What sustains you?
What puts a smile on your face and lights up your heart?
What keeps the embers of your soul on fire?
What really matters deeply to you?
It is so easy to get caught up in the ongoing activities and demands of our lives. We often forget or lose track of what is most meaningful to us.
There are two things that give my life profound meaning. The first is the process of my own spiritual awakening. The other is helping others to raise the level of consciousness from which they are living their lives. I welcome every opportunity to contribute to raising someone’s consciousness to look upward and inward rather than downward and outward.
These are the things that, if all else were stripped away, would continue to sustain my spirit and enrich me. What about you? What is the source of the deepest meaning of your life?
For over 40 years I have consciously, intentionally, and actively participated in my own spiritual enrichment. As a result, I have evolved an understanding of life’s purpose and a worldview that has changed the course of my life for the better. It guides and nourishes me each and every day.
Experientially knowing that we are all divine beings having human experiences casts a very different light on my daily trials and tribulations. There is an inner freedom I have found in this journey that I treasure. It is the knowledge that I am free to create, promote or allow whatever I choose to participate in within my own consciousness. Regardless of what others say or do to me or about me or with me, my mind is mine to do with as I choose. As Richard Lovelace (1618-1657) wrote:
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for a hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.
My life offers me so many opportunities to be of service to others. Through my writing, mentoring, teaching, or simply by being a friend, my life is rich in opportunities to help others.
Being of service is a beautiful win/win experience for me. The more I give, the more blessings seem to flow through my life. For example, when caring for my mother at the end of her life I was gifted with the realization of how deeply I am capable of loving.
Every day, as I work with clients, we learn from each other. And, as they set themselves free from the beliefs, memories, and fears that have burdened them, my soul sings. To be a part of their process and to bear witness to their liberation makes me jump for joy inside.
