Lo and Behold! Tales from the other side…

Seems lately I am constantly being reminded of how far I am from living the life I want to live." Said a spirit (laughs) over coffee. "I don’t even know what it is I want, or what I’m passionate about. I still haven’t figured out what I’m supposed to do with my life."

So often, we externalize "purpose" as if its some magical answer, just outside of ourselves, as if we could only grasp it, our lives would begin. We think as soon as we figure it out, we could get that degree, that job, we could start that business, we could "change the world." Trouble is, in all of our trying to figure it out, we miss one important truth about Purpose.

Our purpose is not found in what we do from 9 to 5, or our job title, or career status. Our purpose in life is TO BE. As authentically and joyfully as we can, to BE as full of our Selves and our passions as possible.

Our purpose is found in doing the things we love to do- the things that bring us joy. Whether or not we do these things for a "living" is irrelevant. Our purpose is in the LIVING. To connect, to grow, to live, to laugh, to utilize the gifts we have been given in whatever way we can, to touch the lives of our friends and family, to express ourselves, to share our stories, to maximize our experience on this
planet.

Sadly, instead of LIVING our purpose, we squander our lives WONDERING what our purpose is. We squander our energy, doing things that drain us, so that there’s nothing left in us, to do the things we love.

We squander our relationships, letting them slip away without honestly speaking our minds, without caring for them like the precious gifts they are. We squander our time, wrapped up in tedium and routine, without making any time for doing the things we love to do.

We squander our lives away, wondering what to do with our lives.

The good news - I don’t have to "figure out" what to do with my life. I only have to live it.

And as I pay attention to the things I love to do, I find them to be the KEYS to living my purpose.

As I end this blog, I’m happy that at least I experienced those things that I want to try in understanding the mysteries in the universe.  Helping others and studying the paranormal phenomena that contributed somehow in my quest started from 2004. I’m glad, that at least to some extent, I was able to put my ideas into action. Embracing a new chapter in life as we enter the year 2007!

Life has a purpose. 

May you be blessed

And may others be blessed by you.

This is my heartfelt wish for you.

May you be blessed.

Keep on seeking.  Keep on knocking.  Prayer is not asking.  It is the longing of the soul!

We live in a very noisy world.  That is why we are afraid of silence.  We are all busy but we need time to quiet down.  To think and reflect.  Where am I going with my life?  What am I doing with my life?

We need time to be silent to be able to listen.

After talking to a friend who is a clairvoyant, I was impressed with the accuracy of her readings by merely talking to her over the phone last night (October 22, 2005).  I confirmed everything of course.  And there is one thing that I find intriguing.  She told me, "Better that I didn’t enter the priesthood life." I told her that I had this plan of becoming a priest which was my first ambition in life when I was a kid but things change.

My loving grandmother whom she described as "not an ordinary person" has influenced over me.  She was strong, full of wisdom and very spiritual person.  More insights will be revealed to me as I will set another appointment with her.

Okay, something to spice up…
