This is a burning and loaded question, which at some point in our lives we find ourselves asking. We can feel it, deep down inside, that there is more than what meets the eye. And it usually starts when we start feeling tired and exhausted with day to day life. You find yourself whispering to yourself …… this can’t be it……there has to be more. Who am I, why am I here and what is my purpose?

 

Well, I am here to tell you that there is SO much more to life! And that you do have a divine purpose. It is your responsibility and priority to find out what that is.

 

I recall going through this over and over again since a very young age. At first it was exhausting but overtime things got easier. At this early stage in the process, being able to get grounded and centered in order to hear or feel the messages was quite a mission. It would be so frustrating to sit there in silence and get nothing. I always thought to myself I must be doing something wrong. And it didn’t help that I was impatient. Thankfully, my eagerness to find out was so strong it kept me extremely motivated to continue.

 

It took a long time before I started to see things shift. With persistence, determination and motivation the initial silence and the feelings that I felt of frustration, confusion and of being lost turned into something beyond magical.

 

Finally! Answers to questions that have led me to live a more meaningful life. I still don’t know where I am fully going but the truth is we never really do. That’s the fun thing about life.  Do you dare and be adventurous?!

 

I have come to finally realize and understand these simple key facts: everything has a purpose, nothing is coincidence and we all have the power to manifest the life we truly desire. With intention, everything and anything is possible!  And yes, life is painful at its surface but if you switch your perspective and see the beauty behind the pain and its true purpose will you see that life is absolutely miraculous. 

 

In order to grow, there needs to be a balance, a duality between the light and the shadow, the positive and the negative, the good and the bad etc.

 

So how do we get there? How do we hear the voice with the answers we seek? Simply put, we need to get rid of all the noise (distractions) and find our center within. This is a task in itself but in time and with patience you will succeed. For me, without a doubt, the act of practicing mindfulness and awareness helped tremendously. This changed my life in such profound ways.

 

My daily intention is to always be mindful of every thought, action, emotion and feeling as I go about my day. The point of this is to become aware of why you do the things you do. It will help bring you closer to knowing your true self and identifying the shadow self within that needs to be acknowledged, accepted and liberated.

 

Focusing on identifying those things that trigger you and taking the time to understand why it’s happening can help highlight what within you needs to heal. Identifying your triggers is key. This will help determine the necessary steps needed to address the issue. The more of this practice you do the more you heal the more balanced and centered you become.

 

I have applied this concept to everything in my life. This is how I was able to learn how to fully and deeply love myself. How I was able to finally break free from the re-occurring cycles that I’ve identified in my life. How I was able to finally quiet the mind in order hear that inner voice with the answers I seek of who I am.  The more I healed the more liberated I felt. I worried less, my anxiety levels decreased, and the less my mind chattered.

 

Is there anything in your life that you notice keeps happening? If you answered yes, then I invite you to explore it! It’s trying to tell you something.

 

This journey has taught me how important self-awareness is and the need to prioritize yourself for the evolution of your soul.

 

I invite you to take this time to think about the things you could do today to shift your life.

 

Don’t get me wrong, this process isn’t easy by all means but remember that slow and steady always wins the race.

 

At first, it is really hard but the more you do it the easier it becomes. The most important thing to know and remember is to always be kind to yourself in the process. To love and forgive yourself. Mistakes will be made and things will be missed or forgotten. Remind yourself, that at least you tried and you will try harder next time. And then let it go.

 

I cannot emphasize this enough that this is key for this to work. You have no idea how many times I messed this up. I can’t even begin to tell you. It was a lot! But I kept pushing forward.

 

Every day brings a new adventure and the opportunity for us all to create a better version of ourselves.  What will you be creating for yourself today?

Until next time.

Love,
