Alignment with Source and Purpose – You Deserve …

 

You deserve happiness, you deserve love, you deserve to live a life of abundance, and you deserve everything that you desire! Are you nodding in your head in agreement? I sure hope so, because it’s true, you do deserve all of this and more.

You are an incredible being who is part of a greater whole, connected to a source, which is pure love, unencumbered by human frailties like ego and self-imposed limitations. You my friend are a powerhouse of energy!

So why then, do so many people walk around this earth looking as if this is such a painful existence, looking as if getting up in the morning was an incredible effort and that they would rather still be in bed that experiencing the incredible journey that they are on?

For a number of reasons I have been at the local shopping malls recently on a much more frequent basis than is my norm. I am struck by the faces and tones of the people I see in the mall shopping. These people with the glum faces do not seem to be enjoying their life,  it is as if they are robots, going through the motions of human life.

I feel for these seemingly lost souls.

So if we are such a powerhouse of energy and we deserve all  that we desire, why are so many of us, sleepwalking through the human experience? The short answer is, one, we are not aligned with our source, two, because of life circumstances we have allowed our enthusiasm for life to be beat out of us, and three, and this is probably one of the biggest, we have come to believe that we don’t really deserve to be loved, or we don’t really deserve to be happy, etc.

See, we say we want to be loved, we say we want to be happy, we say we want to live an abundant life, however deep down, we don’t buy it. We don’t buy that we deserve these things! Why? Well we don’t believe because we believe we know who we are, that is, what we think, what we have done or not done and we measure our thoughts and actions against the moral yardsticks of our culture, of our religious beliefs, of the ebb and flow of what mass media is projecting and against each other. As we do this, we can all find reasons why we should be punished and not have all that we desire. We internally believe that our life is as it is because of how good or evil we have been in the past.

The truth is that our past does not matter,  we can make any changes we desire to make right now, this moment, however to do so we must be willing to quit hanging ourselves for who we have been in the past and choose to live in the now. We must also be willing to quit measuring who we are against everyone else and begin realigning ourselves with our source, with our purpose.

Sounds good, however when does one know when they are aligned with source, with their unique purpose? It really is not as mysterious as it may sound, it’s actually rather simple. You know when you are aligned with source and purpose when you feel joy in what you are thinking and doing! I am not talking about short bursts of joy that you may get from buying something that you want or the joy of having a beautiful physical experience. I am speaking of a joy that you feel to your core, a joy that you instantly recognize as truth, a joy that cannot be shaken by the various events of the day. That joy is what you experience when you are aligned with source and purpose.  Want to see what this looks like, find a child and watch them at play, they know this joy, they know what it feels like to be aligned with their source and purpose.

How do you get there from here? You must ask yourself some very tough questions and then be willing to make changes in your life as needed to re-align yourself with source and purpose. The tough question you must ask is, “Do I feel good about what I am doing right now or do I feel out of sorts, not aligned? You will know the truth. Once you start recognizing the things that you are thinking and doing that don’t feel right, you are then in a position to make adjustments to bring yourself back into alignment. As you do this, you will experience a joy that cannot, and should not be contained! You will then become a conduit to spread the word and help to place smile of joy on the people whom you touch! Your energy is contagious, make that energy powerful, make it love and spread the joy!
