Who Am I?

If you've ever posed the question "Who am I?" or "What have I come here to do?" it may be time for you to set aside just 15 minutes each morning and night to contemplate/meditate on a few questions. I'm finding the following method to be extremely beneficial in reconnecting me with 'what I came here to do'. If you're anything like me, you've probably been told sometime in your life that the direction you wanted to go in was not right/appropriate, wouldn't lead anywhere substantial, you couldn't make a living from that, and so on and on and on. So you followed a 'suitable' or 'acceptable' career and today you feel this awful emptiness inside wondering if life will always be so unfulfilling, yearning to somehow serve in a way that you can truly give of yourself in your own unique way.

Last week we attended a Visionary Leadership program where the speakers were inviting the audience to allow themselves to envision a life for themselves where they followed their passion and connected with their purpose, to live an inspired life! I'll talk more about this program in a later blog, but today I want to share with you a simple process you can do each morning and night to reconnect with your inspired life!

1. Every morning, before you do anything else, take fifteen minutes to contemplate what you are really living for. What is truly important to you? What is of ultimate significance for you? Pause for a little while to get in touch with the answers to these questions. Then ask "What do I need to do to align with that - to be an expression of that in the world?" When doing this process adopt a gentle, listening approach. Stay open to inspiration flowing in to you. Be like an empty vessel that is open to being filled with the inspiration that is ready to pour in to it.

2. Every evening do the same process as above, but this time add in these questions "How did I live my day? Did I do everything I could to live in accord with the deepest truth I know, to align with my higher purpose. Could I have given more?" Contemplate these questions and allow yourself to be filled with the inspiration and guidance that is opening up for you.

3. Ask yourself "What would I need to give up or let go of to be able to align with this highest impulse and guidance within myself and be a vessel for a greater intelligence and power to operate within me?
What is in the way of me stepping into full surrender to and partnership with this creative force that is revealing itself to me? When will I be ready to leave behind those things/thoughts that hold me back from living my authentic self?"

If you take the time to do this contemplation / meditation process each morning and night you'll find in a very short space of time a new peace emerging within you and a sense of connectedness with your inner reason for being. The next step is to act on this guidance. If you feel inspired to connect with someone who may need some help, do it! Whatever subtle guidance or inspiration is given to you - act upon it! Share your gifts spontaneously and with an open heart. More fulfilment is sure to follow!
