‘’…each of us is born with a kind of inner compass. If we are true to it, we’ll follow an ideal course through the seas of human experience. That is, we’ll live our lives in a way that feels meaningful and fulfilling’’.
-Steven Forrest

Do you jump out of bed in the morning excited for the day ahead? Does your work give you a deep sense of fulfilment and satisfaction? Do you do what you do because you want to do it?
​
These questions are questions that may just bring about a sense of discomfort in you; maybe you deny the truth that answering them would reveal to you; maybe you are aware of the truth but find it difficult to face up to; perhaps you tell yourself stories as to why you are not able to respond to these kinds of questions with an all-encompassing yes. We believe that these are some key questions that you should yourself. The answers to these sorts of questions could provide clues to the difference between what is proving to be a deeply satisfying, enriching, happy life which is provides you with a real sense of meaning and value and a life swamped with dissatisfaction, misery, and anxiety. On the extreme end of the spectrum, depression, addiction, and many other numerous negative states of being may be brought about by failing to acknowledge these kinds of questions. If this sounds like you. You are in the right place. We are here with you as your guiding light if you wish to follow. You must summon the courage to act for your own good and for a happier future you. It is never too late to make the firm decision to be chart a new and exciting course in your life - no matter how scary! You can do it!
​
You will find that making the decision to square up to this area of your life brutally and honestly will yield to you the sheer and unimaginable power of reshaping you and your life for the better. It is something that every single one of you has the power to grasp within the palm of your hands. If only you would accept the challenge. It is vital that you begin on the path to discovering your authentic, meaningful purpose. The question therefore is, are you neglecting to act on the important decision to dedicate time and energy towards actively searching out for your own authentic meaningful purpose in life. We all have one – we just need to find it!
What we mean by ‘’your authentic meaningful purpose’’, is that it is crucial not only to find a purpose but a purpose that you identify with to the core of your being in a deeply personal way. Your purpose must therefore be one that you truthfully, out of desire and passion, choose to follow separately from the expectations and demands of society, family, or friends. Or anything else externally for that matter. Further, it must be one that is embarked on consciously and purposefully with courage and commitment.
​
It is of course the case that the priorities of modern daily life, means attending to the basics. We all have rent or mortgages to pay, bills to pay, children to raise and sundry other factors which require time, energy, and money. However, just because these things are required, does not mean that you must resort to obtaining this whilst sacrificing yourself in any way. Nor does it mean you must make compromises. It is possible for you to support you and your family whilst simultaneously working towards living in a way that resonates with your inner being. Answering the call of your soul’s authentic purpose holds the answer to finding fulfilment, meaning and happiness in your life. All that is required is that you acknowledge it. Accept it. Commit to it. Follow it and become it.
​
Yet, many do not consider, do not believe, or refuse to acknowledge the astounding importance of putting in the time and energy into finding their souls call to discovering their authentic meaningful purpose. Do you relate to these sentiments? Perhaps you are aware of the possibilities, yet feel unable or unwilling to grasp the true magnitude of taking full advantage of the possibilities that are lying dormant within you. Maybe you have never stopped to consider the possibility that you do indeed have the personal power within you to change the course of your life if only you made the firm decision to do so. Maybe you have never even considered before now that what you do for work has been acting as a barrier to you achieving a fulfilling, meaningful and contended life.
​
We have met many self-neglected souls who pass their days by without putting in the time and energy into answering the calling of their souls’ authentic meaningful purpose. Yet, so many have lamented to us that they are dissatisfied with the direction their life is taking. Many individuals have expressed to us that they dislike their line of work. They express that they are completely powerless, unwilling and/or unable to change the course of direction they are heading in. They provide many and sundry reasons why they are unable to change the course of their life’s journey. It disheartens us deeply to hear stories such as these for we can plainly see the barriers these individuals put ahead of themselves. Yet, we can also plainly see that these barriers are made of straw. One of the most common reasons, perhaps even the most common reasons given in response to us as to why they do not change their course of direction is money; with another common reason being that they are unsure of what else they would do. There are many others, but these overall are the most pervasive.
​
It cannot be denied that this is a challenging journey to embark on. This is a journey that may indeed reveal its disadvantages. Particularly when you may be so deeply dissatisfied with the direction your life Is headed, that any kind of action seems impossible and a journey to treacherous to be taken. It is crucial to consider that any disadvantages that show themselves are disadvantages that may be short term disadvantages. These will be far outweighed by the magically golden opportunities that will most definitely reveal themselves to you given time and patience. It begins with the firm decision to embark on your brave new adventure – your very own odyssey.
​
Need we remind you, dear readers, that you have but one life. Do not allow yourself to continue to embark on life’s great journey without charting a purposeful course of action that resonates truly with your soul’s calling. You must find the calling that you were put on this earth to do. The ticket to a happy, fulfilling, enriched life might just be to change course and embark on a new journey into exciting new waters. The short-term sacrifices will be worth it if you welcome into your consciousness, the knowledge that greater rewards will come to you, who has embarked on a new course of action which aligns with the truth that your soul is calling out for you to acknowledge.
​
A crucial point we must make, is that this mission is one that has no guarantee as to when you will discover your soul’s purpose on this earth. The most important thing you can do is to not give up. You must remain persistent. You must have faith. You must remain hopeful. You must have courage. You must take responsibility. If you attempt several different times to find your purpose, with each of them proving to be a dead end, that is okay! Keep going, keep exploring, keep searching. The answer to your soul’s authentic meaningful purpose is out there, waiting for you to find her. Indeed, she wants you to find her! Never give up with your commitment to finding your meaningful purpose. You will find her and she will find you.
​
is it possible dearest reader, that someone might neglect to follow their soul’s truthful mission because of something that has a hold over them in some way or another?. One of these 'somethings' certainly goes by the name of fear. We will more thoroughly cover the topic of fear in the future. Fear is one of the most powerful emotions. Indeed, Fear has the power to make us freeze in the headlights of life. We see this all too commonly. This is another crucial aspect that you must consider as potentially being a significant factor in the level of satisfaction, fulfilment, and happiness that you are experiencing in your life. You must face fear head on. The alternative is that, through fear, you choose to or are unconsciously fixed into your current life’s course, ultimately meaning that all the beautiful possibilities of following your soul’s truthful mission remains undiscovered, neglected, and wasted. In the end, you will want to look back on your life knowing that you lived it with meaning, purpose, and value. You will want to pass into the next realm knowing that you lived out your physical existence in a way that reflected your souls calling; authentically and courageously having contributed something to this world in your own unique way having discovered your authentically meaningful purpose. Go on! What are you waiting for?
