Do you know who you are? Have you taken that inner journey to see your soul? Have you locked away your passion? Do your feel broken and wonder what is missing?
You have done lots of different things with your life. You have some significant achievements. Yet you wonder where it is all going and what it means for you. Or (maybe and)…. You have bounced from thing to thing or place to place and not really fit in. Your head is full of ideas yet you cannot seem to get them out there or no one acknowledges their value.
Soul searching is cliché like and yet an age old journey. It starts with knowing who you are and what contributed to who you have become. Beginning with your genes, characteristics, and including: family, community, environment, time in history, values, beliefs, desires and dreams. That alone takes some serious exploration and assessment. We have options, choices, ability to decide who we are and where we are going.
The Soul is our core being from which life springs. It is the whisperer of our being. It is our connection with God, the Universe, Life Force – whatever you may connect with. The Soul is where our Passions reside – that which has great importance to us and ignites our intrinsic motivation. What we are passionate about can be – living life simply and with care, or making a major difference in the world. Passions are who we are and there is choice – quiet within or demonstrative without. The expression of our Soul is a choice.
Knowing who we are and consciously choosing our expression comes from our connection with our Soul. We need to understand ourselves, acknowledge and respect ourselves, connect with ourselves to be whole. We can do this in many ways – intense study & development, music, art, writing, nature, meditation, breathing, physical movement, or….
We overcome the void we feel by connecting with our Soul, becoming whole, expressing our own being. Yes, doing no harm; opening ourselves to living which involves pain and joy; and connecting with others are all part of the process. The journey is one of discovery and mastery. Take that leap of faith open your eyes, your mind, your body, your heart and connect with your Soul.
