WE ARE ALL BORN INTO THIS WORLD WITH A HIGHER PURPOSE ON A SPECIAL MISSION FROM GOD
Every one of us was sent here and born into this world with a higher purpose on a mission from God.
The purpose that we all share in common is that we came to this planet at this time and place to learn how to Love and expand our ability to be loving, caring and compassion. That is why we human beings all have the desire and need to be in and have relationships…with our parents, our siblings, our friends, and most importantly with our chosen life partner. In fact, even the animals are being social, and loving within their families and social groups.
Before we are born, if we are spiritually advanced enough, we are shown our potential mission in detail, including where we will be born, our parents and the challenges we will face.
We forget all this during our transition from the spirit world to this material plane, but we are given the specific talents and abilities we will need to fulfill it.
The divine also helps us by whispering to us about it in “the still small voice within” that is our inner guidance.
In meditation, you can actually hear and feel the calling of your soul to wake up and remember your mission and start living it out. This calling is broadcast continuously, but we need to be able to become still in meditation in order to hear it.

It changes everything to know what your mission is and make it your purpose for your life.
One of the greatest tragedies for humanity is that almost everyone has forgotten their mission…And instead, have focused their precious time, energy and attention on making a living instead of making a life of meaning in alignment with their higher purpose.
One of the ways to discover what your specific mission is…is through honestly looking at your natural talents and abilities.
What is it that you love doing, the doing of which makes your heart sing, clears your mind, and makes you feel so good that you get into a state of high flow and effortless concentration? What are you so passionate about that you want to be doing it all the time?
Your natural talents and abilities are God’s gift to you so that you can fulfill your mission and destiny…
What you choose to do with them is your service to God and humanity.
A key understanding is the awareness that you were not sent here just to fulfill your own desires, or do whatever you like, while focused on selfish goals and aims, even if that includes caring for your family and circle of close beloveds.

You and everyone else was born to do great things for humanity, the earth and the Divine.
In fact, as you mature spiritually, the only real lasting joy and satisfaction in life is in seeing yourself as a servant sent here to do God’s will and work with every breath, in every moment of your life.
Knowing this and choosing to align every word, thought and deed with your purpose is not only the golden path to supreme satisfaction, but also opens the path for evolving all the way to enlightenment.
As long as you dedicate your precious time, energy and attention just to fulfilling self centered goals, any happiness you achieve will be shallow and fleeting, like a magnificent mansion built on quick sand, which is soon swallowed up.
But once you consciously choose to find and work to fulfill your true life purpose, everything begins to fall into place and make soul sense on every level.

Choosing to do the work you were sent her to do will also lead to rapid spiritual evolution, for as you achieve alignment with the divine on a daily basis, the grace and blessings of God will begin to flow through your life…
First as a trickle, but then in a mighty river which will continuously increase in power, depth and flow.
Then everyday that you live lifts you ever higher as you focus on and surrender to being a servant happily engaged in doing the work and building the life that was meant for you.
Your mission may be simple and humble, and remain unknown and unnoticed by anyone, but whatever it is that you are called to do is important, probably far more so than you know…so do it passionately, enthusiastically, and cheerfully, with the full intention to serve the greater good with every ounce of your being.
This will lead to expanding joy, peace of mind, greater love and inner fulfillment that can not be attained any other way.
