“I also believe that when God is working on something very specific in your life that feels far greater than you, your soul picks up on it, but your mind can’t yet grasp it. It doesn’t logically make sense, but your heart can’t shake it off. There’s something there.”
This is definitely relatable! I appreciate the way you picked up on little, subtle things, nudges and signs as they show the path forward. But are we always tuned into them?
I have a weirdly parallel story to yours in relation to your screenplay. I felt called to write a movie synopsis about a famous historical figure (in LA!) and I had the most unbelievable signs and synchronicities attached to the women I wrote about. I tried sending an email pitch to a few production companies, and have sat on it for a few months as I’ve been preoccupied with other things. But what to do with it? I hope God gives me a sign 🙏 The story seems important and the figure in question had been divinely nudging and directing me to write it, so, like you, I wonder what will come of it. The bizzare thing about it is that I have no experience of working in that industry, but happened to know one producer in Hollywood who said it was a strong piece. I’m British, a former academic at Cambridge etc, so again, no “logical” connection, I just picked up on the nudges and strong signs and went with it. Let’s see what happens!
Responding to all of these comments has been on my to-do list for a few weeks. But me reading your comment now, at this point in my life, truly feels divinely timed. I needed to re-read my own quote that you wrote above LOL. But I am right there with you right now!!! Keep following the knowings. It doesn't need to make sense. The producer's reaction was exactly the proof you need to keep going. Surrender to the experience and let it be what it is meant to be, but I feel like there's an adventure for you as you pursue it. Rooting for you!
Witnessed and guided, your journey is such an inspiring one. The truth and clear evidence of your environments and circumstances collaborating to be seen so that you could walk the right path is astonishing. I fell in love with the narrative, the relatability and vulnerability of your hardships and the reminder to keep the faith! Thank you for adding fuel to my fire that is igniting passion and creativity for me to authentically express my truth through my gifts. Merci beaucoup!
I'm so glad this resonated with you Daniel!!! Appreciate the generous words; writing all of those moments and reading through the timeline did open my eyes to see the ways in which I defied my logic and listened to that knowing through each step, even though it all seemed so crazy in the moment, and that while I still have no idea what exact path I'm on...it was and will continue to be an adventure. And sometimes, that's all that matters!
This is so inspiring and relatable! I’ve been going through a similar journey. I appreciate the insights into what you’ve been going through internally throughout the process because I have been going through it, too. Your words spoke to me! Also…To Be Magnetic. I’ve been contemplating doing it. Seems like it’s well worth it?
Worth EVERY second of your time and money (it's the greatest investment I've made on myself as it completely changed the way I see myself and my life). I also got a few of my close friends on it and have witnessed such expansion in them in recent months...it's profound, truly.
First time commenting on substack, but your story was so inspiring, energizing i must share some thoughts. You mentioning that self-doubt remains no matter where you are has really stuck out to me, cause man its been eating at me this month; I have my goals and ambitions I work towards everyday, and I'm hopefully about to achieve a few very very soon! But this final leg of this journey is so stressful, chaotic and making me question my capabilities. I really needed a read like this right now. It made me reflect on how far I've come, how on a road to just one goal I've achieved so many others... it's been such a steep learning curve but I've already overcome most of it. You've given me a much needed push, a surge of hope and faith in myself (and God/the universe! Surely this piece was an omen for me lol it first caught my eye particularly because of the reference to The Alchemist... how i adore that book.) Thank you for sharing this, your story has given mine some much appreciated fuel to continue.
I had so many chills reading this. Thank you for letting my post be the first one you commented on!!! Ha. I love how you wrote "how on a road to just one goal I've achieved so many others" - YES. That is it!!! Just a reminder that it's always the moment before something remarkable happens that you will be tested in every way possible to see if you feel worthy, capable and powerful enough to receive your biggest desires. The final leg being stressful/chaotic is exact proof that you're on the right path, in the right place in time. I hope now that it's been a few weeks, something magical has happened since. x
I love this. I wish I could send you an email with my own story too. It was very similar to yours. Happened nearly 5 years ago and even though so much has happened I still feel like I’m in the middle of a huge break through because there is no way this is all there is. 😌 God didn’t bring me this far just to bring me this far.
In 2020, I had a non-fire emergency and was helped by the fire service. One firefighter stayed with me until the ambulance arrived—we talked, and something shifted. That moment sparked my curiosity. I started seeing the fire engine everywhere that week; I called it a “fire brigade streak.” I followed the nudge, volunteered at the fire brigade museum, and later joined the fire cadets team as a volunteer.
By 2021, I visited my local station with festive hampers, and met that same firefighter again—he was now a competent firefighter, and I was a volunteer for the fire service. Full circle.
In 2022, I joined the fire service as a paid employee. From my local station, I worked with the very crews that helped me. Another full circle. That firefighter trained me in 2023, on the exact anniversary of the incident!
By 2024, we were collaborating as specialists. Each reunion reflects growth. We’ve become upgraded versions of ourselves, every single time.
I believe when you deeply desire something and take aligned steps, the universe responds. This journey—woven with signs, synchronicities, and full circles—has shown me that. I feel another chapter is coming. And just like before, I trust that God is aligning it all. 🚒
WOW. This is absolutely incredible. I am speechless. There is definitely more to this story…but keep following that curiosity. You have been led on an adventure and who knows where else it will take you!
And I am so so so excited for you! I can’t wait to hear your reflections in the future when you look back on this period with butterflies like wow! This was the exact moment it happened, the beginning. 🤍
