Why are you here?

What is the most important thing for you in life?  We so easily get distracted by everyday activities and things that we feel need to get done or that we should be doing.  So often we get caught up in our careers, fears, our relationships, paying the bills... etc  With such distractions it is easy to lose sight of what is real and truly meaningful in our lives.  

For me, what is truly important is coming back to who I truly am and expressing from my soul.  Part of this journey, is letting go and unravelling the blockages that prevent my authenticity and true self from emanating and another part is finding what brings me joy and inspiration and being or doing that.  This is my true purpose in life and nothing else really matters.  

Releasing blockages

Life provides challenges and is not always easy.  Our souls want to take us into the very places that challenge us and cause us to become tight.  It is through being in these places and working through the distortions, conditioning and karma that we can move through them and discover liberation.  ​I find watching the tightness that arises, not judging it and then softening into it helps me be more free.  Each time we catch ourselves in tension, fear or off balance is an opportunity to release and grow, rather than getting lost in it all. 

Expressing from soul

Another aspect of being authentic is to express oneself fully.  How can I express more of my soul now?  What inspires me?  Where do I feel drawn? This is the real juice of life.  Sometimes I contemplate the fragility of this life and consider the possibility of dying in a day, week or month from now.  I then ask myself if I knew I would soon be departing this place, is there anything I would change? Does my life as it is serve my highest good and so in turn the highest good of all.  

I found this inspiring video with a similar theme, though I might add that it is about how we are being as much as what we purposefully do.
