We all have a Destiny to follow. No two are the same, just as no two people are the same. This means that nobody can tell you exactly how to Walk the Path of your own Destiny. Nobody has ever done it, except your future self. We have all entered into this particular existence with our own unique soul contracts and it is our job to figure out the way there. But it doesn't have to be so arduous, in fact, it can and should be a lot of fun, if we are doing it right.
If you ever grow weary wondering what steps to take and feel exhausted or overwhelmed, this is the perfect time to take a step back. Life is a symbiotic flow of action and reflection. Now is the time for reflection so that your action will be guided.
Let's talk about the role of the Guide. There is only one Guide in your life. You. Everything & everyone in your external surrounding acts as a mirror to what is inside you, because you perceive and what you draw toward yourself is based on your unique mind, body, soul & personality filter. You control your whole self, and that's all you can control. Everything else you think you control is a complete and utter illusion. God controls the rest, not you. You decide what you are willing to see, how you are willing to see it and what you are willing to do with that information. Emphasis on the Will.
Now we enter into the topic of Will. This is important because you need this for both action and reflection. A strong will aids you with self-esteem, warrior energy, and is a major key to unlocking your own transformation. There are many keys involved with unlocking our personal transformation, and your Destiny may or may not require completely unlocking all of them, if you so choose. I will share more on these keys in another blog post.
You have to really loosen up your desire to control your external surroundings, and tighten up your focus on how you move through them. Don't compare yourself to others, but when observing others, pay attention to what types of people you are attracting, and what types of people you are pushing away. This is a great way to know how well you've tuned yourself to act in ways that shape your reality the way you want it.
Are you attracting negative people or situations in your life? This might be a sign that you need to work more on yourself. Exercising and taking time to develop yourself, decompress, and offering yourself well deserved and very much needed self love, are great ways to start. When you take great care of yourself, you not only feel happier and are more likely to make better choices, but you will also attract people who are positive, which will always connect you back to your Path!
You must learn to trust the right people for the right reasons. When the right people come into your life, you know it because you can feel the good energy swirling around inside you on a very visceral level, and in contrast you feel pain when you have pushed them away. Those great people in our lives not only help you feel happier, but they also help you learn more about yourself, which allows you to embark further down your Path. God doesn't bring great people into our lives for no particular reason.
Learn to listen. Listen to others. Listen to yourself. Do this with all of your senses. Establish your presence in the moment using each of your senses to ground you into it. Take deep breaths, smell the air. Touch the other person on the arm to soften their shell or do this to yourself if you are listening to you. Don't formulate a response to anyone or to yourself until you have done all of this, and until all of the their words, or your internal voice are done talking. Becoming the observer who is unattached to your ego, but firmly attached to your surroundings and into your body, will give you the right foundation to listen. Be gracious to yourself and others when listening at all times. Words & thoughts are extremely important. Do you have trouble receiving messages from your inner voice?
Learn to become the best observer of you. Give yourself space to talk and to listen to you. Meditate. It doesn't have to be complicated and you do not need training or experience. Sit comfortably in a chair, or on the ground on a cushion, wherever you can be in a comfortable state to mitigate any physical pain that could distract you. Tune into the vibe with calming music, or complete silence. Take as many deep breaths as needed until feel stillness and have gently asserted your full presence into what you are doing. Picture a river rushing around you while you sit protected on a large boulder above it. Let the thoughts come, but watch them pass by down the cleansing river. Instead of getting caught in the undertow of your thoughts, you must rise slightly above them and become detached to be the observer. When you have given this experience as much time as you are able, which can be as little as 5 minutes or as long as an hour or more, take several more deep breaths and honor yourself for doing something that is so vastly important and will touch every aspect of your life. The more you do this, the more your inner voice will be with you, and will be singing sweet things to you, giving you advice, and even telling you jokes, instead of shouting, nagging, or tearing you down.
Take time to realize what your Gift is. You may have very many Gifts which can be combined, you may have a few or even just one Gift that is so very powerful. Sometimes we may have similar gifts to offer the world, which may make you stop in your tracks, thinking too many people are doing this same thing already, but you have to remember, nobody is going to deliver that gift the way you will. Your mind, body, soul, and personality create an Godly instrument that is completely yours, which makes you incredibly special. God gifted you your personality, and no two are the same. If you are not using your gift in your career, think about how you are using it outside your career. The two do not always have to go hand in hand, even though they can. If you struggle to see what your Gift is, ask yourself this - what am I doing that makes me happy, and how does that trickle out into the world in a way that is helpful? Sharing your gift is essential to your Destiny. When we all do this, we generate a symphony of creativity and connection, which helps everyone find and embark down their own Paths and can inspire and encourage ourselves and others to use these Gifts more, and to do so Fearlessly!
Even though the journey is long and can take you on unforeseen twists and bends, the individual steps are small. One foot in front of the other. If we had to move a mountain to fulfill our Destiny the overwhelm would quickly set in if you constantly looked at and thought about the whole mountain in front of you. But if we take reasonable steps to chip away at it day by day, the mountain will eventually be moved. The process should be fun. We should enjoy it. Make it into an art form. Bring humor into it and delight. Detach from the results of your execution and hone in and really focus on the individual steps. A watched pot never boils. When you place a death grip on the wanting and the outcome, you push it away by messing up the steps. You have to trust yourself that you can take the right steps and walk the right way, and trust God to do the rest. If you are not enjoying the journey, you are not on the right Path. It might take a lot of self reflection to get you to the Path you need to be on and that is ok. This is not a race. Be willing to experiment, deal with uncertainty, and be forgiving of yourself in the process.
The answers are always in your Heart, waiting to be heard and followed. God meets us in our Hearts with love, and gives us a strong magnetic force field to tune into and to be lead by. Invite God to fill your Heart with even more love. The strength and flow of God's love is always coming to you with the same vigor, it is only you who is blocking yourself from receiving that beam of light in full force. With self love you will find the keys to open the door all the way. When the door is wide open, The Path becomes crystal clear.
