A Brighter Purpose

This is my last “official” post as a business owner. I’d like to say it was a painful decision to shutter A Brighter Purpose, but it has been one of the most liberating and hopeful decisions of my life.

After the death of my mother, my understanding of the world around me shifted. My understanding of my purpose shifted even more. I’m unsure where I’ll land and I am thrilled with the uncertainty.

The pursuit of research and writing on the psychology of awe will continue. I plan to partner with a few inspiring places to see where the remainder of my 1,000 conversations derive from.

As I say farewell, I want to thank all of my supporters and clients for their faith in my ability to help them. It was a pleasure serving as a coach and facilitator. Thank you for your trust throughout the years. I will continue to root for you and know that your future is bright when you work toward it.

Nietzsche believed that embracing hardship & suffering was a part of human development. Amor fati is loosely translated as “love of one’s fate” meaning…. loving ALL of it. Whenever you go through something, you get to decide to grow through something. Worthwhile achievements in life might just come through hardship, as he suggested. You just have to be brave enough to embrace the pain as lessons for who you become next. Fulfillment and uniqueness might just be on the other side of your rough patch.

Stop overthinking. Stop over feeling. Stick to your principles because you’re already taking up a great space. Use it wisely.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I love my clients. They are like a tiny army of goodness deploying into the world to make it better. They march out with self-love, confidence, and ability to play well with others. 🌻🌻🌻

Too often we allow our minds to lead us into pain. Sometimes it’s pain in our past. Sometimes it’s longing for something different in the future. Find the stillness of your present moment. Let the light generate from within. Breathe in knowing that that breath is a gift. After all, someone could be taking their last. Don’t choose to remain in darkness. Right now is the moment to choose the light.

Looking for the everyday. Yesterday, it was a snake in a tree 🤷🏻‍♀️

Name something that unites us all.

Volunteerism dates back to medieval times. The benefits are far reaching. One of my favorite benefits is that it can boost happiness! Purpose driven volunteers change their communities. Where do you volunteer?

Anxiety = your mind spending energy on crappy problem solving strategies. Ground your body. Let your beautiful brain use that precious energy with efficiency instead.

Excited to support my friend and colleague ! I’ve got my hands on her book and can’t wait to dive in. Service without sacrifice! It’s an important take on humanitarian efforts when there is so much suffering in the world.

So proud of you Dimple! 💞

Control is an illusion. Adapting to change is a skill that can be learned to overcome triggers. It’s each person’s responsibility.
