How to Discover Your True Destiny and Pursue your Passion

Julie Murphy • April 18, 2022

So many of us can fall into the pattern of living life by default. We might have a job that pays well and funds what is deemed a good lifestyle, yet there’s an underlying sense of something being missing. Or, we might have a job that simply allows us to get by and that we don’t enjoy, whilst also having an inner knowing that we are meant for something greater. When I talk about pursuing your passion though, this extends far wider than how you choose to earn money. Your true destiny - and what I call real wealth, is about creating joy, fulfilment and a profound sense of freedom in all areas of your life – your career, your relationships, your health and your overall quality of life. 


In this article today, I’m going to share some ways in which you can begin to pursue your passion and how to discover yourself. 


Give yourself permission to dream


Following your passion isn’t only reserved for the ‘lucky ones’. It is available to each and every one of us and the magical thing is that once you are in alignment with your true destiny and become that authentic version of yourself, doing what you love and what makes you feel alive on every level, everything begins to fall into place. To get to that though, you have to allow yourself to picture in your mind what you want to create. To see that it is a possibility is already expanding the energy of abundance and now it’s your job to flow with that and visualize what your life would look like when you embody your true self entirely and begin to pursue that passion of yours. What would you be doing? Who would you be spending your time with? What would your family life be like? What would your income be? What kind of experiences would you like to have? What would you choose to invest in? Allow yourself to have fun and play with this! The more you drop down into your heart and let go, the clearer the visualization will become. 


Consider what you love to do in your free time


Perhaps you’re not sure how to pursue your passion because you don’t know what your passion is? If so, that’s ok. You just have to identify the clues! This is all part of learning how to discover yourself. I’d like you to consider the things you would love to do for free if money wasn’t a factor. Would it be art, cooking, teaching, housing renovation, selling, programming, writing or something else? What type of podcasts or books are you naturally drawn towards? What do you like to learn and read about? What type of events do you wish you could attend but don’t? What did you love to do as a child? What makes you giggle? These can all provide clues on where to start exploring.


Take small steps


Once you have a more solid idea of what your true destiny and passion could be - and there might be more than one, now is the time to create momentum. The dreaming part is important, but what really sets your manifestations into action is by doing. Does your passion factor into your everyday life in some way? If not, how can you begin to incorporate it in? This is all about intention. Your true destiny is there for the taking and now is the time to allow yourself to live that! If art is your passion, are you intentionally painting or drawing every day? To pursue your passion, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your job right now either. It’s about finding time to do it every day - even if it’s just for ten minutes. When you start to act on doing what you love, the opportunities soon start to follow because you’re connecting to your heart. It’s when time seems to flow by so fast because you’re truly immersed in the joy of what you’re doing. Once you start allowing yourself to follow your passion in some form every day, you’re on your way to embodying real wealth. It will make an incredible difference to your quality of life and build that muscle of getting better at your passion! Perhaps you could even take a bolder step. If teaching is your passion, could you find some part-time work that fits within this, mentor someone or create an online course teaching what you know? 


Create financial flexibility


As I mentioned earlier, it is possible for all of us to live a dream life following our passion but to do this, you need to begin creating a safe financial container for yourself to have more financial flexibility. It’s about reacting differently to your old patterns and choosing a different way. I have a huge number of tips on how to do this in my YouTube videos but essentially, this is about intentionally setting up your finances in a way that addresses your financial past, whilst taking care of your financial present and your financial future. Creating more consciousness about the flow and energy of your money and setting this up in a way that is automatic so that you don’t have to think about it, gives you more time to pursue your passion and follow your true destiny. To leave that job that doesn’t serve you and become financially free. To discover yourself! Even if you’re currently living paycheck to paycheck, by following your heart and then implementing some financial adjustments and strategies that work in alignment with your desires, you’re on your way to creating that dream life that you visualized earlier. It’s all about living in that high vibrational energy and when you do, things will soon begin to shift! 


To pursue your passion, it doesn’t have to be complicated and the act of doing so allows you to step into the greatest and highest version of yourself. Be mindful of those crabs in your bucket and commit to staying true to yourself in every way as this is also when you become the most magnetic! Your only job is to allow yourself to explore, then follow those clues and opportunities and watch how things magically unfold!

The Power of Reflection: Strengthening Your Financial Path with the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money

By Julie Murphy • October 2, 2024
In my book, " The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , " I explain that wealth isn’t just about managing money—it's about aligning with the deeper, spiritual principles that guide our financial lives. These four laws offer a powerful framework to create lasting abundance, but they aren’t a one-time fix. Instead, they are tools to be revisited and reapplied throughout your journey. Reapplying the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money for Continuous Growth We all know the feeling—just when you think you've got your finances in order, something shifts, and it feels like you're back at square one. Maybe an unexpected expense pops up, or perhaps your goals change as your life evolves. Whatever the reason, financial growth is not a “set it and forget it” journey. It requires ongoing effort, reflection, and adjustment. This is where the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money come in. These laws aren’t just one-time lessons; they are a powerful framework that you can revisit and reapply whenever life (or your bank account) needs a tune-up. Let’s dive into how each law can be reworked into your daily life, helping you to stay on the path of financial abundance. 1. Manifestation Begins with Desire You’ve likely heard it before— knowing what you truly want is the first step to creating it. But here’s the thing: what you want today might be different from what you desired a few years ago. Life changes, and so do your dreams. Take a moment to check in with yourself. What do you really desire now? Is it financial freedom, a vacation home, or maybe the ability to give back to your community in a bigger way? Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to dream big. Let your desires guide you as they evolve. Reaffirming your desires regularly ensures that you're always manifesting what aligns with the current version of you. 2. The Heart Is Stronger Than the Brain When it comes to money, we’re often told to “be logical” or “stick to the numbers.” But one of the most beautiful spiritual laws of money reminds us that the heart is stronger than the brain . In other words, decisions made from a place of love, passion, and authenticity are far more powerful than those made from fear or strict logic. Ask yourself: Are your current financial choices aligned with your heart? Does how you’re making and spending money feel good on a soul level? When you revisit this law, you might realize it's time to adjust your financial strategy to better match your heart’s desires. This could mean choosing a career path that fulfills you or focusing on spending in ways that bring you joy, not just security. 3. Intention Redirects Energy The power of intention is real. When you set a focused intention, you shift the energy of your life in that direction. But the key word here is focused. As life moves forward, it’s easy to let distractions pull your energy in too many directions. That’s why it’s crucial to regularly revisit your intentions. Are they still aligned with where you want to go? Take time to refocus. This might mean creating new financial goals or reaffirming old ones. By re-centering your intentions, you’re not only redirecting your energy—you’re also inviting the universe to step in and help you make those goals a reality. 4. The Universe Responds to Action We’ve all been there: thinking, dreaming, planning—but not doing. This is where the fourth spiritual law comes in as a loving nudge. The universe can only respond when you take action. What steps have you taken lately toward your financial goals? Even small actions—like setting up an automatic savings plan or looking into a new investment—send powerful signals to the universe that you’re serious about manifesting abundance. And the universe will respond! The more action you take, the more opportunities seem to “magically” appear. Remember, action doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small, but be consistent. Every step you take builds momentum toward your goals. Why Reapplying the Laws Matters Life is full of changes. Your financial situation, goals, and even your mindset will evolve over time. That’s why it’s essential to revisit and reapply the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money regularly. They’re not static rules but a dynamic, flexible framework that grows with you. Think of these laws like a compass for your financial journey. Whenever you feel off track, return to them. When you’re uncertain about your next move, let them guide you. The more you use them, the more they’ll become a natural part of how you think and act around money. Embrace the Journey Remember, financial growth is a journey, not a destination. There will be twists, turns, and perhaps a few bumps along the way, but with the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money, you’re never lost. These principles are here to help you continuously grow, adapt, and realign with your true financial path—one that leads not just to wealth, but to joy, freedom, and fulfillment. So, the next time you feel a shift in your financial landscape, don’t panic. Instead, revisit these laws, reapply them, and watch how they continue to guide you toward your next level of abundance. Now, what’s your next step? If you found these insights helpful, you’ll love " The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , " where these principles are explored in depth. It’s now available as an audiobook, making it easier than ever to absorb these powerful lessons on the go. Whether you're commuting, exercising, or relaxing, you can take the wisdom of these spiritual laws with you wherever you are. Start your journey to financial and spiritual abundance today!

Building Financial Stability from Within

By Julie Murphy • September 3, 2024
As someone who has guided countless clients toward true wealth, I know how crucial it is to build financial stability, especially in times like these. And that’s where my approach, outlined in my first book, "The Emotion Behind Money" , comes into play. In my work, I emphasize that wealth isn’t just about numbers—it's about what's happening inside you as much as what's happening around you. The Emotion Behind Money is all about building wealth from the inside out, which means bringing your authentic self to the forefront of your financial decisions. When your money is aligned with who you truly are, you create a foundation that can withstand even the most uncertain times. Feeling anxious about the future—whether it’s due to financial, economic, or inflation-related concerns—is a common experience. But often, that anxiety signals that your money isn’t set up in alignment with your authentic self. When this alignment is off, it’s easy to feel ungrounded and uncertain. I’ve seen this time and again in my work as a financial planner, and I’m here to help you shift from anxiety to assurance by realigning your financial life with who you really are. Let’s face it: the economic landscape is challenging right now. Inflation is driving up costs on essentials like gas, food, and education. Interest rates are climbing, and while wage growth might seem positive, it can have long-term consequences for the economy. It’s easy to get caught up in these concerns, but I believe there’s a better way to approach them. The Outside vs. The Inside When we think about wealth, we often focus on external factors: the stock market, interest rates, inflation, job security, and so on. These things are important, but they’re only part of the picture. What’s going on inside you—your beliefs, values, and emotions —plays an equally crucial role in your financial stability. If you’re feeling anxious about the future, it might be a sign that your finances aren’t fully aligned with your true self . When you’re not grounded in your financial decisions, it’s easy to feel out of control and overwhelmed by external events. But when your money is set up in a way that reflects who you are and what you value, you’ll find that you can navigate uncertainty with much more confidence and peace of mind. Creating Financial Space One of the most important steps you can take to create financial stability is to build financial space. This means having enough room in your budget to handle unexpected expenses, economic downturns, or other financial challenges without feeling panicked. Start by taking a close look at your current financial situation. Are there areas where you could reduce your debt? Are there expenses you could eliminate or cut back on? By making these adjustments, you can free up cash flow that can be redirected into savings or investments, creating a buffer that will protect you in times of uncertainty. I’ve created a Cashflow Worksheet to help you get started on this journey. You can download it here . Another crucial aspect of creating financial space is to avoid taking on unnecessary debt. For example, many people take out loans from their 401K accounts, thinking it’s a quick fix. But in the long run, this can lead to more financial stress. Instead, focus on building up your savings so that you have the cash on hand to cover unexpected expenses without resorting to credit cards or loans. Empower Your Choices A big part of building financial stability is recognizing that you have a choice in how you manage your money. It’s easy to feel like a victim of the system, especially when you’re facing financial pressure. But when you realize that you have the power to make decisions that align with your values and goals, you take control of your financial future. For example, instead of feeling like you "have to" use credit cards to cover expenses, reframe it as a choice. If you truly need to use credit, do so with intention and a plan to pay it off quickly. But if it’s possible to avoid it, choose to do so. This simple shift in mindset can make a huge difference in how you feel about your financial situation. Insulate Yourself from Economic Uncertainty We can’t control what’s happening in the global economy, but we can take steps to insulate ourselves from its effects. This starts with being proactive about your finances. By setting up your money in a way that aligns with your true self, you create a foundation that can weather any storm. Whether it’s building up your savings, reducing your debt, or making thoughtful financial choices, every step you take toward financial stability helps to create a sense of security. And that security isn’t just about having more money in the bank—it’s about knowing that you’re in control of your financial future, no matter what happens in the world around you.
