“Man in a bowler hat” — Rene Magritte

The one word between us and stuck.

Maybe.

Maybe you’re not stuck.

Maybe you just think you’re stuck.

Maybe what you think is absolutely true is an absolute lie.

Maybe you don’t have to choose between what brings you alive and what keeps you alive.

Maybe you don’t have to choose between what your heart asks and what the world asks.

Maybe you don’t have to choose between serving what you love and serving those you love.

Maybe you don’t have to choose between what brings joy in and what brings money in.

Maybe you don’t have to know exactly what it looks like before you go there.

Maybe it’s impossible to know exactly what it looks like before you go there.

Maybe the whole point is to not know what it looks like before you go there.

Maybe life’s greatest joy is discovering it looks nothing at all like you thought it would before you went there.

Maybe the most practical thing you can do right now is to not be practical.

Maybe the riskiest thing you can do right now is to not take a risk.

Maybe it’s not then, maybe it’s now.

Maybe getting there is going to be messy.

Maybe messy is necessary.

Maybe messy is fun.

Maybe you don’t have to figure it all out first.

Maybe you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Maybe you don’t have to figure it out at all.

Maybe it just gets figured out.

Maybe it’s already figured out.

Maybe your preference isn’t as big, amazing, or as wonderful as what lies ahead once you let your preference go.

Maybe it’s worth falling on your face for.

Maybe it’s worth falling on your face two, three, four or even five times for.

Maybe falling on your face is how you finally find that perfect thing that has always been right in front of it.

Maybe it’s not “I will’, maybe it’s “I am”.

Maybe you’re not stuck.

Maybe you just think you’re stuck.

Maybe you are never stuck.

Maybe thinking you are stuck is one of the many, many, many thoughts you’ll have on the epic journey to discovering what truly brings you alive and living it.

Maybe the next thought on that journey will be the word, “Maybe…”.

Maybe between you and the inspired, magical, awe-filled life that is your birthright to live, is just a simple word.

Maybe…

On Sept. 20–22, in a room in the sky, we’ll discover the possibilities that exist for you on the other side of “Maybe...” Join us: soulpurposenow.com . Where leaders, creators, and dreamers of all kinds, find their next act in purpose, meaning, and impact.
