How To Align With Our Soul Purpose.
  by Jessie Klassen,
  During this exciting time upon our earth,  we hear much about �living our purpose.�
  But as I can speak from experience, this is  much easier said than done.
  It�s not that any of us don�t want to  be living our soul purpose.
  We know that there is something not quite  aligned or flowing within our lives, but so
  many of the ways to get there are either elusive  or hard to grasp at best.
  Because, quite frankly, we are not taught  to live our life purpose.
  We are taught to get careers.
  Logical careers that bring in a decent income.
  And many of them don�t feel like they are  part of our purpose at all.
  And we have this idea that to be successful,  we should be working long hours and should
  feel stressed out.
  Otherwise, what are we even doing?
  But as I discovered (and I am still getting  there, as I feel we are always �getting
  there�) I was making it much more complicated  than it had to be.
  For a long time, I was under the illusion  that perhaps I missed something, or I had
  taken a wrong turn, when in fact, I hadn�t.
  My experiences, my life, were actually all  a culmination of my purpose, and before I
  knew it, I had �become my purpose� just  by being me.
  Because we all have a gift.
  And we all have this gift to share with the  world, otherwise, we wouldn�t be here.
  Simple as that.
  There are no extras here in this movie of  life.
  So what does this mean?
  How do we get there?
  I will offer my humble advice and sincerely  hope that you will find it helpful.
  1) What comes naturally to you?
  Look at yourself.
  Look at your talents.
  And be kind.
  Be generous.
  What can you do that makes others say �wow,  how did you do that?� or �I could never
  do something like that.�
  Because chances are, anything that you can  do with ease that others can�t, is probably
  your gift.
  For me, connecting and communicating with  nature has always come easily to me.
  I do it without thinking about it, it is a  part of who I am.
  Nature is when I feel �oneness� with all  that is.
  When I feel I truly connect with the Divine  presence.
  When do you feel this connection?
  Where are you?
  What are you doing?
  Can you expand this moment, this time, into  other areas of your life?
  As a society, I feel we focus too much on  being amazing at everything, even our weaknesses.
  While knowing lots about a lot of different  things makes you interesting and boosts confidence,
  and I agree that it is good to be a well-rounded  individual, but shouldn�t we be encouraged
  to focus on what we are naturally inclined  to be talented at, as that is our gift to
  the world?
  And that way we can help one another that  struggle where we are strong?
  For example, I have a wonderful lady who helps  me with all of the �techy� stuff of running
  my website.
  Her name is Sian Elizabeth and she is amazing.
  That is her talent, and for me, it is a gift,  because it is not my strength.
  By sharing her strength, I am able to share  my gift with the world.
  2) What did you want to be as a child?
  When we are children, we are closely connected  to our soul and our memory of who we really
  are.
  Connect with your inner child, remember back.
  What did you love as a child?
  What did you want to do or be?
  Were you interested in people, animals, the  earth, helping others?
  What was the nature of your happiness back  then?
  For me, I was going to be a writer.
  I wrote joyfully, stories and poems, unabashedly  and unworried about the quality or content.
  So naturally, it makes sense that I now write  about helping others connect with the magic
  of nature to rediscover the magic of their  own lives.
  This is who I am and comes easily to me.
  3) Meditate
  For lack of better or more poetic term, a  while back, I felt I needed to �change my
  brain.�
  Basically, I knew I needed to quit regurgitating  the same old thoughts and out-dated beliefs
  that were playing on re-run in my mind.
  Our minds tend to become a replay of what  we think our lives are, rather than what they
  really are or could be.
  The most effective, profound way that we can  shift our lives is by shifting our thoughts
  and beliefs, and that can be achieved through  meditation.
  Do not meditate to �clear your mind.�  Meditate to �focus your mind.�
  There are many styles and techniques out there,  and each are suited to each individual.
  Meditation is personal.
  Find a style that works for you and commit  to doing it everyday.
  Nothing major.
  Even ten minutes a day.
  I promise the effects are profound and life  changing.
  Life just flows with much more ease, and as  I found, I began thinking new thoughts and
  seeing new things.
  Science has finally proven what the wise men  and women have know for eternity.
  Meditating unleashes your creativity and problem-solving  capabilities.
  It relieves stress and makes you more productive.
  You become a much higher vibration, better  version of yourself.
  Actually, it unveils who you really are.
  And as I found, I became addicted to the natural  �high� that meditation provides.
  The joy, the bliss, the feeling of �oneness�  with the Universe.
  I now cannot imagine a day without a few mindful  minutes of going inward and being connected
  to everything.
  4) Ask Empowering Questions
  It is important to remember that we were never  plunked here so that we could drift along
  without a clue (even though sometimes it feels  that way).
  The answer, the way, is always available if  we open our awareness to it.
  I have found a quick and effective way to  do this is to ask some empowering questions.
  What is an empowering question?
  A question asked from a position of power.
  Such as from the place of a co-creator of  your life, rather than a helpless victim.
  You are taken from �poor me, how come things  never go my way?� to �I create my life.
  Why do things always go my way?�
  Even if you don�t feel that way sincerely,  say it anyway.
  Other examples could be:
  why do I have such an amazing gift to share  with the world?
  what is the nature of my life purpose, or  my happiness, or fulfillment, etc.
  why do I get to live my life purpose?
  why do I always know which direction to go?
  Notice the shift in your consciousness.
  Your vibration rises when you ask questions  in this format, and as your vibration rises,
  so will the vibration of of experiences that  you invite into your awareness.
  You could also write these questions down,  or re-word them as affirmations.
  Not long ago I wrote, �I walk the path of  my Divine life purpose.� Or you could say,
  �I love living my life with purpose.�  Or I also stated for a while, �I am living
  the life of my wildest dreams.�
  A message came through during one of my meditations,  �when in doubt, write it out.�
  Writing is powerful.
  Because we believe it when we see it.
  And what we believe, we become.
  So consider what you are writing, and be ready  for a shift, a change to occur, because it
  will.
  Disclaimer: It�s not always easy.
  Walking the path of my Divine life purpose  is not always a walk in the park, everything
  does not automatically go honky dory.
  I hadn�t considered that it was a pretty  tall request.
  But of course, being me, I dove right in to  the �deep� stuff.
  I had and still have a lot to clear so that  I can continue on this path.
  But I�ve noticed as I keep asking these  questions, such as, �how can it get any
  better than this?�, the universe answers  me.
  Things really do always get better.
  As creators of our lives, we need to be mindful  of what we are asking for, because the answers
  always come.
  You can have fun a lot of fun with this.
  I also like to ask, �why am I such an amazing  parent?� or �why am I so great at �� or
  �why are my kids so happy?�
  We get what we ask for.
  Don�t worry about the �how� of the answers.
  The messages always arrive and it can be in  a variety of ways.
  For myself, I am a dreamer.
  So for me, the answers usually come in a dream  or from a messenger from nature.
  But I have also had the answers come in songs,  random people, coincidences and serendipity
  occurring in much higher frequency than usual.
  Stay open and give the Universe a chance to  answer.
  And many times, the �answer� is just a  smoother flowing of your life.
  Or you may feel guided to read a book, go  somewhere, take a course, but you will realize
  after that it was all for the best.
  There is a balance to strike between asking  and stating, and then letting it go and staying
  in the moment.
  Assure that when you asked or stated, you  were heard.
  So then it is your job to trust.
  5) What Strengths are your Children Revealing  in You?
  As parents we have accepted the high honor  and privilege of raising children in a critical
  time upon our earth.
  And as I have found, my kids are teaching  me as much as I can teach them.
  What has raising your children taught you  about yourself?
  Or your grand-children or other children in  your life?
  This can even apply to other loved ones in  your life that you feel a deep connection
  with, good or bad.
  My children revealed to me my own fears about  myself.
  I have had to �up my game� if I am going  to be the kind of role model that I feel they
  should have.
  I discovered that one of my fears for them  is that they will feel that I don�t understand
  them, because, as a child, I often felt misunderstood.
  This has made me a more patient and compassionate  parent.
  I have also seen how they thrive when I am  open and allowing my inner child to come through
  and play.
  What is it that you want for your kids?
  Now want that for yourself.
  It is not selfish of you.
  You will be improving their lives as you improve  your own.
  And another bonus?
  You will feel fulfilled and you won�t be  loving them from a place of need.
  You will be satisfied and when we are satisfied,  we see others for who they are rather than
  what we want them to be-and that means everybody  will be happier!
  6) I have another piece of advice that has  come to mind, and I have to admit, it won�t
  sound the most spiritual or enlightened.
  Actually, I�m not sure if it is even advice-perhaps  we will just call it me sharing an experience
  and you being amused.
  There have been times in my life where I have  felt extreme frustration and hopelessness
  to the point where I thought I was literally  on the verge of a nervous breakdown, like
  I couldn�t take anymore-and this is when  I have completely flipped out on the Universe.
  I have come to affectionately call these my  �what the f**k sessions with God.� (yes,
  there�s been several)
  And they have been ugly, crude, verbal diarrhea  where I literally screamed at the top of my
  lungs, through a mess of tears, �what the  f**k do you want from me?
  What now?
  What more can I do?
  I don�t get it!
  You want this, and then you want that!
  You need to get a lot more clear and get your  f****in s**t together because I can�t take
  this anymore!�
  I told you they were ugly.
  And I don�t typically curse.
  Thankfully, I have only done this when I am  alone in my own company, either in my truck
  or out by myself in nature.
  I have to say though, when I get my fill of  screaming profanities, I come down from my
  anger, and I suddenly become very aware of  the love and compassion of the Universe as
  it floods over me.
  I will have a knowing that all is okay and  usually a sense of knowing what I should do
  next.
  There is often a valuable insight that comes,  and a realization that I have just cleared
  some old �stuff�, and that is actually  what it was all about in the first place.
  I then feel ready to move forward.
  I can actually feel the Universe ��hug�  me.
  I will actually chuckle to myself later, imagining  my guides shaking their heads, saying amongst
  one another, �what was that about? we sure  have our work cut out for us with her.�
  So I forgive myself and apologize to the Universe,  dust myself off and carry on.
  As I said, I�m not sure that I�m suggesting  this, but if you feel inclined to do so in
  your own company, then go for it.
  My life growing up on a farm, and now as a  farmer, means that everyday I am in nature.
  No matter the weather, 30 Celsius above zero  or 30 Celsius below zero, I am outside.
  So my life is what has given me the opportunity  to be surrounded by nature, connected with
  the earth, and as my own boss, the freedom  to write and share my experiences.
  For me, it has been my children and nature  who have revealed my purpose to me, because
  they both have brought out my talents and  the very best version of myself to share with
  the world.
  Look at your life, because your life IS your  gift.
  It is your purpose.
  Perhaps there are some aspects that need to  change.
  Maybe small changes, maybe big changes.
  Or maybe only your perspective of yourself  and your life is all that is needed to shift.
  Either way, the answer is there, because it  is you.
