LIVING OUT YOUR PURPOSE

Do you know what your purpose is?
Do you know who you truly are?
Do you know from where your power flows?
Are you aware of the gifts you have?

These are just some of the questions that we must start asking ourselves. So often we spend life asking questions that do not serve a greater purpose for us. We ask questions that keep us stagnant and complacent. It is time that we start to ask questions that are empowering, questions that serve a purpose. There are a few things that we must know as we start this journey to seek truth and purpose.

1. You are an on purpose with a purpose. What that means is this, you have a purpose here on this earth, regardless of what you have been told, or what you believe, or the decisions that you have made.
2. You can begin to feel strong where you are weak. This is where self-awareness is a key component. Knowing your weakness can only empower you because once you know what your lame is, you can then correct it. When I say lame what I mean is this; a lame is anything that which impedes you from progression.
3. The presence can only do for you what it can do through you.  This is a very important premise to understand. You must know that first you must be open and receiving of your gift and your purpose. You must be willing to give your gift to others. The CREATOR will move through you, but that can only happen when you open your soul and mind to that reality.

These three bullet points are just a brief point of reference in which you can start to ask the questions that will empower you to live from your True Self. From the place of the True Self is Power and Knowledge and from that you will gain Freedom and Peace.

Speak Words That Speak Life

Proverbs 18:21
"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit..."

Your very words have power. They can hurt someone, or they can heal someone. It is all in how you choose to use them. Think about a situation where the very words you spoke had the potential to make the situation better or worse. Think about the time your very words incited anger in another individual, or the time your words provided comfort and solace to someone who may have been going through a rough patch. As you look back at each situation, you should be able to see the power you have at your disposal through your lips. It is important that you speak life into the life of others as well as your own. You can do that by speaking words that are uplifting, positive, and motivational. Each time you speak, you release matter into the universe that has an energy in it. You have the ability to create an opportunity for goodness to happen.

A very component of speaking differently, is by thinking differently. Your thoughts can be just as powerful as the words you speak. Everything about the way we live starts with a thought. Whether you are conscious of this or not, but the way you think has directly impacted the life you are living today.

Ultimately, if you want a different life, you must first change how you think. When you do that then there is a change in the very words you speak and the actions you take. Speak life, use positive words that uplift, inspire, and motivate. See the greatness in yourself and speak that very greatness into existence.

Your best life is waiting for you. All you need to do is speak it into existence.

DON'T LOOK BACK

As you journey through life you will grow to learn that your past is insignificant. Often times, we allow the past to define the present and the future. Regardless of what your past has entailed, each day is a new day to write a new story and start new beginnings. It is impossible to reach greatness that is right before you, while you are constantly looking back. Whatever is behind you is meant to be there.

Now, is the time to decide what it is that you want to do. Do you want to continue holding on to something or someone that you can't change? Or would you rather focus on the here and now and BE PRESENT to what is in front of you, right here and right now? Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Your past does not matter!! It never has. It only continues to matter because you continue to focus on it. Until you stop focusing on it, it will continue to affect the very way you view yourself. Learn from the past and move forward, but don't get stuck there. Your past does not have to haunt you, you don't have to carry it around with you.

Imagine this, you wake up one day, get in your car and the only gear that works is Reverse, but everywhere you needed to go was in Drive. When the gears on your car start to get stuck, the car can't move, it can't go forward. When that happens, you immediately take your car to the mechanic to get it fixed. Well, think of yourself in the same way. Getting stuck in the past or reverse, is no good for you. You can't move forward and now you are either stuck or moving backwards. If you value your car enough to make sure it is moving forward and working effectively, why wouldn't you do the same for yourself?

Clearing A Pathway For Abundance

Everyone deep down desires to live a life of abundance. Financial abundance, a fruitful and abundant family and love life, good health, amongst a plethora of other things. However, many will never fill those desires because they haven't cleared a pathway to receive the things in which they desire. Living a life of abundance is in fact a way of life. It's about how you think and the actions that follow those thoughts. It is one thing to want or to desire something and it is another thing to do something about it.

Many desire great things, but don't believe that they are deserving of those very things they desire and because of that belief they decide not to take action. Abundance is completely unrelated to the very things that exist outside of oneself. In fact, it has everything to do with what exist on the inside. Everything from thoughts, to motives, emotions, and even how one speaks to oneself. Abundance is not based solely on the material gains that one may seek. If you think and move in abundance, then you shall grow in abundance as well. But, please innerstand that I did not say to just think, I also said move. You must put actions to those very thoughts.

Clearing a pathway for a life of abundance is not hard to do. It requires only a few things like, discipline, patience, willingness, open-mindedness and change, just to name a few. You will need to be open to the change that is going to take place during this journey. You must be willing to accept change and make certain changes in your daily life like your thought process and your actions. You must be patient because this process will not be easy and it is not going to happen overnight. There will be joy, pain, happiness, sadness, and some tears on the road to an abundant life, but that is simply life. Be diligent, focused and disciplined. Remember that those desires you hold in your heart require action.

Start to move with intention and speak the very things you want. Now is the time to change how you think and how you speak. Speak LIFE and ABUNDANCE into your life and watch your desires manifest!

THE "MUDDINESS" OF FEELINGS

Feelings are defined as an emotional state or reaction. Feelings are also defined as a "belief". Belief is defined as a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. Now let's break this down further. As individuals, we usually attach feelings or get emotional or reactive to the people, things, and or ideas that we trust, that we "believe" mean something or hold some sort of value. However, often times being in our feelings and becoming reactive or making decisions based on those feelings and or beliefs can be detrimental.

Feelings are not a bad thing, but getting stuck in them can be. In order to move pass your circumstance, whether you have been hurt, wronged, dealt an injustice, or whatever, it is important that you acknowledge how that circumstance and person/people involved have made you feel, so that you can work on moving forward. Denial of any kind is a definite way of causing oneself to stay stuck in the grasp of something or someone mentally and emotionally.

There is a muddy area when dealing with feelings. An area that can get pretty dirty and leave you feeling tired, filthy, and just uuggghhh. It is extremely important that you are aware of your feelings so that you can always stay balanced and centered. If you don't seek to attain this level of self-awareness, you will become more and more reactive as time and circumstances progress, causing one to make poor and often irrational decisions.

There are various steps one can take to better manage and deal with feelings. First, take a deep breath and relax your mind and spirit. Second, think about who or what has caused you to have the feelings you have. Once you have found the source of your feelings, acknowledge them. Acknowledge what exact feelings you are experiencing, acknowledge why you are feeling them (who or what brought about the feelings) and then sit still for a minute as you process it all. Third, you need to ask yourself, are these "feelings" that you are finding yourself stuck in going to change the reality of the situation? Are these feelings going to allow you to move forward freely and successfully? Once you are able to remove your feelings from the situation you are currently in, you will be able to see and move with more clarity. You will be less reactive when dealing with the person and or situation, therefore creating less chaos and unneeded stress.

It is time that we all start to live and work smarter and not harder. For every action there is a reaction and for every cause there is an effect. It is important that we Innerstand that because when we do we will begin to make better decisions that will lead to a smoother life. There will be bumps along the way, but we can definitely minimize the impact of those bumps by making smarter decisions.

YOUR DO IS NOT YOUR WHO

Often times we confuse what we do with who we are. We fail to realize that our "DO" and our "WHO" are two different things. Unfortunately, history has proven time and time again, that so many are judged by what they do. Many people are valued by how they contribute. For example, a person can be of good moral fortitude, honest and faithful, but if the individual is not successful or is not "doing" something worthy of praise in the eyes of others, then he or she is not valued. Another example would be the individuals who may not have made the best decisions at one point and time in their life and because of those choices others have judged them on their actions and not who they are. To further the example, a man is caught stealing, now although the premise for this decision is because his family is hungry and he had no other means of providing at that time. Society will look at this individual and label him a thief and or a criminal. While others may see him as a caring parent trying to take care of his family by any means necessary.

Other examples may be the extremely successful business man/woman, who to the naked eye appears successful, happy and together. Defined by a great career, often times a career that is not being lived from the true self. A career that is merely something he/she is great at, "just business" and has absolutely nothing to do with the individual outside the realm or scope of that business. Other times, an individual can become enthralled in their career that they lose sight of who they are.

Which leads me back to my initial point. Who you are can be much more valuable that what you do. It's important that we don't confuse the two. Now, don't get me wrong. That is not to say that what you do is not invaluable and or not important because it is. But, in the midst of you doing what you do, don't lose sight of who you are. When you acknowledge and live from your true self, then you Innerstand how to separate the two. It is a process, but a process well worth the journey.

YOU ARE ENOUGH

It's amazing how much social acceptance matters to many if not most. The level of self-acceptance seems almost non-existent. Many seek attention through artificial and or superficial gains, that further separate the individual from their true self. It's time to realize and over-stand that YOU ARE ENOUGH!

You're very essence, your very being, your very existence is enough. You are equipped with everything you need to succeed and flourish. It all starts from within. It all starts with the over-standing that YOU ARE IT! Only you can do you and no one can do you better than you. The moment you over-stand that, is the moment that your life will do a complete 180. There is a shift that needs to take place from within. There is a level of acceptance and acknowledgment that needs to happen. There is a space that must be cleared out and filled with love. Not the love from someone else, but filled with the love of self. A love that is so fulfilling and so epic. A love that is Pure, Supreme, and Complete.

It is time to embrace, accept, love, embody, and be fulfilled with all that you are. It's time to know that YOU ARE ENOUGH!!
