You are forever stuck in a rut, questioning your direction in life, battling through moments of self-doubt and frustration. Whether it’s feeling disconnected from your true self, struggling to communicate in relationships, or dealing with career stress, many of us experience these existential crises.

The pressure to live up to external expectations, manage finances, and make life decisions that seem to carry immense weight can leave us paralyzed. So, what do we do when we feel like we’re just not getting it right?

Put your hard hat on and fasten your seatbelt: Your first attempts at being the real you will probably suck. But that doesn’t mean you should wait. The secret to overcoming these struggles lies in just starting—taking that first step to connect with yourself and the world around you. Because once you begin, things will start to change.

Is Life Overwhelming? Why Your First Attempts Will Suck—And That’s Okay

Many men today find themselves trapped in cycles of confusion, stress, and emotional pain. Personal growth feels out of reach, and finding clarity can seem like an impossible task. The pressure to be “perfect” in relationships, work, and finances adds to the overwhelming anxiety that seems to keep growing, no matter how hard we try.

In addition, communication issues—whether with family, partners, or friends—can leave us feeling isolated. Career dissatisfaction, financial stress, and even depression can make it feel like we’re constantly fighting battles that don’t seem to end.

It's no wonder many of us feel lost and disconnected. We all want to feel like we have purpose, direction, and meaning in our lives, but when we’re stuck in these negative cycles, it feels nearly impossible to find our way out.

These struggles don’t define you. They’re part of a bigger picture, a challenge that, once faced, can unlock incredible growth and transformation. The key to it all is to begin. And yes, your first attempts will likely suck.

The Radical Shift: Moving Away From Fate and Embracing Destiny

This brings us to a powerful concept that can change how we view our lives: Genomic Teleology. It's a radical shift in understanding human development. Rather than seeing ourselves as being shaped only by external factors like society, upbringing, or experiences, we can view our DNA as a divine blueprint. Our genome carries a preordained purpose—an innate potential that guides us towards fulfillment. Think of it as a deeply spiritual journey embedded in your biology.

This isn’t some abstract idea, but a real, physical force driving you toward your true self. When we align with this divine purpose, we begin to see life not as a series of random events but as a series of interconnected steps leading to personal fulfillment. Your journey might seem full of mistakes at first, but each "failure" is actually a part of uncovering the divine plan designed for you.

What many of us fail to realize is that the very struggles and negative patterns we experience are part of this divine blueprint. Through confronting trauma, dealing with depression, or navigating broken relationships, we are working through the layers of our own personal telic evolution. These are not just “bad things” happening—they are opportunities trying to show us the deeper meaning embedded in our personal narrative.

First Step: Embrace the Mistakes

So, where do we start? The truth is, you just have to start. The first attempts at reconnecting with your authentic self will absolutely suck. It’s uncomfortable, awkward, and messy—but it’s necessary. The more you delay stepping into your true self, the longer you stay trapped in a life that feels disconnected from your purpose.

Every “mistake” you make in the beginning is part of a grander design. The divine purpose within you is not linear—it’s messy, raw, and authentic. When you engage with life in a real way, without the pressure to be perfect, you start discovering the gold thread that ties your story together. The key is to stay in motion: face your demons, take action, and get feedback from the world and from yourself. Mistakes are your greatest teachers.

The mindset is simple: Make as many mistakes as possible in the shortest amount of time. That’s the quickest route to clarity and growth. Every experience, every challenge, is a piece of the puzzle that will eventually reveal the version of yourself that works, that aligns with your divine purpose.

The Power of Instinctual Rescripting

One of the most powerful tools you can use in this journey of self-discovery is Instinctual Rescripting. This process is about uncovering and rewriting the deep-seated patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior that have been shaped by trauma, false beliefs, or external expectations. These "instinctual scripts" are often maladaptive, leading us to make decisions based on fear, insecurity, or past wounds.

By identifying these patterns and consciously harnessing the wisdom of your instincts to rewrite them, you can start to align your behavior with your true self, rather than reacting from old wounds. Instinctual Rescripting empowers you to break free from cycles of emotional dysregulation and isolation, allowing you to move forward with clarity and confidence.

This process isn’t easy, but it’s one of the most transformative ways to align with your purpose. It’s about shedding the old, limiting, and unconscious patterns and making space for a new, empowered version of yourself that reflects your true potential.

The Journey is Just Beginning

Starting now is the key to breaking free from the un-life you’ve been un-living and stepping into the world around you, just as it is. Your journey towards personal growth, purpose, and fulfillment is far from over—it’s just beginning.

Embrace the messiness of it all. The world, with all its distractions and confusion, has systematically pulled you away from your true self. But now, you have the power and instinctual insights to counteract that, to engage with life on your terms, and to align with your divine calling.

To reiterate: Your first attempts will suck. But that’s okay. Here’s the mindset: every so-called mistake holds a piece of the golden thread that connects you to your divine purpose. The goal is to make as many mistakes as possible in the shortest amount of time, until you find the version of yourself that truly works.

The journey never ends, but the beginning starts now. Be playful and run to your mistakes, and trust that your true purpose is already within you—waiting to unfold.
