It’s only been a couple of weeks and already I feel that I’ve made tremendous progress. Here’s how it’s played out so far…
- Basics – I’ve accepted routine realising it has an important purpose, so I’ve been trying to change my attitude to it(I have even stopped having a cleaner…although still struggling to embrace my approach to cleaning!) whilst adding other worthwhile pursuits to my day
- Body – I’m prioritising sleep, breakfast and exercise to get my body back into alignment. Conclusion being that if I don’t do this then I have no energy to focus on anything!
- Mind – I’m exploring online information that is expanding my thinking and inspiring me to embrace learning again
- Soul – with both body and mind working, I’ve been able to nurture my soul so much so that I’ve even identified my true purpose in life, that being “to enable my husband and my children to achieve greatness in their contribution to the universe”
This purpose may sound too “nice” so let me tell you that I am not a particularly “nice” person, I never do charity work nor other “good” things. But from a purely selfish perspective I really feel good and energised when I help other people. I’ve always known that I’m not a competitive person, I just don’t have that “killer instinct”. Whenever I used to win anything I would just feel bad for all the others that lost. But to win as a team was very different as I had helped others to win and these victories were exhilarating.
I also know that my husband is an exceptional person and from the moment I met him I knew that I was here to help him achieve his true greatness…I guess I just forgot this for awhile. Adding my kids into the picture was maybe the distraction, but now I realise that they too are exceptional and I have been the vehicle through which they have entered the world and will do what I can to guide them to their own greatness.
I have only clearly identified this purpose for a day, but already I’m totally feeling my “sparkle” is returning. I’m excited to see how I can contribute to my purpose today…although, I must say, it didn’t start well as I didn’t quite have enough sleep and snapped at my husband who snapped back in return!
Hmmm….at least I now know the direction I need to take, even if I make a few stumbles along the way!
