And let yourself,
Rest your attention on the seat of consciousness.
This body is my costume and I am the eternal traveler.
And sometimes I forget that.
I'm caught up in the drama of life.
I forget who I am,
Where I came from and what's mine to do.
And at such times,
Maybe you wished that life came with an owner's manual that would show you exactly where you are,
Where you're going to end up and how all parts work together to serve a purpose.
So along my journey and search for purpose in my life,
I've learned a few things that I'm going to share with you.
And these are things that most people don't tell you as you're growing up,
As you embark on this journey,
As you're in the process of awakening.
Awakening to be truly happy.
The first is that the only way to find yourself is to completely lose your way.
From where you came,
Everything made sense.
To where you're going,
Nothing makes sense.
This is life.
This is the way.
You might even feel like you're losing your mind when you begin to come alive to your life and discover that what you have been doing just isn't going to cut it any longer.
You might actually end up losing the things you worked so hard for.
You might stand to lose a few of the most precious things in this process.
Second,
When you are lost,
The things that worked for you once will stop working for you.
Have you ever heard the expression,
Jump and the net will appear?
Well,
The reality is life looks more like this than as you jump off the cliff.
You take a leap of faith,
Risk everything and go for it.
And you'll trip.
You will fall.
You will stumble.
You'll get scuffed up on your elbows.
You'll cut up your hands.
Grass clutch and scream on the way down,
Wondering if you're ever going to survive the fear of the fall.
Then after breaking through a few safety nets,
Falling into the deepest darkness of the abyss,
You will enter into the complete unknown.
And that's where the treasures lie.
Bringing us to number three,
You will find a new way,
Your way.
You will try others ways and they won't work for you.
You will find your way,
The only way that is meant for only you.
And your way is uniquely designed for you.
And only you can find this way.
Most people are afraid.
Be careful of others who give you quick fix advice or try to sell you a 10-step strategy for happiness.
There is no quick fix.
And it is difficult to find your own unique way.
But there is nothing more rewarding you can spend your time doing in this lifetime.
Most people have never done the great thing in their life that you're attempting to do.
And so they're scared of what it means if you accomplish what you've set out to do.
Because that means you might still have to do the thing that they are meant to do and that is too scary.
That brings us to number five,
Do not expect perfection.
Do not aim for perfection.
The expectation of perfection,
Of total security,
Of knowing all things before they happen and how your life will unfold if achieved would create a state of stagnancy upon which there would be no further growth.
Realistically,
There is no such state that exists,
No such state of having arrived into that state of perfection.
True wealth is an absolute knowing that everything you need is within you.
How we become truly wealthy is different for each and every one of us.
And how we define our own personal wealth is incredibly important to spend time defining so that we may make sure that we are in alignment with our own personal truth while making money so that we have the capacity to sustain it while enjoying ourselves.
This is freedom.
Number seven,
The ability to reframe failure and not take yourself so seriously at times will be exactly what propels you towards living a more extraordinary life.
It will be what will set you apart from the rest who are too afraid to try and fail and therefore will never truly know or understand who they are and what makes them happy.
So sit with those things that were deemed failure and ask yourself,
What is the lesson?
How has that shaped me?
Reframe the narrative.
Number eight,
Arriving at your destination is not the point.
You will come to learn that fulfillment,
Life purpose and happiness is in who you become.
And who you become is a result of following your heart and the process of making the welcome in your life your unique destiny and fulfilling that which you and only you were meant to fulfill in the first place.
And I want you to please bring your palms together in prayer position at your heart center.
And I want you to please rub your palms against each other.
The palms are an energy vortex in your body and as you embrace them you're igniting the chi the prana,
The life giving,
The healing energy.
And when you feel a nice warm ball of this chi I want you to go ahead and apply cupping one eye with one palm.
Both your palms on your eyes and blessing yourself letting this chi percolate through you and blessing yourself that may clarity reign in my mind may love reign in my heart may health reign in my body and may the obstacles in my life be removed may I know the fear that comes with following my path but do it anyway creating a life that's uniquely mine defining success that is my own and not succumbing to following the crowd and I'll ask that you please go ahead and put your palms facing outwards as if you're sending a blessing out into the world and imagine there is someone,
Some people or some place that could really use this blessing right now and I want to visualize,
I want you to visualize that person people or place and send a blessing as if it was a beam of light that is emerging from your heart shining towards that person people or place may their obstacles be removed may they find true joy may health reign in their bodies clarity reign in their mind and love reign in their hearts now bring your palms back together and pray a position let your heart center and take a bow of gratitude for what we have received and notice how you're feeling right now notice how you're feeling right now compared to when you joined us 35 minutes ago and if you could summarize how you're feeling right now in one word,
What would that be?
I ask that you please share that one word in the comments
