Commit To Your Soul’s Work

To me, the goal of life is best summed up by Bentinho Massaro – we’re here on earth to become a crystallized expression of our soul.

And it starts by listening to the desires of our heart and choosing to rise and expand into the person required to bring these desires to life.

The more we do this, the more we crystallize our ability to live fully rooted in our soul.

This week alone I probably had to remind myself of this choice to rise and expand about a dozen times…

I’m in the middle of an online course, getting up to speed on industry knowledge for content sharing and I could feel myself getting overwhelmed by all that there is to master just to effectively share what I’m passionate about.

My mind wanted to create stories around why I wasn’t in a position to take advantage of what the course was teaching…

My brain was going to mush as I watched technical videos on how to do some of the behind the scenes stuff…

My motivation was slipping…

Then, I got a hold of my mind and just reminded myself that if this is what it takes to effectively bring the desires of my heart to life, I’ll learn the necessary skills.

I reminded myself that it may seem overwhelming now, but it’s not rocket science. It’s just processes that can be learned once understood.

Most importantly, I reminded myself that the alternative (not pursuing the desires of my heart) sucks.

And with this re-frame, I was back in the game…with an attitude that more easily fostered learning.

I believe it’s in disciplining ourselves to consistently come back to this choice to either do the work we’re here to do or to remain stagnant that renews our faith in and commitment to what we’re doing.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your process, whether you’re just embarking on the journey or years into its ups and downs, you’re here to move forward…to grow and to expand. So don’t quit. Just keep going.

The alternative is too boring.
