Living a Purposed Life, Resiliently!

A purposed life is born in the Soul, nurtured in the Mind, and lived through the Heart. It is waiting to be expressed in your words, thoughts, and actions. How do you express your purposed life? This year has challenged me, like no other, to dig deep. I had to dig deeper to exercise my faith, patience, and my hope! 9 months into 2020 and what a ride it's been. A wave of emotions washes over me as I sit here and think about the many blessings I've experienced this year.

There have been many challenges, transitions, and a few losses, too! But, 2020 has given me the opportunity to be present, to be intentional, to be brave, and to be bold! I was taught long ago that boldness is always rewarded. And, that has been my experience as well. The most useful lesson I've learned, however, is to be gentle with myself. I learned to frame whatever I'm experiencing at that moment, into a larger context of the pandemic. I ask myself "Why would you know how to respond to this situation any differently than you have?" Being gentle with myself allowed for further alignment with my self-care, self-love, by silencing the chorus of self-judgment, and listening to and following my intuition.

When you cease to struggle, chase, and fight for what you feel is your "purpose", and instead align all of your words, thoughts, and actions with your purpose, the shift happens. Living a purposed life doesn't require resistance, it requires alignment. If you are not in alignment with anything desired, it will always feel like a struggle to obtain. I'm not saying life doesn't throw us a blow, now and then. I've had my share. However, the more quickly I can align my WTA with my purpose (if only in that moment), the more the circumstances shift in my favor, and I'm easily able to express my life's (or day's) purpose, which is to be kind, to love, and to serve.

W T A + P = Expression

I offer you to implement this formula in your everyday life, in small ways and watch the compound effect! Remember to be gentle while you align your W T A + P to express your purposed life, resiliently!
