WEBVTT - How to Discover Your Purpose

0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.630
<v Speaker 1>You found your way here to waking up with Ryan.

0:00:08.610 --> 0:00:12.950
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad that you pushed play. This is the

0:00:12.990 --> 0:00:16.930
<v Speaker 1>place you and I come to wake up together. So

0:00:17.570 --> 0:00:19.950
<v Speaker 1>let's take a deep breath and begin.

0:00:21.140 --> 0:00:21.860
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, love.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.820
<v Speaker 1>People often ask me, gosh, Ryan, your coaching work, isn't

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that really hard? Like sitting with people all day, every day,

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>talking through and working through.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:41.550
<v Speaker 2>Their really hard life stuff. Like, isn't that really hard?

0:00:41.590 --> 0:00:44.410
<v Speaker 1>Like, almost like they were saying they couldn't understand why

0:00:44.490 --> 0:00:53.130
<v Speaker 1>someone would choose a career path that involved consistently dealing

0:00:53.170 --> 0:00:58.660
<v Speaker 1>with life's most challenging, pressing, painful things.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>And what I want you to understand is....

0:01:03.690 --> 0:01:07.020
<v Speaker 1>Coaching has never been a career for me. It never

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>has felt like work. Sure, it's the work that I've

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>done in the world and that I've gotten paid for.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank God.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it's never been a career. Rather, the

0:01:23.660 --> 0:01:26.630
<v Speaker 1>coaching work has always been an answer to a prayer.

0:01:29.330 --> 0:01:33.170
<v Speaker 1>And the prayer was, use me. Use me, dear God.

0:01:33.490 --> 0:01:34.290
<v Speaker 2>Use me, universe.

0:01:34.310 --> 0:01:38.170
<v Speaker 1>Of course, a miracle says that God works through people.

0:01:39.810 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>That the way the universe becomes active in the world

0:01:43.950 --> 0:01:49.060
<v Speaker 1>in which we live is through you, through me. That

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>we have a choice to utilize free will. You have

0:01:53.820 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a choice to call down, receive life itself to use

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:07.020
<v Speaker 1>you for its intention, which is always the benevolence of

0:02:07.100 --> 0:02:13.210
<v Speaker 1>healing and connection and oneness. It's always the support to

0:02:13.530 --> 0:02:16.950
<v Speaker 1>remember who all of us are. And so coaching for

0:02:17.010 --> 0:02:19.750
<v Speaker 1>me was an answer to a prayer rather than something

0:02:19.810 --> 0:02:23.390
<v Speaker 1>I chose. It was me saying, use me, dear God,

0:02:23.810 --> 0:02:27.750
<v Speaker 1>use me, pour into me. I will do whatever becomes clear.

0:02:27.770 --> 0:02:29.250
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was going to be coaching as

0:02:29.290 --> 0:02:30.310
<v Speaker 1>I've shared with you before.

0:02:33.540 --> 0:02:37.590
<v Speaker 2>Vehicle, the physical means.

0:02:38.790 --> 0:02:44.750
<v Speaker 1>To contain and share this answer to a prayer, which was,

0:02:44.889 --> 0:02:45.870
<v Speaker 1>I want to be used.

0:02:46.230 --> 0:02:47.340
<v Speaker 2>I want to be of service.

0:02:47.910 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to share with people what I have found

0:02:52.380 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>so important for myself. That doesn't mean that you will

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.460
<v Speaker 1>say this prayer and become a coach. You may be

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>an artist. You may be a doctor. You may be

0:03:02.660 --> 0:03:04.940
<v Speaker 1>a writer. You may be an actor. You may be

0:03:04.990 --> 0:03:06.490
<v Speaker 1>a teacher. You may be.

0:03:07.630 --> 0:03:09.850
<v Speaker 2>Somebody who stays home and cares for children.

0:03:11.930 --> 0:03:16.730
<v Speaker 1>The prayer, use me, is one that shifts.

0:03:17.889 --> 0:03:19.870
<v Speaker 2>Your career into a purpose.

0:03:21.190 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Too often, people even come to me to go, I

0:03:24.510 --> 0:03:26.180
<v Speaker 1>want to figure out my purpose. I've been in this

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.260
<v Speaker 1>career for 25 years and I want I'm feeling cold.

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.590
<v Speaker 1>I feel empty in this area of my life, and

0:03:32.610 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling cold to figure out what my purpose is,

0:03:35.730 --> 0:03:37.890
<v Speaker 1>to which I say, stop trying to figure that out.

0:03:39.170 --> 0:03:44.170
<v Speaker 2>Just ask. Two things. Look at what you love. Look

0:03:44.190 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>at what you're genuinely interested in.

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>What are you spending time doing when you're not working,

0:03:50.060 --> 0:03:52.940
<v Speaker 1>when you're not scrolling, when you're not performing your responsibilities?

0:03:53.180 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>What are you naturally drawn to?

0:03:55.220 --> 0:04:01.130
<v Speaker 1>I was naturally drawn to Personal development, spirituality, meditation, Eastern wisdom,

0:04:01.230 --> 0:04:03.070
<v Speaker 1>biblical texts.

0:04:03.090 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm naturally.

0:04:04.570 --> 0:04:07.380
<v Speaker 1>Drawn to in the same way that I was naturally

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.260
<v Speaker 1>drawn to dance, to music, to art, which was my

0:04:10.300 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>former career. What are you naturally interested in? And then, okay,

0:04:17.140 --> 0:04:21.710
<v Speaker 1>you're in a universe. You have assigned me with this interest,

0:04:22.150 --> 0:04:27.710
<v Speaker 1>with this passion. Use me for its sharing with the world.

0:04:28.330 --> 0:04:30.950
<v Speaker 1>In this way, you say that prayer over and over

0:04:31.029 --> 0:04:33.930
<v Speaker 1>and over and over and over again for as long

0:04:33.970 --> 0:04:38.070
<v Speaker 1>as it takes. And you will see to the degree

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>to which you are willing to continue asking with dedication,

0:04:43.460 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>with openness, with genuine willingness.

0:04:48.900 --> 0:04:50.540
<v Speaker 2>Show me, use me.

0:04:52.180 --> 0:04:54.339
<v Speaker 1>You will see the way it manifests in your life.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.740
<v Speaker 1>I have no doubt Why do I have no doubt?

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.260
<v Speaker 1>Because it's happened for me a million times. And I

0:05:00.339 --> 0:05:04.140
<v Speaker 1>am certainly no different from you. I am certainly no

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>more connected to God than any other human, animal, plant.

0:05:10.230 --> 0:05:14.690
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I came into this work with so much resistance.

0:05:17.010 --> 0:05:19.230
<v Speaker 1>The fact that you're even listening to this podcast proves

0:05:19.270 --> 0:05:22.789
<v Speaker 1>to me that you're way further along than I ever was.

0:05:23.490 --> 0:05:25.030
<v Speaker 2>So all you got to do is ask consistently.

0:05:27.220 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And trust that your purpose will reveal itself to you

0:05:31.670 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>in perfect timing.

0:05:35.410 --> 0:05:42.270
<v Speaker 2>So let's close our eyes for a moment. And take

0:05:42.310 --> 0:05:43.150
<v Speaker 2>a few deep breaths.

0:05:49.430 --> 0:05:51.850
<v Speaker 1>And firstly, I just want you to ask yourself this

0:05:51.930 --> 0:05:59.210
<v Speaker 1>question and see what arises. What in my life already

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:09.500
<v Speaker 1>is an answer to a prayer? Just notice what arises.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:20.530
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps that's a home, a person, an opportunity, a vacation,

0:06:20.550 --> 0:06:30.310
<v Speaker 1>an animal, What already in your life is an answer

0:06:30.450 --> 0:06:37.230
<v Speaker 1>to a prayer that you've prayed? And where is it

0:06:37.290 --> 0:06:46.510
<v Speaker 1>now that you're wanting more clarity on your purpose? Even

0:06:46.589 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>wanting more opportunity to express your purpose in a way

0:06:54.380 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>that's abundant for you. and repeat after me, dear universe,

0:07:05.020 --> 0:07:15.510
<v Speaker 1>use me, take a breath, use my mind, use my hands,

0:07:17.150 --> 0:07:29.330

0:07:29.370 --> 0:07:38.340
