A vital component to living your life’s purpose is listening to (and acting on) what that internal voice tells you. Ok, so that’s two components, but they are linked! The easiest way to connect with it is by asking. It feels weird in the beginning, like you’re going crazy or that you’re hearing voices. But the more you do it, the more you’ll hear it’s responses, and act on them. It’s also important to know that we very rarely get the full story in one sitting. It’s more like pieces of a puzzle that you see the picture being revealed over time. Let me give you a current example…
When the COVID hit in March, I supported the efforts. Two weeks was a reasonable time period. Two additional weeks also seemed reasonable. Then after a month, statistics began to come out and masks became required. I didn’t support this, allowed my anger to fuel me and rebelled. Then I realized, I haven’t a clue as to why I was angry. So I asked in the form of a prayer. Why am I angry? What would you have me do?
The answers were resounding. It’s not necessary (hence my anger) but I want YOU to do it anyway, for me. I’m asking YOU to humble your SELF to me. That’s it. Be willing to do what I ask of you. This was the response I heard and I realized I was acting on self-interest.
When we humble ourselves despite our misgivings, rational or not, scientific or not, we create a space of love. That space gets filled by others who want that love and we grow. All of us grow. Court that inner Holy Spirit we all have. Ask questions of it and you’ll be lead to new heights!
