It's been a while since I last posted on this blog, and I'll explain the reason in a few moments. First, let me say that this post could very well be a continuation of my previous post: "From Darkness Into Light".
In my previous post I explained how I had finally been able to answer the eternal "Who am I?" question that everyone sooner or later asks themselves. Today's topic speaks of what comes after you've been able to answer that question.
You see, in my case, I was able to answer that question with a conviction unlike anything I've ever experienced. I clarified what my main goal and passion in life is, and I made a few good choices that moved me closer to fulfilling that ideal. A few months went by though, and nothing. I haven't made any further progress, and my once crystal clear vision has become blurry and out of focus.
I've been working in financial services for the past five years, and while it's a great industry and I get to work with diverse and interesting individuals, it is not what I am supposed to be dedicating my life to. This year has been, for me, the lowest production year I've ever had, even though some of my colleagues are doing just fine. This is a clear message that God and the universe are trying to tell me: I AM NOT ALIGNED WITH MY PASSION.
I believe that we are all on a path of self-growth and self-discovery. We all have different stages we need to go through, and when we get stuck in one of these stages, the world will let us know.
Why didn't I struggle during the previous 4 years? Quite simpy because I wasn't ready to move to the next stage of growth. I first had to experience other situations that I've since experienced, and for that reason the work I know and do so well has become more difficult, and the sales have become more scarce. God is trying to tell me something.
I read many books and listen to many audio-books, mostly of self-help, business or spiritual genre. I generally try to avoid books of any one particular religion, because of it's divisive nature, however, I just finished listening to "It's Your Time", by pastor Joel Osteen yesterday. Joel's messages are always more inspiration and less doctrine. His message in this book is this: Believe you have a higher purpose and that God is ready to bless your path towards your destiny. This message resonated with me, and it got me in the right spiritual and mental place.
Then today, something wonderful happened. A seemingly insignificant act led to an incredibly encouraging message that a stranger sent to me. This person had found my blog, and was moved by, what she called, the power of my spirit. The fact that she went out of her way to seek me out and send me an email is incredibly humbling, and my heart was full of joy after reading her message.
It's not coincidence that this just happened today, a day in which I again felt aligned with my purpose, and had complete faith in God that my dreams will come true. What this has clearly indicated me, is that God is ready. God is willing. He's only waiting for us to take that first step toward our higher purpose, and he will release so many blessings into our lives that we won't believe it at first.
Don't waste time, and don't ignore your destiny. As long as you are aligned with the right purpose, YOUR purpose, the blessings will be there waiting for you.
:) Much love to ALL!
