Purposeful Point: No matter how deep a hole of fear, lack and struggle
we find ourselves in; it is possible to return to our true purpose.
Here are a few ways to bring our lives back on purpose.
It can happen to the best of us. We're cruising along in our lives
having a merry old time of living true to our life purpose where our
thoughts, decisions and actions are consistent with our vision for
what's possible, our core values, and even with the essence of our
very soul, when suddenly we hit a bump in the road. Some of those
bumps can be huge and can send us into a deep hole of fear, lack and
struggle.
How do we dig ourselves out of these 'depressions?' Well, the
principle I'd like to suggest working with is the Universal Law of
Attraction that simply states that like attracts like. We bring into
our consciousness and into our experience that which we stay focused
on.
For example, have you been caught up in the aftermath reporting of
Katrina? Remember, much of the media's focus is fear based. It
drives the media and if we're not awake and aware it can end up
driving us off the road and into the ditch.
The following questions are intended to start the process of reversing
the 'snowball' effect of our thoughts and feelings.
1. Who are 5 people you love in your life? What do you love about each
one of them? What else?
2. What do you love about your life? What else? Identify at least 10
specifics things about your life you love and can appreciate?
3. What do you love about yourself? What else?
4. What do you know works to deepen your connection to God? Come up
with at least 3 specifics, then do at least one of them each day for
the next 3 days.
And here are a few specific actions that will jumpstart a purposeful
pivot through the fear/lack/struggle and back on course with your life
being shaped by Love/abundance/flow:
1. Connect to the love of God by being fully with your loved ones --
expressing your love for them and allowing them to share their love
with you. Be with them with the intention to connect with the love of
God.
2. Connect with the love of God by taking time by yourself in some
beautiful part of nature. Your choice what that would be. I'd plan
on this being an hour if possible or more. Go with the intention to
connect with the love of God.
3. Connect with the love of God by being of service to someone. I'd
suggest you be of service to someone you know and also be of service
to someone you've never met. Be of service with the intention to
EMPOWER OTHERS TO LIVE ON PURPOSE
Do you know someone else stuck in the ditch of their life? Why not
forward this issue of Purposeful Pondering Ezine to them? It might
just be what they need to pull them back onto the road, which is
really the Purposeful Path.
