#true calling

[randomnerdyfan]

Sometimes I wonder if I write a character truthfully and then I remember he canonically said „Nah, you can kiss my unwashed anus.“ and „Shoving fruit up your arse on OnlyFans.“ in a professional work environment and then I think, ok, maybe I‘m managing alright.

Carlos: I see another Christmas has come and gone, and someone has not gotten long pants.

Gabe: Yep, still no panta-lones from Panta-Claus.

Gabe: How do you un-scare a kid?

Toby: Ooh! Ooh! You give him the hiccups.

I have seen people who try to numb their pains instead of trying to find the reason , growth & enlightenment towards it. They get into that complete dark zone that this how they are destined to live, this is how things are supposed to be. Instead of I don’t deserve to feel this way , I am far above all this, I’m gonna find what’s it’s trying to teach me ,these people just try to escape everything & don’t even realise the importance of taking the accountability. when you take accountability of your actions, your life unfolds in a way you never thought it would. Take accountability of your decisions & choices. There are 2 ways in which a human grow either through insights or through pain. We humans are here to grow, spread love, fulfil our soul’s purpose & all of this can only happen when you become the best version of yourself. And attain the true you, be true to yourself, give yourself what your soul desires, find the true calling, find your veracious goals & do everything to attain them. The people Who have done this are no smarter than you, just believe in yourself , have faith & learn to question the brules .

So instead of starting at the beginning, I'm gonna start at where I am today (and maybe I'll catch things up as I go along.)

Day 7 of Activating the Divine Feminine: A Path to Wholeness meditation with Alicia Keys and Deepak Chopra was a reminder to listen to my inner voice, which is the Divine Feminine, and find my true calling. This really spoke to me because for a while now I've been trying to find my true purpose in life, something I never thought I'd be doing because since I was a kid I knew what I wanted to be doing in life. But things change, and here we are today.

What Alicia said at the beginning of the meditation really struck a chord -

"I got used to asking everybody else what they thought and I didn't know how to access that place inside of me that would tell me what I thought, so that I could be confident in what was rising in me."

This is so true. For most of my life I'd seek approval and validation from others, my self-esteem and confidence battered from various childhood experiences. Only when I paid no heed to these external validations and opinions, and went about things my own way, did I really excel lol. It's taken a fair amount of shadow work to even admit this to myself, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I loved Deepak's explanation of the Divine Feminine - every experience we call bliss. And aptly so, when you think about it. Everything that's brought happiness into our lives, feelings of love, affection, gratitude and tolerance come from the Divine Feminine.

He continued -

"The Divine Feminine has reached you all your life. It draws your attention to beauty, to love and inspiration. It touches you whenever you feel warm-hearted. The emotions it generates are affectionate or giving, tolerant, accepting and appreciative. This silent voice holds great power. Life has deep meaning because the Divine Feminine is guiding you. A powerful mode of healing comes about when you value the gifts of the Divine Feminine. To do this, you need to notice them, feel grateful and appreciate the unbounded generosity of spirit. Being guided by the Divine Feminine will give you the highest calling, which is to follow your bliss."

Suddenly I feel like I've stumbled on the answer to a riddle I've been trying to solve my whole life - that the highest calling is to follow your bliss. Wow. Now, it's starting to make sense. When has it ever felt right to be miserable, unhappy and upset in life? Perhaps never, else there wouldn't be the incessant search for happiness in all ways, shapes and forms.

I guess I never realised that the Divine Feminine has actually been guiding me my whole life, telling me how best to live it and find my way to my own bliss. And when I felt completely lost, out of sorts, uninspired, probably confused and conflicted, I'd unconsciously chosen to silence my Divine Feminine, not knowing any better. In a way, that's brought me where I am today, and I couldn't be more grateful for the journey, because if not for the difficult moments, how will I know I've found my bliss? Lol at least that's how I see it.

This is my favourite line from the meditation session, that Alicia kindly reminds -

"It's time to wake up and listen. There's nothing to lose, and only love and fulfilment to gain. So be brave. Because it is all about you and discovering you and there's nothing wrong with that."

Be brave. Yes, I believe I can do that. ✨

“A true vocation requires shedding anything that would impede or obscure the call. A true pilgrimage requires letting go of the very things most people try to hold onto. In seeking after what the soul desires we become pilgrims with no home but the path the soul would have us follow. As the old proverb says, “Before you begin the journey, you own the journey. Once you have begun, the journey owns you.” After all, what good is a dream that doesn’t test the mettle of the dreamer? What good is a path that doesn’t carry us to the edge of our capacity and then beyond that place? A true calling involves a great exposure before it can become a genuine refuge." - Michael Meade, "Fate and Destiny"
