Do you really know who you are? Until you get clear on who you really are at a core level, you will not be able to even recognize your purpose. It will be an illusion to you. You will wonder, why am I here? Is this life and this job all there is? But when you spend some time getting to know yourself, you will be opened up to a whole new world. You will see the world in a whole new light because you will be looking at it through the eyes of your soul, not just through your personality. Our personalities are so limiting because they know nothing outside of our five senses and the reality that we see around us. When we tune into our soul, we see so much more than what we can see, hear, touch, smell and taste. We are opened up to the universal truths. They are within us – we just need to slow the mind chatter and chaos of life enough so that we can experience them. And once we open ourselves up, we will be able to find our true essence.
Your essence is your life purpose; the inner calling that keeps
prodding you to listen. It is what you want to feel in your life. It
is the overall experience you want to have when you look back on your
life. It is the destiny of your soul, the reason you are here on this
earth in this lifetime.
Your essence cannot be ignored. It will continue to make itself known to you if you are not expressing it. When you do or say something that just doesn’t feel right, that is your soul telling you that you have stepped away from your essence. If you have a feeling of unhappiness or if you feel like something just isn’t quite right, it is because you are not aligned with your essence.
If you continue to neglect your essence, you will forever be searching for happiness. It will always feel like it is out of reach. You won’t feel fulfilled by your job, your relationships, your home and your life in general. You will feel like there is something more out there. You will have a longing sensation for things to change.
I know that it is hard to find the time to sit quietly and get to
know yourself, but believe me when I tell you that you will never feel
fulfilled until you do. My suggestion is to do whatever you need to do.
Rearrange your life in whatever ways you can and find the time. Make it
a priority so that you can experience happiness. Your soul will thank
you for it and it will bless you in so many ways.
