What If You Get It Wrong?

The FINDING True Purpose Workshop shows you to work out what your true purpose is — either by hand on a piece of paper, or letting our AI-assistant Bodhi work it out for you. There is another post that covers what if Bodhi gets it wrong, which you can read about by clicking here. In this post I'd like to cover, what if you get it wrong?

Because what if you do? What if you misinterpret the detailed instructions in our workshops, and do the process wrong, and get your purpose wrong? It can happen. What if your deep subconscious fears get the better of you, and you limit or suppress your own suggestions? That can happen.

Well, let's say you did. Let’s say you created or chose the wrong purpose. That’s not as big a problem as you might think it is, and here’s why: It’s always better to make a wrong decision, than no decision at all, because a wrong decision - no matter how bad it is – still creates change, and change is always good for you.

As long as a person is moving forward in life - even if it's in the "wrong direction" - forward momentum always leads to change, change always leads to growth, growth always leads to evolution, and a person's evolution always brings them back to the right path eventually. It’s like you go off track for a while, get misdirected and a bit lost, but life is setup to ensure you always find your way home.

And how can I be so confident about that? Well, there are two reasons for that.

Reason 1: Your heart will always guide you.
Everyone has a built in emotional compass. Humans will do almost anything to feel good, and avoid almost anything that makes them feel bad.

If you go down the wrong path, it will feel bad. The further you move away from your true direction in life, the worse it will feel. You’ll eventually develop a subtle yet constant nagging dissatisfaction with your current life choices, and feel so bad about it, you’ll snap one day by saying, “Screw this. I can’t do this anymore. I’m going to change!”, and you make a radical change in your life for the better, which puts you back on track.

Reason 2: Your Soul will guide you.

This next idea means we have to get a bit esoteric for a moment, and talk about the Soul - and that is the spiritual (non-religious) version of the Soul. Your Soul is a real force, which I have experienced first-hand during a life-changing out-of-body experience in 2003. I know it exists, I know it’s real, and I know how to tap into it’s power, which I share in level IV of the workshop series.

Your Soul is the higher version or bigger version of you (YOU). It’s YOU, and it has a vested interest in you living the most Adventurous, Talented, Passionate, Understanding, Joyful, Loving life possible - your true purpose.

Consequently, your Soul will do whatever it can to guide you towards whatever circumstances, resources, and opportunities you need, to guide you toward that true purpose. Your Soul’s guidance are the synchronicities of life that seem like “weird” coincidences, but are in fact your Soul placing those circumstances, resources, and opportunities in front of you, to get you to find and live your true purpose in the fastest easiest way possible.

But your Soul can only guide you that way, if you’ve already made a decision, and already moving forward in some direction - right or wrong. It can’t guide you if you’re stuck in indecision, and not going anywhere, because "You cannot steer a parked car!"

That’s why it’s always better to make the wrong decision, rather than no decision at all, because at least a wrong decision gets you moving. As long as you are moving forward - regardless of whether that’s in the right direction or the wrong direction – your Soul can place those synchronicities in front of you, so you “walk into them”. Hopefully you won’t ignore them and “walk past them” like so many people do.

But if you do see them, and you act on them, it will help steer you back on track. Especially if you know how to work with your Soul’s guidance, which I show you how to do in level IV of the workshops.

So, don’t worry about getting your purpose wrong. In some regards, it’s actually easier for your Soul to get you back on track if you're living the “wrong” choice, than it is to get you back on track if you’re living the “right” choice. It’s a classic case of: You cannot know what you want, until you have experienced what you don’t want.
