Most of us were told to stay in school and do well. After that, it was "Find a good job, work hard, and then enjoy a safe and quiet retirement." But statistics show that only a small number of us really enjoy our retirements. This is because:
- Problems with health
- Not enough money for old age
- Cut off from the place of creativity
- You're too old to do what you really want.
In the 1950s, it was safe to work for a company, but this idea is completely out of date in our fast-growing information age. Today, you should be careful because your job might be watched to see if you could be replaced by something cheaper or, even worse, by a machine. Almost the only things that drive corporations and companies today are productivity and making more money for shareholders. As a worker, you are just a small wheel in a gear box that could be put back together with fewer parts at any time.
Fear comes from knowing this. Many people would rather work sick than lose their jobs. Some people feel like they can't take it anymore, and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. To make things worse, we shop, spending more money on things we don't need in the hope that they will make us happy for a few hours or days. Shopping is something we do every day. "We do things we don't like to buy things we don't need," someone once said. We connect with our money instead of with our spiritual force. The result is that nothing changes.
How Can We Get Out of This Mess?
Even better, what can we do to stop it from happening? Realize that you are a spiritual being who makes your human experience, not the other way around. Even if you don't realise it, you chose this life to go through certain things. Before you came to Earth, you chose a spiritual path. You're more than just your body. You are more than just your thoughts and mind.
Getting to know yourself is the most important thing you can do in your life. If you spend enough time on it, you'll figure it out. You might be surprised by the answer, and you might not be able to tell anyone, but knowing who you are is the key to living the life you planned from the start.
Part of our job in life is to find our way back to a spiritual path. Nature gives us a body, but no instructions on how to use it. It seems like you find out how to connect with your spirituality at a certain point in your life. At birth, you are like a radio-building kit. Over time, you put yourself together, and when you're done and all the parts are connected correctly, you can send and receive signals from all over the universe.
Putting your "radio" to use is the most powerful tool you can think of. You can make as many connections as you want. You can send and receive from everyone in this universe, regardless of where they are. Some people call it the soul, but scientists talk about how everything is linked.
Quantum physics even shows that we are all connected and made of the same stuff. This conclusion goes as far as to say that there is only one mind that shows itself in different ways. When you think of something, it might not be your idea. And what you think might not have come from inside of you.
If you want a happy life, you'll want to find out who you are as soon as possible. Why? Because if you do, you'll have found the owner's guide to how to use the thing. And once you have that, all you have to do is follow the directions and use your mind and feelings in the right way.
How Knowing and Experiencing Are Different
The best part is that taking the right path gives you the confidence that comes with it. It is a way to go that you don't have to think about. It's like the difference between hearing about how an apple tastes and actually tasting one. If you were told how an apple tastes but had never tried one, all you would have to go on would be what other people said. In this situation, you have to rely on other people, and there's a lot of room for confusion.
You know how an apple tastes as soon as you bite into it. This is important to know, and no one can take it away. It comes from your own life. Even if 10,000 people tried to tell you how that apple tastes, you wouldn't listen to them because what you know is now what you believe.
Turn off the TV tonight and sit quietly for 30 minutes while you think about your life:
- Does what I'm doing make me happy?
- Does what I'm doing in my life make me happy?
- Is there something I've been meaning to do for a long time but haven't gotten around to?
- Do I live my full potential?
Find your strength and know that you are one of a kind. No one else on earth is exactly like you. If you don't know this, you should start learning about it right away.
When you realise and accept that you are unique, you have to live your life in a unique way. The rest is all a lie. You've always wanted to live your life this way. At least for a moment, let yourself think about this dream and look into it. At first, your mind might say no, but just look at it again. Nothing bad will happen. You are just exploring it in your mind. By doing this exercise, you're getting in touch with your life dream and the path you're supposed to take on this planet.
Now you have two options: you can either think about your dream more and maybe get more specific, or you can let fear take over and give up on your beautiful dream. The first option will make you feel more alive, while the second option will kill you. No, I don't mean you'll die physically. You won't die, but your life force and everything that makes life worth living will die.
How long you live on this planet doesn't matter. Time is just a trick. When you are in touch with your life dream, you can have a happy life right now. This can be so powerful that you feel like this moment will last forever. In this moment, everything is complete and there is nothing left to do. It is the perfect moment, and you are living life to the fullest.
Think about what your life would be like if you were always in touch with your life's dream.
