YOUR VOICE, YOUR POWER

PURPOSE DOESN’T WHISPER

People say they’re waiting to hear their purpose. As if purpose is shy. As if it’s hiding. As if it hasn’t been knocking this whole time.

Here’s the truth they don’t like to admit: Purpose doesn’t whisper — we ignore it.

Purpose speaks through discomfort. Through restlessness. Through that inner tension that shows up when you’re settling for less than what you’re capable of.

If you’ve been feeling unsettled, distracted, or discontent lately, it’s not because you’re lost. It’s because something in you knows you’re outgrowing where you are.

Purpose doesn’t come softly. It interrupts. It disrupts. It challenges the version of you that’s comfortable but unfulfilled.

That pull you feel? That urge to change direction? That frustration you can’t shake?

That’s not confusion. That’s instruction.

Purpose speaks in patterns. In repeated thoughts. In doors that keep closing until you finally turn toward the one you’ve been avoiding.

And here’s the part nobody warns you about: When purpose speaks, it rarely makes sense to everyone else.

It will cost you familiarity. It will cost you approval. It will cost you versions of people who only knew you as who you were.

But purpose is not concerned with your comfort. It’s concerned with your alignment.

We spend too much time praying for clarity when clarity has already been given. What we’re really asking for is permission.

Purpose doesn’t ask permission. It calls you forward — ready or not.

And yes, answering it will require discipline. Consistency. Sacrifice.

But ignoring it will cost you more.

Because nothing drains you faster than living a life that doesn’t belong to you. Nothing weighs heavier than pretending you don’t hear what’s been speaking loudly all along.

If your spirit has been restless, let me say this plainly: You’re not broken. You’re being summoned.

Purpose doesn’t whisper. It waits for obedience.

Reflection: What keeps showing up in your spirit that you keep trying to silence?
