I have been wondering what my Life Purpose is, it doesn’t seem clear to me so that I have that “I Know That I Know” feeling. Today the Universe sent me this:
You’ll know when you need to know, Lee, and not a moment earlier.
That’s how it works when the answer you’re looking for depends on other events that must first settle, new players that need to be gathered, and serendipities that are still being calculated.
Lee, sometimes, not even I know, until I know.
But you will,
The Universe
In the meantime, Lee, keep dreaming, keep busy, and if you’re feelin’ it, do a little happy dance.
At the moment, very few times of feeling like doing a happy dance. However, I had an email from Jenna Avery about Life Lesson and Life Purpose – they aren’t the same.
Your Life Lesson Is What You Are Here to Teach
I firmly believe in the adage that “you teach what you are here to learn.”
Your Life Lesson is the perfect insight to exactly what it is that you’ve signed up to master in this lifetime.
The skills, knowledge, and training that you need to help you overcome your own bête noir willmasterfully support you to help other people with their own struggles, whether you help them literally and directly as a teacher or through another means, like through your creative work and how that work affects and heals them.
Your Life Lesson can and should be a central part of your Right Work. Your life lesson is your blind spot. You won’t know you’re doing it to yourself unless you really learn to watch for the red flags and be alert to the signals that your life lesson is coming on. Even advanced students of life are still working on their life lessons. (Remember what I said last time? If you were done, you’d be dead.
Use Your Life Lesson to Unlock Your Life Purpose
Understanding your Life Lesson is actually the secret key to “unlocking” your Life Purpose.
What does that mean, unlocking?
Each of us is born to a certain task — a certain way of being and taking action in the world. This is your Life Purpose — the Big Thing, that when fulfilled, puts you in a place of true alignmentwith yourself and your inner Essence.
Once you discover what that is, you can set out on a course of pursuing it, of making it a central theme in your life, and of organizing your Right Work around it.
But interestingly enough, you’ll find that your Life Lesson will keep cropping up along the way, tripping you up, causing challenges, and generally throwing you off course, but when you “exalt”your life lesson, which means that you treat it almost as if it is your life purpose, you’ll find that it can become your greatest ally.
In other words, you want to discover what the inverse of your life lesson would be, and do that.
Weil, that definitely has had me thinking – so many possibilities as I have been working through stuff about childhood programs recently. I do wonder if it is better for me to discover what my life lessons are rather than having someone tell me. Jenna will do hand print readings to tell you your life lessons and your life purpose.
UPDATE – I started this post a while ago and wasn’t sure how to finish it since I really don’t have any answers for myself at this point. Then Friday a note from The Universe came that really helped me:
| Peculiarly, Lee, did you know that the single most effective piece of advice ever given to anyone who wanted a life partner, is the exact same single most effective piece of advice ever given to anyone who wanted to live in prosperity?!
Which also happens to be the single most effective piece of advice ever given to anyone who wished to discover their purpose, foster peace on earth, improve their health, or dance Gangnam Style?!“Be happy now.” Whoop! Whoop! |
Maybe I have to finish all the balderdash with DSHS for Mom and Medicaid before I can begin the next chapter in my life. I feel my life has been divided into chapters, often a new one began when we moved to a new place. What I do notice is that I want to spend time every day writing blog posts, but it doesn’t always work out that way because my life requires I do certain things. I also want to see other blog posts and comment on them because there are people writing really cool blogs that have some great information.
As much as I would rather not admit it, there are 2 things I need a lot more work on – loving myself and silencing my inner critic and judge. I have learned and experienced that I sometimes have to experience being uncomfortable to work out things that are working for me – oh, it feels so much better at the other side of the work. There are times when I work with Debye during my massage and I think – I don’t want to deal with his, yet I feel so much lighter afterwards. As they say “This too shall pass”.
