After many adventures, she realized that she loved having conversations with people and had an idea to pursue communication. Molly saw a counselor and during her sessions, she knew she wanted to do something similar. She signed up for a program to receive her Masters of Art in Applied Behavioral Sciences to align her career with her purpose.\r\n\r\nMajor Life Events that Hinted at Your Life Purpose\r\n\r\nAfter returning to America from her architecture studies in England, Molly did not want to return to school because of a negative experience. Instead, she followed her curiosity and volunteered for a boat organization, which eventually led to receiving a captain's license.\r\nIn the late 1990's, she started taking yoga classes where she learned about the chakra system. It was her first introduction to self awareness and knowing internal patterns.\r\nMolly took a job as a boat captain and first mate on a ship that sailed to Alaska, during which she constantly used her observation abilities through all of her senses. This time in pristine wilderness proved to her that she could go on big adventures. She learned that just because something is difficult, it does not mean there cannot be bliss or satisfaction.\r\nLearning about symbols in space through architecture and symbols on maps for boat navigation lead Molly to pursue astrology; symbols on paper that show patterns in the universe that can help people understand themselves better.\r\n\r\nSpiritual Belief\r\n\r\nShe was raised in a Irish Catholic family, however, living in her town of Olympia, Washington gave her a variety of spiritual perspectives.\r\nBelieves in a higher power that she refers to as God, but is open to the many names that other people may like to call "He, She, or It."\r\n"Faith is a daily practice of learning how to risk."\r\n\r\nRecommended Personal Growth Resource or Practice\r\n\r\nTo remind herself daily of how life is gift.\r\n\r\nMolly Morrissey's Wisdom on Igniting Life Purpose and Personal Growth\r\n"If you want to do it, you'll figure it out. You have to be willing to follow your curiosity. Hard work is not a bad thing. Messy work is not a deterrent. Be willing to slow down long enough to figure out where your curiosity is living."\r\nInterview Links and Special Offers from this Episode\r\n\r\nMolly Morrissey's website\r\nFirst five listeners to contact Molly Morrissey and mention the Life Purpose Advisor Podcast will receive 20% off a birth chart consult.\r\n\r\n Subscribe to the Life Purpose Advisor Podcast\r\nTo subscribe and review the Life Purpose Advisor podcast on iTunes.  Click here.  (Your reviews keep us growing so you’ll hear more great stories from difference makers.)","author_name":"The Life Purpose Advisor Podcast with Angie Swartz","author_url":"http:\/\/lifepurposeadvisor.com","html":"
