Today’s Wisdom
It is not an absence of purpose but our failure to listen and respond to it that leaves us lost.
Read time: 6 minutes.
This is your permission to pause and take a little time for yourself.
I’m incredibly excited and honoured to share with you my all new On Purpose interview with Oprah.
There are so many huge moments in this conversation, but one thread runs through all of them: everything that has happened in Oprah’s life, and, I believe, in all of our lives, is shaped by how we listen and respond to the deeper callings.
Sometimes we pause and reflect.
Sometimes we stop doing something that no longer serves us.
Sometimes we follow an entirely new path and do something more.
What guides us, in the end, is our willingness to listen.
“I've been led by, I would say, the hand of God—by divine guidance—my whole life, and I've been trying to listen to it, listen to it, listen to it. Follow the path that has been laid for me. … And every time I made a mistake, it’s ‘cause I didn’t listen.”
- Oprah Winfrey
I share with her during our conversation that ignoring those calls can feel a little like hitting the snooze button on your inner voice. The alarm does not disappear because you are not ready to get up. It keeps returning. You can delay the response, try to shut it off, or just start to let it hum in the background, but the calling itself will find a way of coming back until you decide to get up.
I would love for you to listen to this episode. There is so much wisdom in it, and all of it seems to point in one clear direction: Are you listening for the calling in your life, and how will you respond?
Love,
Jay ❤️
