a-ha’s from A New Earth Chapter 9
Sometimes I shake my head and wonder, “What in the world…”
Like when I was wondering what to make for dinner and my neighbor knocks on the door with a veggie lasagna, fresh from the oven. What in the world.
Or, when a friend from high school, re-introduced through Facebook, introduces me to someone who is so aligned with my path, with an opportunity to do what I’ve always wanted to do. What in the world. (more on that later)
This is the type of thing that happens when you practice presence and all of the things Eckhart and Oprah have been teaching us throughout our A New You with A New Earth experience.
It’s also the key to finding Your Life’s Purpose. Here are a few more a-ha’s from Chapter 9:
Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose.
All of us have the same inner purpose – to align life with the present. But, everyone has a different outer purpose, and it changes over time.
When you realize this, there’s no worry about finding the perfect job, relationship or situation. All you have to do is accept what is in your life now. Learn from it. Love it. Or take action to leave it.
When you can live with uncertainty, with having faith in this process, opportunities open.
This is the hardest part. Letting go of the struggle to get out of an unsatisfying situation. When you practice presence, especially acceptance, life delivers opportunity, ideas, inspiration to show you the way. Life flows.
You determine what kind of future you’ll have, because whatever energy you put into the now, creates your future.
There is only now. If you are always frustrated, annoyed by doing what you have to do to achieve your “future purpose,” you will always be frustrated and annoyed… along with everyone around you. Life can not help you when you’re in this state, because you are consumed by thought, totally unaware, closed off. You’re not even capable of noticing life’s gentle nudges.
Like, being asked to contribute to a program that will change people’s lives… essentially helping them Age-less.
At the root of all this was Facebook (which, I avoided for awhile, letting others convince me it was silly), writing (which I didn’t do for a long time, wondering who would read what I write) and going to Nutrition School to become a health counselor (I mean, is that even a real career…??) But, by going with them anyway, because I was interested and genuinely happy doing them…without any attachment to an outcome … (that’s the big one!) … life delivered opportunity. a gentle nudge. a next step.
