The life you really want was always meant to be yours.
This life has been in your soul.
It's been in your heart the whole time,
Just waiting for you to finally notice it.
Waiting for you to recognize that it's there,
And it wants you to grab it and live it and know that there's nothing stopping you.
The excuses,
The pretending,
The waiting,
That isn't real.
That isn't your truth.
Your soul knows.
It always knows.
It has known.
And it will continue to know.
You can deny it.
You can push it down.
You can send it away.
You can let your mind run you back and forth all day for the rest of your life.
But your truth,
Your soul's deepest desires,
Will always keep tugging you.
You can never make that go away.
Sometimes it will be more quiet than others,
Lying dormant for a season until something happens and it's awakened again.
And there it is.
That familiar tug.
That feeling in your stomach.
The uneasiness.
The disease that you tell yourself doesn't matter.
It's always going to be there.
And the more you shove it down,
The more uncomfortable you are going to feel.
But as soon as you let it out,
You awaken to a whole new life.
A whole new way of living.
And all of a sudden the life you knew is flipped over on its head.
And it happened within an instant.
Now you have a whole new perspective.
It's like looking at the world with a totally different pair of eyes,
But the change was instantaneous.
The change is slight,
So no one else would perceive it.
It's a subtle shift,
But its impact is tremendous.
And it changes you.
Suddenly,
You are awake to the fact that the life you want is within reach.
You've just always assumed it wasn't.
We want to be fulfilled.
We want to feel full.
We want to listen to our hearts and our soul.
But we have been told we're not supposed to.
We have been told to push those things down and instead you do what makes logical sense.
You push down your dreams and you make money in a way that is reliable and that sounds reasonable.
You focus on getting by.
Week after week,
Only finding relief in the short bursts of freedom that we call the weekend.
But what if there was another way?
What I know to be true with every ounce of my being is that as long as you are following your joy,
Doing what makes you happy,
Doing what lights you up,
That sets your soul on fire,
There is no way that you won't be successful in that.
There's no way that you can feel unhappy or feel like you failed if you are just following your bliss.
This is the answer.
This is freedom.
Freedom from all the bullshit that we've been fed.
This is your ticket to a happy life,
To living the life you always dreamed of,
To having everything you ever wanted.
When you follow your bliss,
The rest falls magically into place.
You can follow your bliss and the truth of your soul and allow that to lead you to the job you actually want,
The partner you actually want,
And the life you actually want.
So what do we do now?
What do we do after we recognize this truth and we understand it and we can feel that there's truth in these words?
Well,
You start where you are.
You ask yourself,
What feeds my soul?
What does my heart and soul need to experience to feel fulfilled in this lifetime?
To feel like there's nothing that you're holding back,
Nothing that you're missing.
And that's where you start.
You can make a list.
You can write down those things that come to mind and make sure you get really real with yourself.
And now from this list,
Start with one thing.
Remember to keep your eyes and your heart open and you start to make some motions towards this thing.
Maybe you start to do a little research in your community,
Just taking little steps towards this thing.
Keep it in your mind.
See yourself doing it.
Visualize you as a person who does this thing that you thought you'd never do.
Start to believe that this is the new you.
Call it into your life.
Acknowledge that you are open to receiving this into your life.
Maybe that acknowledgement looks like a prayer or just talking to the universe or talking to a power greater than yourself,
Whatever you believe.
And also make sure you acknowledge that you are open to receiving guidance to help you.
And when you do that,
It will show up.
It may show up in the form of an email or a suggestion from a friend,
Or you may overhear a stranger talking about something that could help you.
So just be aware.
Keep that awareness around you everywhere you go.
Guidance can come anytime and from anywhere.
Life is always trying to show us.
It's always guiding us.
But we are generally just too busy or wrapped up in some problem to notice the help that is actually showing up for us.
So open up to it,
Open up to all possibilities,
Open up to the infinite,
Open up and get ready to receive.
Free your soul,
Live your bliss and enjoy your life.
