Action Thursday - Drawing from the Infinite Supply

Watch the video below for today's action steps to draw from the infinite supply and experience more joy, love, peace and a totally enriched and abundant life.

Finding who you are - Taking it to the next level

Now that you've discovered how to find who you are and know where to look, as you put these into practice it's time to take it up to the next level to experience more joy, more love, more power and a more fulfilled life in every area of your life.

Every branch has nutrients to sustain the leaves and fruits that it bears but if that branch is cut off from the tree, its main source of continued supply, how will it survive? The entire tree draws its nutrients from the roots as well as its energy from the elements - the sun and rain. But as much as these outside elements enhance the growth of this tree, it means nothing if the tree has no roots. The branch that's disconnected, no matter how much energy it draws from these external energy, will soon wither away, lose its zest for life and die.

As it is with nature, so it is with every one of us. We are not independent, we are all connected and that connection leads back to the Universal pool of energy, the Source of Divine Intelligence which we refer to as God. Our connection to God is one of conscious awareness that we are connected and the source of our supply - everything we need - comes from this vast inner Source through the stream of our lives. Until we make that conscious connection, we'll never experience and enjoy the fullness that life has to offer even though the potential is unlimited. 

Like a newborn baby who has legs and arms and the potential power of walking and touching but is consciously unaware of his/her potential, so are we in our personal growth in relationship to knowing and understanding the power that lies within us and the unlimited supply which comes from the Unlimited Source Energy. 

So exactly how do we take our lives to the next level and experience more joy, peace, love, wealth - unlimited supply? 

1) Conscious awareness

As with the example above of the newborn baby, you must become consciously aware that you are connected to the Universal Source Supply. Therefore what you desire to manifest, you need to become conscious of that - joy conscious, peace conscious, love conscious, money conscious - and know that it comes from the vast eternal supply. It is not enough to just know it in your head but to apply it to your life and also know how to apply it to your life. You may say, "God is my infinite supply," and you'd be right, but do you really know how to open the door for that infinite supply to flow from the Source into the stream of your life?

2) Acceptance

You must also accept that the Unlimited Supply flows through and in you and that all you need is available for you and is seeking a way to flow through you. God is the infinite supply but do you believe and accept that you are connected to it? Let's look again at the branch example. You are a branch to the Universal Tree. Your connection is through your conscious awareness and acceptance of this fact and then your ability to receive the nutrients which comes as a result of this connection. 

3) Connect in the silence

It is in silence that our strength is renewed. In the silence inspiration comes. In the most intimate moment with God, in the silence we draw love, peace, find the foundation of our strength, become acquainted with our true identity, stand on solid rock. Because it is here that we are unshakable knowing that our protection, our strength, our hope is in the Infinite and not in the limitations of external circumstances and conditions. 

4) Draw from the Unlimited Supply

You draw from the Unlimited Supply by becoming conscious of the presence of the Infinite Source within your inner being. Turn all of your attention within and allow your emotions to connect and feel the flow of life. Allow the life energy to flow through and in you and satisfy you within. If you desire more joy, become conscious of the energy and spirit of joy. If you desire more love, become conscious of the energy and spirit of love flowing in and through you. 

5) Repeat

Repeat this process every day and you'll find that you'll begin to elevate to a higher level of power that you may have never experienced in your life. Drink of the life energy. Let it fill you, saturate you and satisfy you wholly that it radiates and overflow into the lives of others. 

You're about to embark on a totally new level of spiritual connection that will literally transform your life from the inside out. But you must put the time in. You must be hungry for it. You must be thirsty for it and then you will be filled.

5 Steps to Finding Who You Are

The first step in finding who you are, you need to look at how you identify yourself. Do you find your identity in the things that are external, outside of yourself - your job, your money, your profession, your family, friends, children? The list could go on and on.

External conditions and experiences may change - children grow up, friends move away, company changes and downsize their staff. Is your identity fixed in these externals? Then you may find yourself left with a gaping hole when these changes occur and you find your life in chaos.

Who are you and what will you do?  Where will you go from here? Where will you stand? Will these changes or loss shake your self-esteem or confidence to redefine who you are?

These 5 steps will guide you to finding who you are so you can connect or reconnect with the true you.

1) Look within

Instead of looking outward and allowing your circumstances, your environment, other people's opinions of who you are or who you should be or how you should think become your truth, look within your own heart and determine who you are. Life and power comes from within outward and not the other way around.

2) Consult with your joy

As you look within to your own heart, search for the things that bring you joy. What gets you excited? What things are you passionate about - you feel deeply or have strong opinions on? What topics or subjects are you drawn to and are they adding value to your life and enhancing who you are?

3) Enjoy your own company

Spend time alone in your own company. Some people are afraid to be alone. If you fall into this category, it's time to be your best friend and spend more time with you. It is in these moments you discover who you are, you discover your strengths and weaknesses, and find the joy in knowing who you are. "But what if I don't like who I find?" you may ask. It's time for self-assessment followed by plans to recreate who you are. Perhaps you've allow the opinions of others to infiltrate and overshadow your own thinking capacity and you've lost your way - not sure of what you believe. There's no time like the present to begin to change and adopting some 'you' time to create a new you and new opinions of yourself.

4) Connect with the place of love

Search your heart for the place of love. Even if you've never done this before, there's a place within us where love resides and as you sit in your quiet place allow your mind to focus on this emotion of love within. The more you do this exercise, the more you'll find that it will expand, heal and energize you from within. Your day will have more meaning. The simplest tasks will bring you more joy because you're not looking for your joy or contentment from outside of yourself, you would have found it within and therefore it will radiate outward in all you do, giving meaning to your everyday routine.

5) Increase your 'me' time

If you find that you're lacking joy, meaning in your life, contentment and balance, you need to check the amount of time you're spending filling up your inner love tank and replenishing your inner resources. For as you're giving out on a daily basis to your loved ones, your friends or even a stranger, you need to replenish the energy that you've dispensed. You may be running on low or empty fuel. As you begin to replenish within, the radiance of your inner beauty will brighten your life and overflow into all you do. 

As you use these steps, you'll find that you'll begin to enjoy life on your journey of self-exploration and discovery.

Tomorrow we'll go into how you can take it to the next level, draw more power, strength, love, life into you and find a solid foundation to stand on even if your outer experience may seem chaotic.

Finding who you are - Getting connected

Do you find yourself going through the motion of everyday living - trying to do everything for everyone else or doing what you 'should' be doing but still feel disconnected from everything and everyone - from life and truly living? 

When you find yourself at this point when you can't feel who you are, feel the excitement about life, feel the joy of living, it's time to stop and reconnect with who you are. You may be experiencing a sense of imbalance, going through life without really making the true connection and benefiting from the beauty that life has to offer. 

Beneath all of that disconnection, the true person of who you are is waiting to emerge, to shine brightly and bless the world with your radiance. But the demands of life have clouded over the radiance of your inner sun and give a grim reflection of who you truly are. It's time for your light to shine and break through the bleakness of the life you've settled for. It's time to reach out and embrace the life you were meant to truly live. 

Your being the servant to all and neglecting the person of who you are does not produce results of beauty and enlightenment. For sooner or later what you're trying to accomplish will result in limited effort, frustration, and the feeling of being unloved, unfulfilled and lacking in purpose. 

So if you're ready to come out from under the shade of falsehood and walk out from under the shadow of depression and connect to who you are, we'll dive into how you can find yourself, your joy, your power, your peace, connect to who you are and live an enriched, fulfilled life even as you're carrying out your regular daily routine.

Tomorrow we'll go through the step by step process to finding and connecting to who you are, find the joy in living and live life on purpose.
