Like a ship moving through a stormy sea,

Sometimes it feels we are moving through the day or through life with storms blowing all around us.

Those storms can be storms of people's behaviors that we find difficult,

Situations which suddenly change,

Circumstances that we are used to and rely upon,

Which are no longer the same anymore.

So when these storms are blowing all around us,

How to focus myself and center my mind.

Just like the calmest place in a storm is at the very center,

The eye of the storm.

In the same way,

Let me go to the place of silence and peace within myself and live from there.

That place is the sanctuary of my inner wisdom.

In order to access the wisdom which is within me,

Let me ask myself some deep and focusing questions.

Questions which take me to the very core of my consciousness.

Questions which make me aware of the DNA of my soul.

Questions which bring me closer to the very purpose of my own life.

Questions such as,

Who am I?

Where am I going?

Why am I doing what I am doing?

What is truly important to me?

At the end of the day,

What really matters?

When my life is over,

On what basis will I say,

I led a successful life.

What does success mean to me?

How can I contribute?

How can I be useful?

As I ask myself these deep and meaningful questions and I allow the mind to be quiet,

I listen to the response which comes.

Sometimes the response may come after some time,

But if I keep my mind open to signs and signals from around me,

I will see a pattern forming and I will understand in which direction to move in my life.

Each day let me take some time out to be within my sanctuary of inner wisdom.

Let me allow this wisdom to guide me in my decision-making.

I would live a life of conviction.

I would live with confidence.

I would live in alignment with every part of myself.

And there is no other time when I am the most powerful other than when I am being my true authentic self.
