Letting your purpose come to you, February 14, 2009
This review is from: Find Your Purpose, Change Your Life: Getting to the Heart of Your Life's Mission (Paperback)
In this very compelling book, Carol Adrienne suggests that you harness the twin powers of intuition and synchronicity to get in touch with what's calling you. But she first reviews how these natural gifts become buried amidst the business of growing up.
Family, peers, and culture dictate the norms of proper behavior, and it takes most people time to shed their conditioning to recognize what they personally believe. People also get stuck in survival patterns that have outworn their usefulness. Replaying endless tape loops, you miss the synchronicities, the meaningful coincidences that lead you to the unexpected. Being present in each moment fine-tunes your intuition to be awake to what's calling you.
So how do you discover purpose? Purpose presents itself to us in subtle ways, but we have to be able to tune in to notice it. You've heard Eckhart Tolle speak, or read
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. This is where it counts. Start to pay attention, in the moment, today. Notice what is catching your attention.
Your life purpose is always working on your behalf, Adrienne says. You were born with it. You can't help but express it because it's how you see the world, and it's what interests you. The books you're drawn to read, whatever absorbs and interests you so much that you lose track of time. It's a mistake to try to make your life purpose a job title. Life purpose is much larger than that. Take action on your hunches and persistent thoughts, and recognition and aha's will naturally emerge.
