Stepping into places of purpose can feel like stepping into terrain that is risky and dangerous. The dangers can be both real and imagined. They might be emotional risks, like the danger of disappointing others or the danger of failing. Or they might even be physical risks, like if our purpose calls us to step into places around the world where our safety is in jeopardy. Protective Guides don't rescue us from all of the danger, but rather they can empower us to navigate the journey with greater wisdom and courage.
