On several occasions growing up, particularly in my late teens, I was plagued by what can only be described as a relentless prodding, an internal ache that didn’t reside in the physical body, and over time became seriously distracting and increasingly urgent. If I focused on it for too long, it would drive me mad.
I knew I was meant to be doing something great with my life, but oddly enough, try as I might, as with anything, the more I forced for clarity, the more I muddied the waters. I was consistently left feeling inadequate and impotent. I felt it was crystal clear that I needed to make a difference in the world, that I was supposed to be doing something “significant” but how was I supposed to go about creating it. Over time, I came to experience an epiphany and with it, the purpose of my life quietly emerged.
With the passage of time I concluded that this urge, ache or itch is our soul screaming hello. Mine was trying to make itself known by helping to elucidate my life’s purpose. However, I had not as yet learned how to listen to "it", nor was I entirely sure what a "soul" was, just yet. In the beginning I thought of it as my inner voice although I felt it wasn’t of me. Yes, sounds a bit schizoid, but there you have it.
I was afraid to get things wrong, to choose incorrectly, or to make a mistake. I was frozen with fear until I learned that life offers us more than one chance to get things right. I had a kaleidoscope of interests and was curious about everything. Finding my soul’s purpose came, finally, with time and perseverance. Eventually, I learned to let go, to savor life and to allow life’s events to lead me invisibly toward my destination of doing something significant.
Through truly living, I’ve remembered who I am, a beautiful soul, as all among us are. I have learned to share my passions and to honor them. My work in "Reiki" energy healing and recently in animal energy healing, have enriched my life enormously. These have given my life purpose. Disregard all who try to diminish your life’s work whatever it be and move forward with purpose and meaning.
Love & Light,
