Purpose filled Path and Family
Greetings….
As I have just arrived back to Chicago after a 4 day trip back to my home town of Kansas City, I have realized
that 2 1/2 years ago I made a decision that would change the rest of my life forever. For those of you that have
seen the movie The Matrix, as I sat in a spirituality class tonight my thoughts began telling me that the choice I made a few years ago to follow my heart and my vision was like Neo making the choice of taking Red Pill or the Blue Pill. The Blue pill would allow Neo to wake up and everything would be the same as it was before, but the Red Pill would change the way he looks at life forever and he could never turn back.
Do you wake up almost everyday and tell yourself there has to be more to life than this? There has to be something I can do to find greater purpose and passion in my life.
I use to wake up and have these very same thoughts that kept me in a deep state of anxiety and fear that I would end up doing something the rest of my life that would keep me feeling worthless.
So as I began to ask these questions, or I should say these questions kept asking me, people began appearing in my life that were ready, able, and willing to help me become the person I knew myself enternally to be. To help instill confidence, belief, and a greater since of worthiness in myself. So I sit here now and find that after taking the “Red Pill” choice in my life, I have discovered that this has led me to daily love, inspiration, and joy. Though, in the world we live in there is always two sides to everything. In the world of form there exist duality. Ying and Yang, good and bad, short and tall, black and white.
So many of you who have taken this huge leap of faith and followed your heart in whatever that looks like have probably found that this often changes you so much that you no longer really relate or share common interests with those that you did before. Often times this includes your family as well.
As I was in Kansas City, I always look for a breath of hope that I can share this inner joy and abundance with my family and past friends, but as I have found I have travelled down a different path with different interests. It doesn’t make my path any better or worse, though it does create great spiritual lessons for me to not place judgement on them or get frustrated with some of their decisions. I look forward to sharing laughs that we always expressed together and for some reason the things that I used to laugh at no longer make me laugh.
It’s not an easy place to be in, so if you are reading this and you have been through this or are going through it then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Life is all based on beliefs. Anything you put your belief to is possible. I heard a saying tonight that said, “if you want to know someones beliefs just look at their life.” Allow yourself to let Go and Let God take over your life. Have faith and Trust that all is well and all is exactly the way its suppose to be. Even if sometimes things seem difficult. If you have any thoughts or want some coaching around an area in your life, give me a call or email for a free session.
Follow your heart and you will do the world good.
I enjoyed reading your blog. On this particular subject of coming home and how things were the same yet different I see this too. As I watch my nieces and nephews and my own sons grow up I am amazied to find how different thier attitudes and points of few change. Then again I also realized that this is part of our own “each individual” growing up in life. I remember as a little girl all the times I was together with cousins and spending the nights and having fun, my uncles and aunts teasiing me and such. It was strange to see how as I got older this all changed and we grew so far apart yet the memories are always there to reflect back on. Times changed and so did I not just them. However I also understood that in allot of ways people cannot or will not see the change in others and will in many ways reflect negatively on the new “grown” up person. Therefore I came to realize that I have to rely on myself, my faith, my inner being to stay grounded and focus. My Grandmother all ways said if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I think that also goes with believeing there is something nice about someone and attempting to find the good in them and keeping that focused rather then focus on negative attidudes (sp)=?). I believe people can get in a habit of negativity, therefore you can also get in the habit of being happy and positive. Still life sometimes will get you down, but hopefully not for long. Remembering the good times as a child and hopeing you can give your children those same good memories to reflect back on as they grow up will carry our family through until we are all old, gray, and still enjoying the times God gives us.
