Tell Your Life Purpose Success Story

[soos_mite_ah]

I'm just wondering what you guys are up to and any success stories that are life purpose related. 

[Yimpa]

I recently have been working on facing my internalized transphobia that I’ve  unknowingly had for decades, and I will be transitioning myself in April. A huge chapter in my life will be unfolding, and this process will take years of exploration. I’m open to it!!

Long story short, I’m working on stop hating myself.

Very relatable. I have hated myself for millions of things throughout my entire life.

My most recent success would be using the forgiveness exercise for a traumatic experience from when I was six. My mom judged me very harshly and I ended up unable to trust my impulses. I was afraid of becoming a rapist even though I'm not that kind of person. This required a lot of therapy, but I finally feel like I have part of my life back and the symptoms of PTSD seem to be going away.

I still hate myself for other things though like being unable to turn chess into a career and it makes me feel like a waste of talent. I'm now considering doing math instead and potentially going back to college for complicated reasons.

I walked into a dance studio to learn how to dance. They ended up hiring me the next day. I've been a dance instructor for 6 months now and I am addicted to it.

You must be good. Can you teach how to dance kizomba.

These are mainly “victories” linked to difficulties suffered more than real goals.

My long term goal is to duplicate my neuron count with experimental pharmaceuticals and become an alien consciousness. 🗿

@Jac067 kizomba? I can teach you 😁 I’m from Angola 

[Shakazulu]

@Yimpa I’ve been seeing this guy on my YouTube but I never clicked his videos. Checking it out right now 👍

[trenton]

@MuadDib that looks like a great idea. I haven't tried the upgraded versions of these ai. I should definitely try that for life purpose questions.
