Ritual Divas: AHA of the week - Why Following Purpose Pushes Our Buttons?

Posted Feb 20, 2010 05:20 PM
I must admit it has been a most interesting week - I felt most emotions and although productive strides forward were made, I also had two 15 melts downs ( that is food for another blog - :^O)

Through it all I had an important AHA moment - most of you probably know this one already - but just in case you don't, I thought I would share. It might actually reassure you. :)

When it comes to purpose and passion - we often feel the fire burning within - we feel compelled to take action and yet we can also feel uneasy and scared. So I started asking myself what that was all about?

Reality is that when you are on purpose and following your passion - you are always on the edge. You always have to be present to what it is you need to learn, do and move toward in order to serve the purpose.

Following your purpose and passion is very different than following what we are good at, what we are expected to do or what we are told we should do.

When following your purpose and passion, the Universe delivers the inspired action usually one step at a time. Where as when we follow tradition or a well known career path - we can see many steps laid out before us at once.

Being anchored into the present moment, and receiving guidance one step at a time requires that we have greater faith and develop our trust in the Universe and trust in ourselves muscles.

Realizing your destiny is not linear. It is very dynamic. Many of the BraveHeart women are following paths for which there are no or few role models yet. These women will be the role models for many others to follow.

And as if requiring faith and trust was not enough - the next step is frequently completely illogical - :that is illogical to the safe, the secure and the status quo.

It also means that we need to cultivate our courage.

Who ever coined the phrase: "Need to be living by insight rather than by eyesight" was right. However our western culture did not raise us to be skilled at this method, and therefore following our passion, our purpose and destiny can push our buttons labeled Uneasy and Scared.

The question we then need to answer is: "How do we cultivate the faith to move forward, when in fact we can intuit and see only the next step?"


Oh yes, and having faith is a choice.:-D

Back to connecting within and asking "Essence, for my highest good and the good of all what does life want of me?"

Thank You to you, my BraveHeart sisters, for the courage you show in your blog posts and your communities. They inspire me to keep moving forward and to follow my purpose and passion.

Cheers to manifesting more Joy, Success and Abundance! ;)

Dearest Lynette,

Your Wonderful Blog post reminds me of the movie... "The Book of Eli"... And, Denzel Washington played Eli...

Along Eli's Purposeful Journey... He quoted throughout the movie...

"We need to walk by FAITH & not by SIGHT..."

And, as he walked by FAITH... He listened to his Inner Voice... & was laser Focused on his Purposeful Journey... Taking the Next Right Steps... No Matter What came his way...

Eli had an "Unshakable Belief & Knowing..." And, eventually... He arrived... By following his Heart....

"Walking by FAITH & not by SIGHT..."

Lynette, Thank YOU for always sharing Your Love, Light & Inspirational Wisdom with ALL of Us... :-x

From my Heart to Yours,
