Today I want to share with you something that I first learned from my Guru… just be who you are. Well I had always heard this advice in many places. But It was my Guru who showed me what that really meant. Part of his mission was to re-educate people about the true nature of God, and how to develop an intimate connection with the Divine within us. He always taught that to be truly spiritual you have to stop pretending to be something that you are not. The Divine within you already knows who you are. She knows all…
May I ask you a question? Are you living? Or are you merely existing? I think too many people are stuck in the routine of trying to survive, trying to provide for their family, trying to pay the bills and the rent. They spend 90% of their time doing stuff they don’t really like, in order to be able to simply continue. I know what it’s like. I’ve been there too. Ok, the job security is important, especially when you have a family to maintain. But what kind of a life is it if you spend 6 days a week…
This week’s quote is something that has always been close to my heart. And I think many people don’t really get this. These days, much of “self-help” and “spiritual” teachings put too much emphasis on trying to find your life purpose, your reason for being here, and how you can contribute to the world. Well you know, those things are important of course. But I think the most important thing you can do in your entire existence here on Earth is to connect with your spirituality. Self-Realization is the ultimate goal of living this life. Union with your inner Divine nature.…
I think that, sadly, a lot of people have grown into the habit of ignoring the “call that excites their spirit”. You can call it Spirit, or Intuition, or God, or Nature. Whatever name you give it, it’s all the same. And it is frequently giving you messages. In the small things, as well as the big things in life. You can know it is calling to you when you feel excited, enthusiastic, and inspired. Listen for that, and don’t dismiss those feelings as fanciful day-dreaming. Those “calls” from your Spirit are guiding you. They guide you in making simple…
Today, of all the things you have to do or want to do, there is one thing you should give priority… Let your unique light shine in the world. Consider that you are the only you on this Earth. You may not be perfect but you have special qualities and gifts to share, that no other person in the world can offer. If you were not alive, then the world would be incomplete… it would be missing your special, unique contribution. Today, be yourself. Share your gift. Bring your unique light to those around you. That is truly your Life Purpose.…
Your life purpose is much simpler that you probably realise! You don’t need to stress about trying to find it or know what it is for you. Just relax, and concentrate on living in line with your values. Channel your energy into the the things that you love. Follow the call of your spirit, and do whatever makes you feel alive and energised. If you do only that, your life purpose will find you, and you’ll suddenly realise that you are already living your life purpose.
People often think of life purpose as some specific contribution or function they should have, such as teaching others, being a parent, or raising awareness about environmental issues. The truth is that these things, fantastic as they are, are simply different expressions of a more fundamental underlying life purpose, which is to realise your Divinity and bring to the world the light of your genuine true self.
