Where are you currently heading?

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.
