Do you know where your current path is taking you? Education, religious upbringing, core family beliefs and friends values have been shaping your life up to now. Youre busy with life, work, partner, kids and socials and have little or no time to stop and think about where youre life is heading. In fact sometimes you hear a tiny voice in your head say, I think Im losing my identity. Ninety-four percent of people dont know where theyre heading. Little wonder then that life seems to go around and around in circles. And unless you take time out it wont get any better. Twenty years from now youll still be working like a dog works when its chasing its tail. And that tiny voice well if you can still hear, it will be saying, Ive well and truly lost my identity! And what is your identity? I say your identity is who you really are, not your job, or your exam results, or your religious persuasion or your family name or your bank balance or how much you do to care for your dependants. No, youre identity is something else You were born into this world with a unique gift and a distinctive way of expressing it, the problem is, with so many other influences on you in your youth and adulthood youve forgotten what those things are. Now youre programmed and running a set pattern of behaviour in what Id call The Existence Mode. Your sense of identity in fact has most probably helped form a person who you are not and maybe even dont like too much (grumpy, often tired, overweight, apathetic) rather than who you really are. But changing it, after years of shaping you into this person you are now, seems like a task, way, way too massive to even contemplate. Yet while you continually throw your heart into doing what seems right, performing in The Existence Mode your soul is searching. (Thats why you are reading this now and identifying yourself in my words). Your soul wants you to do the logical thing. Align with your true identity - become all that you are. It doesnt want to see you floundering one day more. It doesnt want you to be lost, fed-up, mentally beating yourself or picking on the ones you love. It wants you to be free. Begin your search now. Understand that you were born with a unique talent and a distinctive way of expressing it; understand that at some level you already know your life purpose and that it has just become buried and that all you need now is just some time and a little help to uncover it; understand life purpose is not just job specific, though work is a key element because of the hours spent doing it; understand without clarity of life purpose living becomes existence. Until you know what you want youll continue to run on the pre-programmed Existence Mode. Finding out who you really are and where you are really heading takes a little time and may cost you some money. Its a journey a journey that leads to self-fulfillment, greater rewards at work and greater, all-round happiness. |
