I've heard it said that everyone in their life will experience an existential experience or "crisis" if you will.
And they can often come about because of a significant event in someone's life. For me, it was turning 40!
I've had loss. Death of loved ones, divorce, downturn in business, 9 failed IVF cycles - these were the big ones for me. After all, life is full of hardships and heartbreaks. But I've also have some triumphs too. I've had my fair share of both career and business success, found my "Mr Right" and even had our beautiful little boy - TJ.
Maybe it was the culmination of everything (the "good" and the "bad") in life that I reflected on after turning 40.
But, the thing that stood out the most was how after all the things I'd been chasing in my life, there was no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Every time I would "beat the odds" and get what I set out to create, it was never enough. I was still without fulfilment.
So, at 40, I was left feeling "is this all there is!?"
The BEST gift ever!
I feel as if I have had the gift of waking up more than ever. And with it, the realisation that it's time to live out my purpose. To stop running from it and to own it.
