Why Your Purpose Must Come Before Your Relationship

When we first met, I was sleeping on my sisters sofa.

At that point I had just returned back to the states from a couple solo backpack trips throughout Europe and South America.

Close to a year before then, I had taken a leap in resigning from my nearly decade long successful, but no longer soulfully aligned corporate career.

On the surface it appeared as if I was in a very rocky position.

However deep down I actually felt clearer and happier than I had felt in my entire life up until that point.

I was at the beginning of building something that had been knocking on my hearts door for years prior.

Recognizing and appreciating all the lessons I had learned in my 'previous' life, while at the same time honoring the fact that I was in completely new and uncharted territories.

And although for a period of time I felt alone, I also felt deeply centered and aligned within my purpose, truly embracing where my path was guiding me.

It's been nearly five years since this point of time, and I'm in a completely different position then where I was then.

However one of the biggest lessons I learned prior, and have had the privilege of continuing to be reminded of, is that purpose must come before relationship.

As when that piece in itself serves as the anchor; then more clarity, sense of direction, and authentic happiness is created as a byproduct, for both people. 🙏🏿💜
