Digging Yourself Out Of A Deep Hole Of Fear, Lack And Struggle
Purposeful Point: No matter how deep a hole of fear, lack and
struggle we find ourselves in; it is possible to return to our
true purpose. Here are a few ways to bring our lives back on
purpose.
It can happen to the best of us. We're cruising along in our
lives having a merry old time of living true to our life purpose
where our thoughts, decisions and actions are consistent with
our vision for what's possible, our core values, and even with
the essence of our very soul, when suddenly we hit a bump in the
road. Some of those bumps can be huge and can send us into a
deep hole of fear, lack and struggle.
How do we dig ourselves out of these 'depressions?' Well, the
principle I'd like to suggest working with is the Universal Law
of Attraction that simply states that like attracts like. We
bring into our consciousness and into our experience that which
we stay focused on.
For example, have you been caught up in the aftermath reporting
of Katrina? Remember, much of the media's focus is fear based.
It drives the media and if we're not awake and aware it can end
up driving us off the road and into the ditch.
The following questions are intended to start the process of
reversing the 'snowball' effect of our thoughts and feelings.
1. Who are 5 people you love in your life? What do you love
about each one of them? What else?
2. What do you love about your life? What else? Identify at
least 10 specifics things about your life you love and can
appreciate?
3. What do you love about yourself? What else?
4. What do you know works to deepen your connection to God? Come
up with at least 3 specifics, then do at least one of them each
day for the next 3 days.
And here are a few specific actions that will jumpstart a
purposeful pivot through the fear/lack/struggle and back on
course with your life being shaped by Love/abundance/flow:
1. Connect to the love of God by being fully with your loved
ones -- expressing your love for them and allowing them to share
their love with you. Be with them with the intention to connect
with the love of God.
2. Connect with the love of God by taking time by yourself in
some beautiful part of nature. Your choice what that would be.
I'd plan on this being an hour if possible or more. Go with the
intention to connect with the love of God.
3. Connect with the love of God by being of service to someone.
I'd suggest you be of service to someone you know and also be of
service to someone you've never met. Be of service with the
intention to
EMPOWER OTHERS TO LIVE ON PURPOSE
