Happy 2006!
What a great way to start the year by looking at your life purpose.
Here is your January soul lesson – use it to look at your year ahead.
If you ask me, life is too short NOT to build a life that feels
meaningful and on purpose. So claim a life of meaning as you head into
this brand new year.
love

Living your Life purpose
by Colleen-Joy Page
You are on purpose and your existence matters. Without you, there would
be something crucial missing from the universe. Without you the
universe would not be the same. You may only feel like a drop in the
ocean, but I tell you this, you have the power of the ocean inside of
you … and the ocean knows you, even if you have forgotten the ocean.
When you find the ocean in you, you will feel like the river the runs
towards the sea, not trying to climb hills but simply flowing in
accordance with the deeper calling that draws you nearer to fully merge
with your greatest self.
Have you ever had that annoying experience of going to a room to fetch
something only to stand there wondering what you went there for?
Standing there wondering, “What am I here for?” – that annoying feeling
of having forgotten what you came here for – sounds a lot like life
doesn’t it? You wake up one day with that same annoying feeling –
having forgotten what you are here for in the first place. Why did I
come here? Like it’s on the tip of your tongue but you just can’t seem
to grasp it, “what am I here for?”
There are 2 primary goals in any lifetime. The first and most important
is BEING. The 2nd goal is dependent on the first. The 2nd goal is
DOING. Most people believe that they are here to DO something and so
they spend time worrying about whether they are doing what they are
here to do. Many are even hoping that they can just get the doing part
over so that they don’t have to come back again. I can’t tell you how
many students have asked me, “What am I here to do – what is my
purpose, I want to know so that I can do it and not have to come back!”
If you focus on DOING you may miss the point entirely.
BEING is the priority, DOING is just bonus.
Let’s explain this crucial point further. Which provides more growth? Being and feeling worthy or doing what worthy people do!
Being a creative person or doing what creative people do?
Being soul or doing what spiritual people do!
Painting a picture does not mean that you FEEL and know yourself as an
artist. Giving to charity does not mean that you FEEL and KNOW yourself
as charitable. Lighting candles and burning incense does not mean
that you KNOW yourself as SOUL.
It is the BEING, THE KNOWING and the FEELING that we are after. If your
soul has struggled with self worth over many lifetimes it is not here
to do worthy things, it is here to BE worthy and know WORTH. This is
the difference between belief and knowing.
Doing can be done from belief or knowing. Knowing comes from being. An
apple tree does not think, “Gee am I here to do apples!” The apple tree
says ” I am an apple tree”, so anything that the apple tree does is an
expression of being an apple tree. If the apple tree doesn’t know it’s
an apple tree it may spend much time trying to make oranges. If the
apple tree stumbles across making apples – it may feel in that moment a
sense of peace, energy, joy or inspiration (all signs of the doing that
is an expression of the true self) but if it still is out of touch with
who it is it may easily go back to doing oranges.
So align with your life purpose by focusing on BEING the truth of who
you are. Focus on transforming all of the fear inherent in your body
about BEING who you are born to be. Then the doing becomes a natural
expression of who you are, as easy as an apple tree making apples.
Another point to think about here is that you are not actually trying
to change who you are. An apple tree who has forgotten who he is, is
not trying to turn into an apple tree. He is trying to become conscious
of who he is already. And he is trying to free himself to BE true to
himself. Are you being true to yourself?
When you go looking for life purpose – You are trying to do the same.
To live your life purpose look for the apple tree within, release it
and let your true self grow to the full stature of your being.
Look out for your February lesson on remembering your past lives.
