Right before your biggest breakthrough there's only the self-sacrifice test these different moments measure the two depths of commitment to your higher calling like abraham acts to surrender his beloved son so the universe text whether you love division but that comfort.
Comfort, ego or immediate security. It is a profound spiritual and psychological pruning phase where you must prove your purpose is just entirely bigger than personal freedom and relationship with this dream.
It requires absolute unwavering devotion. You must. Anchor and tension into it completely choosing to return to your craft even when no one else tells you to walk away or doing your decade most. This local slavery is an act of radical surrender.
