"It's too BIG!"

..cried a client to me in a private session. He was dismayed at the size of his Life Purpose, and thought he could never, ever accomplish it.

I know that feeling. The one where your stomach does this tightening/rolling/plunging thing. The scared feeling, the one mixed with excitement at first that turns to out and out fear.

Oh yeah.

Here's the good news: Your Life Purpose is NOT too big for you. Though right now you may not see how on earth you're going to actually DO it, you're just the person for the job.

Here's some more good news: the "you" that you are today may well be overwhelmed at the prospect of living a Purposeful life, but the "you" that you're becoming will be able to handle it all.

You see, it's not the "you" of today that will be doing all of whatever it is you're meant to do. It's the "you" that you're becoming just by following the "juice" of your Life Purpose that will be more than capable of completing the tasks you start today.

It's like when you first thought about driving, before you knew how. You had no clue exactly how you were going to do it, but you -knew- that one day you'd be big enough and old enough and such to drive. And now, you're a great driver, I'll bet. Now you can handle all sorts of on-road situations that would have daunted or killed you many years ago when you were inexperienced.

It's the same thing with Life Purpose. To take meaningful action on your Life Purpose today does not require the equivalent of race-car driver skill. You simply start where you are, taking action in the direction of your Grand Passions and Life Purpose.

By the time you get to the point where you need "mad skills" to accomplish your big goals, you will have accrued the necessary experience and resources to handle whatever comes your way with grace and aplomb. This happens quite naturally in the course of Purposeful living.

The moral of today's homily? Dream big, and take action. Leap and the net will appear. You're absolutely capable of handling what comes up in the course of taking your own Purposeful actions.

Put aside your fear and trust that everything will work out brilliantly whilst doing what you can today, and it all WILL work out.

Brilliantly.

Because that's just how the Universe works.

Tra la.
