are surrounded by people who also take the road less traveled. Those willing to take a leap of faith in the idea that they were meant for more than what “success” means to societies distorted vision.

Pursuit of purpose is choosing to be more, choosing to live a more intentional life.

We all have leaps of faith, and choices to make. Choose the worth of yourself, choose the you that you dreamed up as a child, choose the worth of your purpose.

The pursuit of purpose is being brave.
