Do What You Were Born to do

Posted on Mar 1st, 2008 by wanderer7 : wanderer7 wanderer7

born to do
there's only one rule in life:

do you what you were born to do

trouble is, what exactly is that?

it gets trickier, because the task changes at different stages in life ...

so one needs to keep adjusting

but born to do, what is that?

no-one can tell you, but it just feels right, natural, the thing that taps into all your skills, life experience, wisdom and learning

everything prepared you for this moment

you were born for it

love and light

It's that 'going to your heart' thing again… cause if you try to apply some traditional label, you're likely to get stuck… And it doesn't come with fanfare and whistles and a parade, it's quiet and harmonious and highly enjoyable in a good clean way… There is no trauma attached, no 'loss' of anything, in fact, why couldn't it complement exactly what you're doing right then…?

I speak from experience. Remind me to tell you more tomorrow. I'm beat now.

Please take care. Sherrilene

Hello, I'm back!

If everyone took a day or two, away from the noise, away from the expectations of society, many would be able to figure this out, I am certain. This does require an open mind and an open heart also…

Yes, all of your experiences and your encounters have brought you to this place and to this time… But some things were fundamentally there already, weren't they?

I would start by articulating what you see in the world that you know is doable and that nobody else seems to be doing, and take, maybe, some actions in that regard. Like you said, this image might shift from time to time… it's supposed to! Because life goes on and on and on and on!

But furthermore, it's important to know that you really don't have to report to or account for all your actions. It's because it's between you and your maker and nooooobody else, and given that it's meant to happen, it doesn't have to be a question of giving up on something else to pursue it, unless what you are doing is fundamentally opposing your true existence, as my job was doing which I ultimately gave up over 5 years ago.

Does this help? Let me know; I do thank you for listening.

Yours sincerely, Sherrilene

Fantastic, Nicole, I'm certain it will be time well spent. I've started preparing a book review on a nice book [Christian inspired] entitled 'Discover Your God-Given Gifts' by Don and Katie Fortune that I plan to post ultimately, certainly before you take off.

If you visit this link, you'll get to see an overview. [Nicole, I believe you may have seen it as it's in the God Pod…] The review is an imminent work in progress! I'm more motivated than ever now to get to it. Will keep this blog posted also. The discussion in that pod is awesome also, so I'd recommend everyone scrolling right through when you get a moment.

Talk later.

Be good to you now! Sherri

Confirming what I just wrote in your blog posting, please count on me for support of any kind I can give. I am a treasure trove of ideas just waiting to be tapped for somethings worthwhile and meaningful. Thanks my good friend for inspiring myself and others also.

All the very best to you. Sherrilene
