Do you know where your current path is taking you?
Education, religious upbringing, core family beliefs and
friend’s values have been shaping your life up to now. You’re
busy with life, work, partner, kids and socials and have little
or no time to stop and think about where you’re life is heading.
In fact sometimes you hear a tiny voice in your head say, ‘I
think I’m losing my identity.’
Ninety-four percent of people don’t know where they’re heading.
Little wonder then that life seems to go around and around in
circles. And unless you take time out it won’t get any better.
Twenty years from now you’ll still be working like a dog works
when it’s chasing its tail. And that tiny voice… well if you can
still hear, it will be saying, ‘I’ve well and truly lost my
identity!’
And what is your identity? I say your identity is who you really
are, not your job, or your exam results, or your religious
persuasion or your family name or your bank balance or how much
you do to care for your dependants. No, you’re identity is
something else…
You we’re born into this world with a unique gift and a
distinctive way of expressing it, the problem is, with so many
other influences on you in your youth and adulthood you’ve
forgotten what those things are. Now you’re programmed and
running a set pattern of behaviour in what I’d call ‘The
Existence Mode.’
Your sense of identity in fact has most probably helped form a
person who you are not and maybe even don’t like too much
(grumpy, often tired, overweight, apathetic…) rather than who
you really are. But changing it, after years of shaping you into
this person you are now, seems like a task, way, way too massive
to even contemplate.
Yet while you continually throw your heart into doing what seems
right, performing in ‘The Existence Mode’ your soul is
searching. (That’s why you are reading this now and identifying
yourself in my words).
Your soul wants you to do the logical thing. Align with your
true identity – become all that you are. It doesn’t want to see
you floundering one day more. It doesn’t want you to be lost,
fed-up, mentally beating yourself or picking on the ones you
love. It wants you to be free.
Begin your search now.
Understand that you were born with a unique talent and a
distinctive way of expressing it; understand that at some level
you already know your life purpose and that it has just become
buried and that all you need now is just some time and a little
help to uncover it; understand life purpose is not just job
specific, though work is a key element because of the hours
spent doing it; understand without clarity of life purpose
living becomes existence. Until you know what you want you’ll
continue to run on the pre-programmed Existence Mode’.
Finding out who you really are and where you are really heading
takes a little time and may cost you some money. It’s a journey
– a journey that leads to self-fulfillment, greater rewards at
work and greater, all-round happiness.
