Heeding The Voice of Authenticity, IV
Struggles & Pain-Points
Welcome back to this 12-part series of Journal Prompts to help you hear your Authentic Inner Voice and find your Calling and Purpose. If you have missed the introduction in Part I, you can find and read it here.
4. What Were/Are Your Greatest Struggles & Pain-Points in Life?
Our particular challenges and pain-points are typically showing us where we decided to grow some extra ‘muscle’, where we signed up to develop extra strength and cultivate our gifts.
Especially those of us who feel called towards a life of ‘being of service’ tend to sign up to often very painful and challenging life lessons. Behind the struggle and difficulties, however, hide our Calling and Purpose; by looking at that which we have overcome, and that which we are still overcoming, we can often gain a pretty clear perspective of the gifts and strengths we are here to share with the world.
Often, we have to pass through the fires of trials and tribulations to forge the strong core that will allow us to step into our ‘superpowers’ and assist others in developing the courage and confidence to do the same… The greatest and most effective ‘Teachers’ are those who walk their talk into embodiment and can lead and inspire by example.
Journal Prompts:
make a list of your greatest struggles and pain-points throughout your life (e.g. a feeling of not belonging or fitting in; addictions; powerlessness; lack-mentality; co-dependencies; illness or disabilities…)
how have these challenges affected you?
where in your life are they still showing up, and how?
distill these pain-points into their core-themes/underlying beliefs (e.g. lack of trust or abundance, unlovable, unworthy, not good enough, abandonment, life is hard, too sensitive…etc.)
These are the Themes you came here to master - and quite likely, assist others in navigating through if you feel called to serve.
In the next blog post we will take a deeper look at who we have become because of our struggles, and discover the gifts and strengths we have developed…
Join me in the following Posts in this 12- step series, where we will continue unveiling the layers to reveal the beautiful, unique expression of our most Authentic Self…
