Have you ever been at that point in your life where everything seems to go well, then all of a sudden, it just doesn’t feel right anymore?

This is something that has come up to me as I was looking back at my journey for the last couple of years. I’m blessed to have a beautiful family, career, business, and a whole lot of opportunities that have helped me along the way.

But once you realize that some of the great things you have in your life aren’t aligned with your purpose anymore, do we have the willingness to let go of it? Do you take the risk of going on another journey not knowing if everything will work out?

These questions led me to connect with my walking partner for today, Corey Blake.

Notable Quotes

“Some of these challenges are so big that they certainly can feel overwhelming and we can't tackle all of them. If we all cared about the thing I care about the most, who would care about all the other things? And they would just fall apart. We have that natural human desire for the thing that matters most to us, to matter to everyone else. The arrogance that I have to look squarely in the face when I’m inclined to rescue that asks me, who am I to think that my solution is appropriate for this person? What if they manifest what’s appropriate for them? What would it look like for me to be a support mechanism for that, so they can become more of themselves as opposed to me thinking they should be more like me?” - Corey (44:12)
“If we have the ability to create more healing and wholing within ourselves, the medicine that that provides to the collective is something that is immeasurable. We’ve got the collective purpose, which is how do we, in any way that we choose to, share that with the world? And then we’ve got this other kind of like, for the sake of humanity healing that we’re doing by working through our journeys in this way. Because that now creates the possibility. Roger Bannister breaks the 4-minute mile after nobody else had ever done it, and then look at the next couple of years and people are breaking it left and right because now it’s a possibility. If we create that healing and wholing within ourselves, even if it’s not published around the world like the 4-minute mile, it creates the energetic possibility now for others. It creates a blueprint, which however we do it, somehow we connect to it.” - Luke (1:07:49)
