Ever tried to bargain with certainty—“Set me up financially and I’ll finally live with purpose”? We take that deal apart and show why it fails at the root: you can’t demand collateral from the very source that powers your next breath. Using a clear lender–borrower analogy, we lay out why collateral presumes capacity, and how that logic breaks when applied to the Creator. Even the best intentions and the most disciplined spiritual practice depend on help; service isn’t a self-funded enterprise.

We dig into the difference between body and soul to ground this truth. Parents provide the physical form; God provides the life-force that makes sight, thought, and will possible. If raw materials are cheap but a life is priceless, then our value—and our agency—flows from the soul. That insight reframes the common promise to “get serious once I’m secure.” Waiting for perfect conditions is a stall built on the illusion of control. Purpose begins with small, faithful steps taken now, trusting provision will meet obedience rather than precede it.

I share a personal chapter from my baal teshuva journey: the sting of seeing loved ones under a “blindfold” while I felt newly awake. That experience taught me that clarity arrives by merit and timing, not by demand. The takeaway is simple and sharp: move first in trust, and let that trust be the channel for strength, focus, and follow-through. If you’ve been holding your purpose hostage to your bank balance, this conversation invites you to flip the script and act from reliance, not from leverage.

If this sparked something, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review with your favourite takeaway—what line will you carry into your week?
