What If

When I first started to do some coaching back in 1998, I attracted a lot of clients who wanted to 'know what their purpose was' and 18 years later, I still attract those seeking to know what their purpose is. Could that be because I have been asking myself that same question for as long as I can remember?

And here's what I've found out.....

Our purpose is what we say it is. What if all of this hunting and searching for our purpose, our passion, finding the meaning of life, or why we are here is really just our own ploy to not step into our power and passion because we are afraid to make a bold statement and declare who we really are? Because chances are that all the time we are searching for our purpose, our life is on hold.

There is only One and we are it! There isn't some Being up in the sky somewhere who determines what we are supposed to be doing. We know ourselves better than anyone. But we have doubts and beliefs that get in the way and we have that ever-present Monkey Mind that doesn't want us to start until we have all the answers. We get to make up the answers....and the questions. We are so busy asking, "What is my purpose?" that we forget to ask "Why am I not doing what makes my heart sing?" or "What limiting beliefs are blocking me from taking inspired action?"

What if it was as simple as what Joseph Campbell said and we simply need to  follow our bliss? What if our purpose was to simply be who we are without comparing? What if.....?

What if you stop searching and start living? What if you awaken to the Truth of Who You Are and start living as though you are the Divine in Action? What if by simply being yourself you are changing the world?

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

Enthusiasm is a complete assurance and confidence that there is a Power within us greater than we are that we may use. It should be our purpose to awaken this joy in us again and enter into the game of living; not sitting on the sidelines as though we were isolated, but on the field ourselves. It is God's enthusiasm and becomes ours on acceptance.             ~ The Power of an Idea

Tune Into Your Own Music

The story goes like this: Paganini was scheduled to give a concert and when he appeared to the eager crowd, he looked down to find a cheap violin where his Stradivarius violin should have been. Excusing himself to go backstage, he was told his violin must have been stolen and this was the only replacement the concert hall staff could find.

Paganini goes back out onstage and said, "What I willdo tonight is bear witness to each of you that the music is not in the violin." And by his own account, he went on to play the finest concert of his entire life. 

The music, our music, is not in the violin; the music is in each one of us. It is our calling, our quest, our inner brilliance. We want to go deep and unleash our brilliance and our music and then we get sidetracked by the conditions of our life. These conditions may feel as if they've come upon us out of nowhere and they are nothing of our choosing. And when we deal with life at the level of our conditions, it seems as if our music (or God) is nowhere to be found.

And yet, something is calling us to go deeper. We don't need to go in search for meaning or purpose; we don't need to go in search for Spirit or the Divine - it is all right here. Are you willing to open up to the music within? How deep are are you willing to go?

I think I hear Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major Op. 61 ringing in my ears. What about you?

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

Realizing that while the Power is limitless, It must become operative through our own thought, we shall see that what we need is not some greater power, but a greater consciousness, a deeper realization of life, a more sublime concept of Being, a more intimate concept of an already indwelling God
