Day Thirty Two
Surrender Into…Your Purpose
What is MY purpose? A question I get asked all the time during private and group sessions. This question is so prevalent that we facilitate a full weekend retreat called, Discover your Soul’s Purpose and Plan: Mapping Your Miraculous Life. So many are seeking to know their purpose.
What is YOUR purpose? I have learned, and I teach – your purpose is much simpler than you believe it to be. Your soul already knows your purpose and it’s not as complicated as you might think.
We need to shine awareness on all the beliefs that have overshadowed the simplicity of the soul. You have been conditioned with layers of beliefs from your ancestors, your culture, your religion, your education and the socio-economic factors you have experienced while growing up. Quite often “purpose” is mistaken as a vocation, or what you’re suppose to be “doing” in order to feel successful, worthy, valued, and important.
Open your awareness so you can surrender your ego’s perception of purpose and re-align to your soul’s knowing of your purpose. Here are some reflections to ponder…
- What if your purpose isn’t a place you get to or something you must achieve before you leave this earth plane?
- What if you already are in your purpose?
- What if your purpose is unfolding in every moment?
- What if you just need to shift your intention and bring attention to your inner feelings so you can feel more purposeful in your outer life experiences?
Initiate a new beginning and be willing to …
- Surrender any fear that you’ve had about not being in your purpose.
- Surrender the pressures you’ve placed on yourself about the future – the “have tos”, “shoulds” and “when and how it happen.”
- Surrender to your purpose unfolding every day.
- Surrender that your purpose is simpler then you have believed it to be.
Day Thirty Two
Trust…Your Purpose is Simple
When you find yourself feeling or saying the following expressions, know your soul is waking up and it’s trying to get your attention…
There is something I feel I should be doing.
I feel I am here for a purpose and I don’t know what that is.
I want to feel more meaning in my life.
I want to help or serve humanity.
I want to feel a reason to get out of bed every morning.
I want to feel like I am making a difference.
Do any of these statements feel familiar to you in the present or have you said them in the past?
Some of you may feel aligned with your soul’s purpose and you are not seeking anything more than its unfolding in every moment. If so, you are in alignment with your soul.
For those of you that need support in realigning to your soul’s purpose answer the following questions …
- What lights you up and makes you feel so happy or alive?
- What brings you joy?
- What feels so natural for you to do or to share?
- What makes time fly when you’re doing it?
- What do you feel inspired to share or create?
- In what ways do you like to help others or humanity?
I believe our purpose unfolds from a state of being. You must journey within yourself with the pure intent and desire to know thyself and to be thyself. It’s time to surrender all exterior expectations and thoughts – What will others say? Where will this lead me? When will I matter?
Remember, the ego likes to think your purpose is quite grandiose, but your soul knows in one moment it can be very important, and in another it can be quite simple. Like being kind to a stranger or being present as another person is sharing their experiences.
Are you ready to know your soul’s purpose? Then contemplate and reflect on these questions…
- What can I choose today to experience happiness or joy?
- What do I feel inspired to do today?
- How can I make a difference today?
- How can I be present in life today?
- How can I practice compassion, love, and acceptance, today for myself and others?
- How can I be or feel in purpose today?
Pause for a moment. Take a breath and realize that every question I asked you does not relate to a future moment. What if you are already in your purpose? What if just being in this life experience is your purpose?
So, what’s the missing piece for those of you not feeling in your purpose? The connection to your soul. The good news is, you are re-uniting with your soul and you are waking up from a long sleep. You would not be on this journey if you were still asleep.
It’s very simple. Can you trust and choose to live out the answers to the questions above and allow your soul’s purpose to reveal itself moment-to-moment?
This way of being requires conscious intention and effort at first. You are dissolving old beliefs and habits that have been there for a lifetime or many lifetimes. You don’t have to journey alone. This is the time to call on the Divine troops to heal you and gift you with everything you need so you can live in the present moment in your purpose.
I remind you – it’s simple. Choose joy today. Choose to make a difference today. Choose to accept and love today. Choose to be kind today. Choose to listen and spend quality time with others today. Choose to act on inspiration today. These choices will answer any questions you have about your purpose. These choices will create your future moments of being in your purpose. Trust and know your purpose is unfolding in every moment.
I leave you with my simple prayer that brings me into my soul’s alignment to be in purpose everyday… God use me for a purpose greater than I know myself.
