Have you considered simplifying your career to follow your heart’s desire? If so, this article is for you! First, what is your heart’s desire? It’s the thing that lights you up, that you want to share with others, and that keeps your attention time and time again. It’s what you’re most passionate about and… its foundation is rooted in being of service to others. That’s the difference between our hobbies and our True calling. Once you’re clear about your True calling, you can bring it into reality by realizing and releasing what hinders you…
Identify Your Limiting Beliefs
We often grapple with everything we need to do to maintain the lifestyle that we’ve created, but what if we look at the emotions associated with our lifestyle? Are we trying to maintain some type of status quo handed down to us from society, our families, or social groups? If so, how are we letting that shape the quality of life we experience?
When we feel weighed down by anything (people, places, or things), it’s time for change, and… it begins within. More often than not, we need to let go of the limiting belief that binds us and deal with the emotions associated with it.
A limiting belief is a thought or state of mind that we think is the absolute truth, but that restricts us from taking action to reach our full potential - where our True calling awaits. In other words, a limiting belief is an opportunity to set ourselves Free.
Every day, our freedom is challenged by our perception of the way we think things should be. Once we identify where we feel limited, we can ask ourselves why this particular person, place, or thing feels binding. Hint: it’s not the other person, place, or thing… it's us.
Everything is a reflection of our inner landscape or our emotional state of being – this Understanding puts us in Control of our experience. Therefore, it’s our beliefs about the particular person, place, or thing that hold us back and it's our Understanding that gives us the Power to change it.
“Every day, our freedom is challenged by our perception of the way we think things should be... when our beliefs are accompanied by a fleeting emotion, this is an indicator it’s not in alignment with our heart’s desire.”
When our beliefs are accompanied by a fleeting emotion - fear, anger, sadness, guilt, shame, frustration, disappointment, insecurity, doubt, confusion, stress, etc., this is an indicator it’s not in alignment with our heart’s desire.
Over and over again as we learn to not take things personally, we set ourselves Free. And while emotions are a part of the human experience, their fleeting appearance is an indicator they are not who we Truly are. Once we recognize this - that we are not our emotions, we create a sense of separation (from the emotion) which allows our True nature to be expressed…
Surrender Your Limiting Beliefs
Joy, Love, Peace, Harmony, Compassion, and Gratitude are always available to us; they are the undercurrent that is Present, yet only available when we put our Attention toward them.
It’s when we get caught up in our fleeting emotions that we forget who we Truly are; which creates a temporary state of illusion and delays our True calling. We’ve been conditioned to believe our emotions - we can believe we are upset or we can decide that we are not. It’s just that simple; and it requires curiosity, diligence and an Understanding that there is something Greater at play that can take the illusion away - but only when we allow it.
Not being bothered is one of the greatest qualities we can aspire to. It means tapping into the Higher Intelligence of Joy, Love, Peace, Harmony, Compassion, and Gratitude - where through much practice, we can begin Living from these states of Being - where our True calling can be realized.
When we bring our Attention to the Higher, those fleeting emotions cannot exist. When an emotion does arise, surrender it to the Higher - let the energy of it be dissolved and fill that space with Truth. You are not these emotions, you are much Greater than what binds you.
Notice how everything changes when you do this. This is how we evolve our inner landscape, which is directly reflected to our current reality. That is to say, when we change the world within us, the world around us changes too. It will be challenging - people, places, and things will shift, but only when they are not aligned with your current state of Being. Let them go Gracefully and be Present to what comes in for you in Support of your heart’s desire.
