Greetings, esteemed tribe member. 

Welcome to another remarkable week! It fills my heart with joy to have you with us once again, and I am particularly excited that this week has finally arrived. 
The Purpose Reset is upon us! This is the week when we will undergo significant transformation, silence the distractions, and gain profound clarity. 
I trust you have registered for this transformative experience. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to do so immediately as registration closes today. 
This virtual event is an opportunity you cannot afford to overlook, and today presents yet another chance for you to secure your spot. Do not delay, register now! 
I am particularly enthusiastic about today’s focus on purpose. This topic is crucial, as many individuals mistakenly believe that if something is genuinely “their purpose,” it should always feel effortless and joyful. 
This misconception leads many to ponder, “Why does living my purpose sometimes feel so challenging?” The truth is, we are all wired to seek ease and comfort.

There exists a pervasive myth that once you discover your true purpose, everything will seamlessly fall into place, filled with joy and devoid of challenges. But really, who says that? 
The reality is far more complex. Purpose demands hard work! It entails sacrifice, commitment, and unwavering dedication. It often requires more from you than you initially believed you could give. 
Living with purpose is not a smooth journey. Many envision purposeful living as a leisurely drift down a tranquil river. Every commitment to purpose comes with a price. 
However, when many encounter obstacles, or challenges, they begin to question their path: “Am I truly on the right track? Did I miss my calling?” 
The truth is that purpose and pain frequently coexist. Facing challenges on your journey toward fulfilling your purpose does not signify that you have strayed from your path. 
Instead, these trials may serve as tests, reaffirming that you are indeed on the right course, and that despite the difficulties, you remain grounded. 
The essence of purpose is that it is not always comfortable. It challenges you, demanding more than you believed you could give; your time, resources, energy, and everything in between. 
At times, it may thrust you into situations where you feel ill-equipped, unprepared, or even overwhelmed. However, this does not signify that you are straying from your path; rather, it often indicates that you are precisely where you need to be. 
Regardless of how you feel or when you doubt your capacity to continue, remember that God’s profound grace is available to you. 
In those moments, it becomes less about your own abilities and more about the divine empowerment that enables you to persevere, even when motivation wanes. 
Purpose necessitates unwavering commitment and sacrifice. Consider the parent nurturing a child with love, who endures sleepless nights, stress, and personal sacrifice. 
Similarly, a leader striving to create something meaningful faces criticism, pressure, and doubt, often lacking the support they desperately need. 
Moreover, an individual dedicated to serving others in a fractured world will likely confront resistance, challenges, and discomfort. 

Does the presence of pain indicate that they are outside their purpose? Absolutely not. It signifies that their purpose is profound enough to demand endurance, which cannot be avoided

Purpose will stretch you, cost you, and may even break you before it ultimately builds you. Pain is not an indication that you are off course; more often, it is a sign that you are being refined for greater depth and impact. 
It’s a price you must pay for the journey ahead of you. Growth necessitates discomfort, and service requires sacrifice. The pursuit of meaning is rarely glamorous; it can be arduous and demanding. 
Consider athletes, artists, parents, and leaders; the most purposeful endeavors they undertake often come with pain, yet the resulting rewards make the struggle worthwhile. 
If your purpose feels burdensome at times, remember that this heaviness is a natural part of the journey. It serves as a testament to the significance of your mission. 
The challenges you face are not mere obstacles; they are transformative experiences that prepare you for greater endeavors. 
Pain is not a form of punishment in your journey of purpose; rather, it is a catalyst for growth. Many individuals have discovered their true calling through adversity. 
It is often through challenges that clarity emerges, revealing what truly matters and what can be set aside. The trials you endure sharpen your focus and illuminate your path. 
Moreover, pain fortifies your character. The challenges encountered along your journey cultivate resilience, courage, and tenacity, qualities essential for sustaining your purpose over time. 
These experiences not only strengthen you but also deepen your capacity for empathy. The trials you navigate equip you to connect with others on a more profound level. 
When your purpose feels painful, it does not signify a deviation from your path; rather, it often indicates that you are being refined for a more significant impact. 
Many resist pain, having been conditioned to believe that happiness and comfort are the ultimate goals of life. However, purpose transcends mere happiness; it encompasses meaning, contribution, impact, and transformation. 
And transformation invariably demands sacrifice and unwavering commitment. You can’t take the path of purpose without the willingness to pay the price. 
Consider the metaphor of a seed: it must rupture its shell to sprout. A butterfly must struggle to emerge from its cocoon, developing the strength necessary for flight. Growth without discomfort is a myth. 

If you find yourself in a season where your purpose feels particularly heavy, keep these reminders in mind: 
First of all, reframe your pain. Assign a more constructive meaning to your current experiences. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” shift your perspective to, “What is this shaping me into? 
What lessons is this season imparting?” Embrace the discomfort as a vital part of your journey toward fulfillment and impact. 
Remember the significance of the fruit of your journey. This is crucial because every sacrifice linked to your purpose yields something meaningful, both within you and in those around you. 
Maintain a clear vision of the larger picture. While you focus on your future goals, never lose sight of the reasons that inspired you to pursue this purpose in the first place. 
Embrace the power of community. Throughout our journeys, we all require support. The weight of purpose can be overwhelming at times, but you need not bear it alone. Be discerning in recognizing those whom God has placed in your life. 
Pay attention to relationships that define your destiny. The individuals God has surrounded you with can significantly ease your journey. 
Seek out those who believe in you and the mission entrusted to you, and who are willing to support you in every possible way. Find those who remind you of your initial inspiration. 
If you find yourself feeling stretched, pressured, or even broken along your path, take heart and find encouragement. That pain does not signify that you have strayed from your purpose. 
More often than not, it is evidence that your purpose is profoundly significant, demanding sacrifices along the way. 
Remember, pain does not negate your calling; at times, it affirms it. Do not lose sight of what you hold in your hands due to the temporary challenges you face. With time, things will improve.
