my streWe all wonder at some point what our true destiny in life is. We ask questions like; what is my true nature? What occupation/business will work for me effortlessly?
Well, I think we can find our answers by looking first at Mother Nature for a perfect example of how there is peace and harmony and flow with the way she works.
There is no forcing in nature. Notice how naturally and easily the change of seasons occur. Yes, some forces are violent but, there seem to be a cleansing after they occur. This phenomenon is for another article.
The question remain, why do we force upon ourselves jobs, businesses and friends that are contrary our nature. If it goes against your nature it will prove a struggle and will not be successful for you. One of my friends says it aptly, “ It is like giving birth to a set of dishes.’ Impossible!
Have you heard someone say I would do this if I did not get paid or I love doing this. Do you feel this way about your occupation?
You know what your strengths and joys are. You know what you get involved in and time seem to stand still. Look at what makes you happy and what you are doing when you feel peace and joy. Out of these things you will find your true love, your destiny and a path to follow.
What are some of the signs that you are not on your path?
• Do you hate your work?
• Are you constantly stressed at work?
• Do you have trouble sleeping?
• Do you feel overloaded and taxed to the limit?
We are all stressed at times. However, If you answer yes to several of these questions consistently, you are certainly not doing what you are destined to do. You are not on your true path.
You have heard the expression do what you love, follow your passion and money will follow. This is true really because, when you follow your passion you work tirelessly toward the end result, achieving your goals. You will do whatever is necessary to stay true to yourself. It will not be a struggle. Doors will open that were shut and people will show up to assist you out of nowhere. It can be quite magical.
Working your personal path is like a river flowing downstream. It flows easily and effortlessly. It is a beautiful thing.
If you have not found your path ask yourself what am I destined to do and quietly wait for the answer and it will come. When it does you will know it. It could come as a slap in the face or a gently tap. It will show up if you are sincere. When it does, listen.
This quotation by Hardy D Jackson says it all:
“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”?
Is it foolish to look toward others for your true path. Your path is as unique as your fingerprints. Your path may be similar to others but, you must put your personal stamp on your path.
Do not come to the end of your days on this planet not doing what you love and what you are destined to do, become and have.
Honor yourself!
