And when I say you shouldn’t ignore, I MEAN IT! The whole world depends on people like you. We are all important in a different way, but you are a key piece of the puzzle!
A fellow friend who is positively changing the world, has analyzed cases and cases of people they’ve worked with. They discovered common signs among people who have that spark deep inside to do something ‘bigger’ on this planet.
PurposeFairy has compiled a list of IMPORTANT signs people who are meant to do something ‘bigger’ on this planet experience.
Here is what they say:
Iâve known since I was very young that I was destined for big things. I mean really. The first thing I knew I wanted to be when I grew up was the Easter Bunny. And Iâm Jewish. Now as you cut through your giggles, hereâs what Iâm pretty sure I actually meant by that: I knew from very early on that societal constraints and rules didnât really mean anything.
I could be and do anything I wanted. And then I found road blocks; or maybe just the speed bumps of life. I kept reaching for more, but encountered fear, doubt, challenging situations, and naysayers. Thankfully, I never stopped believing.
And Iâm definitely not alone. This beautiful planet is crawling with those of us who want to make a difference; who know we are capable of anything.
Some of us are there living it fully, some are in the midst of the dance of taking a few steps forward and a couple of steps back, and others are just beginning to wake up to the realization that this knowing has been inside of them all along, and itâs time to do something about it.
But no matter where you are, fear not. Often itâs just the stuff we think gets in our way thatâs actually supporting us in getting there!
So, to prove it to you, Iâve compiled 7 signs that point out the likelihood that youâre probably meant for something bigger; and that youâre destined to get there.
1. You suck at working for other people.
Youâre a born leader and you know it. Or maybe you donât know it. But either way, youâre just NOT into doing things that arenât catalyzing big change. You feel stuck working for others. You want freedom, flexibility, creativity, and expansion, and you just donât feel you can fully achieve that while working for someone else. You know that your vision is worth something, and that getting to apply ALL of your gifts is the only way youâll be fully satisfied.
2. You tend to put things off until youâre really inspired.
So you call yourself a procrastinator. There is such a thing as self sabotaging procrastination, but if youâre meant for something bigger (which, if youâre reading this, I have a sneaking suspicion you are), there will also be times when you believe you must get something done because thatâs what you think is going to get you from point A to point B.
But what if you actually thrive off of inspiration, versus obligation? You deserve to be able to evaluate which is true for you in each moment. Is fear holding you back from chipping away at your to-do list? Or is it because youâre lacking inspiration. If itâs the latter, trust that doing exactly what youâre inspired to do is leading you to where you need to be. Often that inspiration knows more than we do about whatâs really possible.
3. As a kid you thought adults who wore suits and went off to work were crazy.
Youâve always known somewhere deep within you that there was more to life than living a cookie-cutter, safe, pragmatic lifestyle. You knew you could have a bigger impact on the world if you did it your way, and that your way would involve more freedom and flexibility than those crazy adult-types had. And now, whether youâve fully achieved it yet or not, you know that that feeling you had as a kid is utterly true. Youâve witnessed and felt what itâs like to live just as much on purpose in your flip flops as you have your business suit.
4. You love what you do so much youâd do it for free.
Hereâs the irony â you deserve to know your value, and the more you begin to charge your full value for the contribution youâre making to the world, the more value those you serve will actually receive. However, you know youâre on purpose and meant to do big things when you love what you do so much that while youâre doing it money is not even on your mind.
5. Youâre an idealist. You see the world at its best, and will stop at nothing to get there.
When I was a kid I used to get called an âidealistâ all the time. At first I thought it was a compliment. Iâd think ‘yeah thatâs right, it is possible for the world to be that loving and amazing’. Then, toward early adulthood I began to get triggered by the word, as if people were saying that I couldnât actually achieve that; that the world wasnât actually supposed to be the amazing place I knew it could be. Now, I could care less what people think or call me. My name is Jordanna, and I am an idealist. By living in my own little world of my vision and my creations, my personal world often actually appears as âidealâ as I know one day the entire world can be. So really, who cares whatâs true and whatâs not if Iâm having fun and serving others while doing it? Being an idealist doesnât make you crazy, it makes you a creator.
6. You canât always say how you know things, but sometimes you just âknowâ.
Visionaries donât usually get their visions from whatâs outside of them or from what the world tells them they should create. They get their visions from an internal drive to create what feels right for them. That âknowingâ of what they need to create goes hand in hand with a knowing of all sorts of things. Call it intuition, call it gut feeling, call it spidey senses. If you are meant for something bigger in this world, that knowing will keep speaking up and asking you for what it wants. So really, creating big things is not an option when itâs your destiny. At least, thatâs what Iâm pretty sure your spidey senses would tell you.
7. Youâre more frustrated by having too many ideas than you are by not having any at all.
You tend to get inspired easily. In fact, the more awesome your life becomes, the more inspired YOU become. But sometimes itâs a bit of a conundrum. You know youâre meant to create big things, but if youâre not careful you can allow yourself to get stopped up by ALL of the things you want to create, without actually getting anything done. Donât let this get to you. Be grateful that youâre so full of awesome ideas. If youâre not sure where to start or what to focus on, call upon some support. But donât let your plethora of visions within your vision get in the way.
âBe not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.â â William Shakespeare
One of the most important signs is actually this:
You feel things. Big time.
Most of the clients that I work with and are meant for big things in the world tend to feel pretty deeply. You may not have been taught that itâs okay to feel. You may have been taught, in fact, that your feelings will get in the way of being awesome. Well, letâs reframe that. Sometimes our feelings are your TRUTH. Your ability to be big, and contribute to the world in a huge way is dependent upon your truth. So allow your feelings to show up, and to guide you to where you need to be. Your creations depend upon it.
And hereâs the caveat, I actually believe that weâre ALL meant for big things if we allow ourselves to listen to the stirring of our soul. When we let go of âperfect timingâ, and recognize that âtoo lateâ does not exist, it becomes easier to allow that stirring to become a rising up of awesome.
Iâve coached 13 year olds and 70+ year olds into living their visions. If they can do it, so can you. What other signs have you seen show up in your life that are calling you to something bigger?
