- What motivates you to get up and go to work?
Reasons that may have crossed your mind could have been something like this: to sustain our life, to feed our family, to provide financial support for our children. It's naturally our duty to do all this, isn't it? And so we keep squeezing more time out of our days and often run on maximum energy levels to fulfill this predestined task.
Most of us have some or all of those reasons so ingrained in the back of our mind that we may believe it's the only possible way to be. Yet, without the early guidance from our parents and conditioning of our society or community our own beliefs could have developed quite differently.
As we grew up our parents imprinted their beliefs upon us with good intentions to give us an understanding of the world outside and keep us as safe as possible. Over the time of our childhood, these teachings slowly became our own and knowing no different we dutifully keep following them.
Universal rules or inherited beliefs
"You need to study well, to get a good job, to work hard, to marry well, to be a good parent etc." Sounds familiar? No, these are not universal rules. They are purely common beliefs that generations upon generations kept transferring to their children.
There is however something left out of this equation.
- Did anyone ever ask YOU what your life should be like?
- Did you have your say in deciding the direction of your life?
- Or are you living a dream someone else dreamt for you?
Take a step back and dissociate from your current reality. Acknowledge the state of your life as it is now compared to your childhood dreams. This exercise can be uncomfortable, even discouraging to the point that we tend to choose not to look at it at all and continue to live the 'misery called life'.
There is no change without change
The well known paradox is that people are frightened by the slightest changes to their reality, where we all know that changes are a necessity. Without changes life on earth would cease. Birth as well as death are changes. Change is movement and movement powers the factory of life. The power that moves the whole universe. Yet this doesn't give most of us enough comfort in order to accept responsibility for our own life.
Hit over the head
Oftentimes we do come to terms with our lives and consider other possible ways of living only after some unexpected tragedy or illness crosses the smooth path of our personal experience. Such an event can take us out of the well-known daily routine into the world of an altered sense of reality.
Only then we do allow ourselves to sit down and find the time to deal with the issues at hand. As a side effect of any such crisis our mind is forced to reorganize at a higher level and a new door to the world of possibilities is opened. It may be during these moments that we discover or remember our true life purpose and finally start designing it's preferred outcome.
A pretty gloomy thought that a crisis needs to occur in order for us to get out of our comfort zone and start living the life we meant to be living, isn't it? Of course it is and of course it isn't the only way this can be achieved. Yet, the longer we are living in the disillusion of such a reality, where our life has been designed by someone else and where we have no say in creating it, the more determined we need to be in order to create the desired changes.
Everything is possible where there is a strong will
- Do you feel that your life is not the way you would design it?
- What would need to happen in order for you to live the life you were meant to live?
- What would be your life experience if your life was designed by you?
Imagine if you could....with no limitations....without money constrains....what would change in your life?
The two secret ingredients in fulfilling our dreams are 'pen & paper'.
Once dreams are written down with all the specific details, they take on a magic-like ability to be transferred into goals and to become our new reality.
