Have you ever really wondered why you're here on planet Earth? What is your purpose for being here? Was it just a random act that led you to be here right now at this time on the planet? Other than the obvious explanation that your parents created you, why else are you here? What are you here to do? What are you here to learn? What are you here to bring? These are some deep questions, right? And yet, without the answers, you could spend a lot of time spinning your wheels, and a lot of time unsatisfied.
It's important to know why you're here. It's important to know what your gifts are. And most importantly, it's important that you're in alignment with your purpose, that you’re living your purpose. How do you know when you’re in alignment with your purpose, and how do you know when you're not?
It's simple. Are you fulfilled or aren’t you? Are you living a life that reflects all of the goodness that you are? Have you exceeded your wildest expectations of yourself? Are you a shining example of wholeness on planet Earth? Do you genuinely feel good about your life? Do you genuinely feel good about you? Are you fulfilled?
Or……
Are you going to a J-O-B every day, coming home, exhausted, just to pay the bills, and do it all over again tomorrow? Are you in a relationship that is painful, but have resigned yourself to being in it because the alternatives seem overwhelming? Does your body seem to be breaking down a little bit more and more all the time? Are you sick, in physical pain, emotional pain, unhappy, unsatisfied, and feel stuck? Have you given up on your dreams or worse yet, never attempted to pursue them? Do you feel blasé at best, or lack enthusiasm for your future? If so, then chances are you’ve strayed from your lesson plan a bit…and it may be time for an intervention.
In the end, the only thing that matters is how YOU feel about YOU. That’s it.
Did you accomplish what you were here to do? Did you become the person you were always meant to be? Did you love you?
When you are in alignment with your life's purpose, when you know who you are and what you're here to do, and when you take steps towards that vision, your life begins to fall into place, in a way that is most satisfying to you. You start to live your dreams.
Unfortunately, until you are willing to move towards your vision, you will continue to spin your wheels, and feel unsatisfied with yourself and your life. The key to being in alignment with your purpose is pure, unadulterated willingness. You have to really want it. You have to be willing to risk for it. You have to be willing to do things differently. You have to be willing to change. You can't fake willingness, when you do, it's simply “resistance” dressed up in disguise.
Today, search your soul. What would you need to do differently to be in alignment with your deepest heart's desires? What would you need to let go of? What would you need to embrace about yourself? Even if you're not willing right now to make the changes, find the willingness to be willing. That's a good start, and really all you need, to take tiny steps forward towards being in alignment. After all, that's what you're here to do, live your purpose and be fulfilled. The story ends well, that starts with willingness.
