Your Divine Mission

In this time of great transition, it’s good to be reminded that you have a mission.

A divine mission.

It’s a mission that nobody else can go on, because it was given to you by your Creator.

Have you ever thought that you should be doing things the way that other people do them? That your career should look a certain way? That you should be making a certain amount of money? That you should have a certain type of living situation?

I have.

There have been times in my life when I thought that I should be doing something because everyone else is doing it. If Bob, Mary, and Peter are doing it then I should be too. Comparing myself to other people gets me nowhere. It only brings me a sense of frustration and inadequacy. It’s not productive, and it keeps me stuck.

There is a way out of the comparison game.

The way out is by acknowledging and affirming that you are on a divine mission. This divine mission has been given to you by your Creator. When you recognize that you are on a divine mission, that sense of frustration and longing will be replaced by a spirit of curiosity and gratitude.

Curiosity and gratitude.

This is what will move you forward. Knowing that you have a purpose, and that your purpose is to be a blessing to the world. Curiosity and gratitude are powerful allies in your quest to discover your divine mission.

In this time of great change my favorite saying has become, “God is my employer”. What powerful words! What words of liberation!

When I acknowledge that God is my employer what I’m really saying is that my ultimate job is to discover what God’s will is for me. As it relates to discovering my mission in life, this also reminds me that God is the ultimate job recruiter. God is actively seeking those who are willing to fill the roles that are available. Just like any employment situation everyone can’t be doing the same job. For any organization to run properly everyone needs to be doing different roles. Together, the organization moves forward with everyone doing a job they love to do. They are doing their right work.

Imagine that the human family is an organization. Each member of this organization is doing their right work. Their divine work. Their divine mission. When you discover what your divine mission is you will know it. You will have a feeling of satisfaction and peace that will permeate your soul.

You have a divine mission. It’s to bless and be blessed. In whatever form that takes in this world, you are important. Your skills are important to someone. Someone is looking for the talents that you bring to the table.

I wish you well in discovering what your divine mission is. You deserve all the success in the world, and

I’m glad you’re here.

You are a blessing to the world.

You Deserve To Be Supported

The pr ocess of writing my book has been so interesting. So many opportunities for me to look at myself and the way that I approach things. One of the most interesting opportunities is the one around the ability to say that I don't understand something. This brings me to what I wanted to  write about here.  That is this false belief that I should be able to know something before I know it. Yes, I read that sentence and say that doesn't even make sense. But, how many of us have taken on a project thinking we should not be able to ask questions about it? It's like the person  (not that I have even done this:) who gets lost driving, but refuses to ask for directions. Truth is our GPS takes care of that most of the time, but there are still times we need to ask.  If the goal of doing a project is to get it done is to get it done, it just makes sense to ask questions. Right? Well, the inability to ask questions usually stems from deeper issues that cannot be just logica

Balancing the Need For Risk With the Need For Security

We as a society are always looking to something outside of ourselves to fix us. You can call it an addiction, envy, or restlessness. But, we all know what I'm talking about. It's the belief that if we could just be somewhere other than where we are then everything would be ok. Sometimes though when we get to wherever it is we think we should be, we will then want to be somewhere else. There is a tension between knowing that it's good for us to stay and commit to the situation at hand, and knowing that it is healthy to stretch and grow. How do we stay grounded and follow through with what is happening now, and yet still be willing to explore new and uncomfortable adventures? There is so much to be gained by staying where we are. We gain the satisfaction of seeing something through to the end. Whether that be a relationship, a job, or a dream that have had in mind for many years. The daily effort that it takes, and the willingness to be there for a relationship

The Holding Pattern Becomes a Blessing

Most of us have had the unpleasant experience of being on an airplane that has been put in a holding pattern as it approaches the airport. As a result of some delay at the airport you are coming into  you are made to circle the airport over and over again until it is safe to land. This experience can be very frustrating, especially if we have another connecting flight to get to. This experience of being put in a holding pattern shows up in our everyday life sometimes. There are delays. The check we were supposed to get didn't come in the mail on time. The car dealer you took your car to for repairs didn't get your car back in time. And, now you have to rent a car. In life there are literally thousands of delays that can frustrate us. This is life. It is a common trait of us humans to want to see things go smoothly. We don't like delays. And, even some of us (me included) will want to take these delays personally. It is also my experience that delays can be an
