Are you living what you care most about?

One of the most important and powerful things Journal Writing has helped me to do is create for myself a clear idea of what my life as a whole is really all about. Starting with the question ‘WHO AM I?’ ‘WHO AM I REALLY?’

I believe I’m an energetic (or spiritual) being, here on earth for a limited time in this human form. Then there are a whole lot of ideas and roles layered on top of that basic truth that make up the specifics of this human, earth experience. Like I’m an Australian/ Middle Eastern woman. I’m a mother, I’m a wife, I’m a sister and daughter. I’m an animal loving, nature loving, and peace loving spirit. Etc etc.

Take the time today to ask yourself ‘WHO AM I?’

Following figuring out that I am in fact a living being here on earth for a limited time came the question ‘WHY?’ ‘WHY AM I HERE?’

‘WHAT PURPOSE DOES MY LIFE HAVE?’

This one had me stumped for a while because I was looking in all the wrong places. I was sure there was an answer to this very important question. I felt sure my life must have some meaning and I wanted with every fibre to figure out what it was. I read a lot of books. And I looked around at other people trying to find what the purpose of my life was…..

Then I came a cross a new and liberating idea.

‘WHAT IF I COULD CHOOSE MY OWN PURPOSE?’

What if my purpose wasn’t predetermined or anywhere outside of myself? What if in fact my purpose was just waiting on me to choose it? How could I then make such an important decision? If I could choose, how would I choose? How would I know what was a purpose I could really live into and be inspired by at every moment?

Then it dawned on me, I would connect my purpose to what really matters most to me. That way it would be my perfect match. It seemed true to me that my purpose, while being engaging should also fit me so well that it was as natural as breathing.

To discover my purpose, using my journal, I worked on the questions

‘WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST TO ME?’

‘WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST, DEEP, DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART?’ I also asked, ‘WHAT DO I REALLY LOVE MOST?’

To answer these questions it’s important to quite the chaos of a busy life and go within. Journal writing is PERFECT for this. Find a space that is all your own, breath deeply, relax, then ask yourself ‘WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST TO ME?’ then write whatever you feel. No need to be poetic or over think, just jot what ever comes.

Here’s to You enjoying the discovery of who you really are now in this moment.

Looking forward to hearing what you discover. Love, Soli xxxxx
