Commenting On Belief

 

The picture says:  Believe with all of your heart that you will do what you were made to do.  - Orison Swett Marden (Author of fifty or more books and booklets)

*********************************

There is a common question that many ask – the question is “What is my purpose?”   It is very difficult for another to answer something that is so personal to your soul contract.

A Course In Miracles (ACIM) (written by Helen Schucman) is a book that talks a bit about life’s purpose.  Summarized the ACIM definition of life purpose is to be the best human that you can be.  To be that best person does not mean you have to write a book, or be a musician, or a great politician, or healer.  It means that you have to be as kind, compassionate, and forgiving as you can, every day. 

I think that many people confuse their gifts – singing, art, writing, leading, or whatever the gift is, with their life purpose.   I think that one’s gift can help them be the best human they can be.  My observation is that many people sacrifice their human-ness for their gifts, believing that they are answering a higher calling.  The relationship wreckages left along the way make their calling suspect. 

However, each person has the right to follow their path, and to do it without explaining it to anyone. 

May you find your way.

Blessings,

What Is Motion?

Picture from freeimages.com - showing male with briefcase walking and a large hand indicating that he should stop.

 

Motion carries you as you work through your purpose. Purpose is simply taking action, doing what you know you need to do without the prompting or without following other’s expectations. When you are in motion, you are searching. Although you may believe that you know the destination, along the way, it may change. So, watch for the signs that appear to you to changes directions. – Meditation #6 from Earth Wisdom Meditations by Judith Hirst 

Every time I hear the words, “if you don’t move forward, you move backwards”, I think of the times that I have been doing some task or project, and I hear the words, ‘Stop!”  I think that there are times when we must stop searching for that elusive “thing” that we are seeking – success, pleasure, closure, teaching, answers, or even love.  

The “stop” is the signal to change direction and plans.  Stopping is not failure; stopping is success!  You have now opened another door, and you set a new path for yourself.

Congratulations.

Blessings,

Judy

Hold On To Your Power

The changes are happening so fast around me that sometimes I feel like a top, spinning and bouncing off what ever gets in the way.  At the same time, I feel calm and centered.  How can there be this much contrast in change?

I asked the Angels.  They said that our lives are really like hurricanes.  The hurricane is calm at the center.  The further one is from the center, the stronger the chaos is in the hurricane.  A light bulb went off!

As long as I stay true to my purpose or my what my heart tells me is right for me, then I am calm and peaceful.  When someone tries to force you or manipulate you into doing something that you are uncomfortable with, then the pushing of the chaos happens.  Another’s will is pushing against our will.  Each of us must hold on to our own power.

For some reason, I found this discussion quite comforting. 

Blessings,

Judy

Spirit Talks About Purpose

There is a saying that Spirit speaks and that one has to listen to be clear on the message.  This story is about how Spirit speaks to me.

______________________________________________

For the past several weeks, I keep getting PURPOSE as the word of the day, at least once per week.  I wondered why this was coming up for me because I think I live my purpose.  Here is what the word means “something set up as an object or end to be attained” from the Merriam Webster online dictionary.

I found a variety of posters on the subject as well.  Here is one of my favourites.

              

The poster says —- The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

And, I liked this one as well.

This comes from design.ag/inspiration/typography-showcase.

As I reflected on “purpose”, I began to wonder about all the legends and “how to” articles that suggest different ways of finding one’s purpose.  The Shaman of our Ancestors’ tribes did a rite of passage with each child as they came to puberty to help them find their place in the tribe.

The Mayans had three great wheels that showed the purpose of one’s life.  So, the day that you were born on, became your purpose.  The movement of the wheel indicated the purpose of each day.  Today’s message is (from www.mayanmajix.com) :

Each tribe or nation had and has its own belief system.

I kept hearing “purpose” echoing in my head.  I decided that our purpose is probably quite simple.  It is to help others have their experience as each of us has our own experience.  Our purpose is to grow as much as we can.  

What do you think?

Blessings,

You Have Boundless Energy Within You

 

You have heard the saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".  It seems that the last several months in Alberta have proved that saying over and over as various things happen to people.  Fires, displacement from homes because of fires, layoffs, tragedies, giving up homes because mortgages cannot be met, facing disease, and the list goes on.  The balance of life seems out of whack. 

I look at the firefighters that have been battling the fires in the North of Alberta, and I say that these men must have found that place inside themselves where nothing is impossible for they are doing the impossible.  They are filled with Purpose.  They have created a change in the way that the fire behaves.  They have fought and prayed, and called on Creator to help them.  They are filled with positivity, with hope, even when everything is black and smoke filled.  Wow.

Many Blessings,

Judy

Your Life Purpose

 

Clients always ask me, "What is my life purpose?  I know I have one.  I just don't know what it is!"

My response is always - you need to become the best person that you can be and to share that with the Universe.

The poster above is a different take on life.  I like it!  "Make your heartbeat match the beat of the Universe."  Or, learn to go with the flow of the Universe.  Beat as one.  What an exciting life goal to have!

It is hard, however to be in step with Nature.  It is not our nature to move easily and freely with the weather and with the seasons.  We want to be in control.  No one really knows why.  

Today, listen to the heartbeat of the Universe.

Blessings

Joyous

 

This day, I will be absolutely joyous.  I will feel all the good and the beauty in the world, and I will move forward with great purpose.  I will let those around me feel the joy.  The light of joyous will shine from me.

I use joyous to erase the sadness and the hurt and the humiliation that those around me may suffer from.  I recognize that I choose to be joyous.  I am totally grounded in joyousness.

Moving forward from this day, I will carry joyous with me in my pocket so that I can pull it out and wave it at situations that will pull me down.

I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile and I want to make people laugh. And that's all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy. - Doris Day

Many blessings, 

Judy
