Connecting with your Heart-felt Calling
We are all connected, and at the deepest level, our essence is all the same - love, joy and infinite goodness.
But we are human and so we each get our own unique flavour.
A heart-felt calling is a phrase or statement that describes how you feel called to show up in this lifetime. A heart-felt calling is always affirmed in the present-moment. Why? Because you have everything you need right now. You are enough. You are whole. In this moment.
Your heart-felt calling is also never attached to anything external like a career, a relationship, an income or a qualification. It can never be taken from you. You can trust that you can return to your heart-felt calling no matter what. While it is normal for your heart-felt calling to evolve and change (especially when you are just starting out) it is a reflection of how you choose to live your life and so there is an element of stability and constancy here.
Some examples of heart-felt callings are as follows:
"I trust that the truth of who I am is infused in every moment. I have nothing to prove. I am free."
"I choose to see beauty and miracles in every moment. The beauty in the world is a reflection of the beauty, love and goodness in my heart."
"I am safe to be myself. I am whole and complete and I show up each day with authenticity."
"I see love and goodness in each person I meet . Their true essence is a reflection of my own."
Now it’s your turn. You can connect with your heart-felt calling by asking yourself the following questions:
What is most important to you?
How would you like to be remembered?
What is your unique expression of love?
How do you choose life to live through you?
What do you know to be the innermost truth about your life?
