Lately I’ve focused on here and now, living day to day. However in the past week I reconnected with friends from around the world rekindling my purpose.
Purpose will make you realise the reason of your existence, it will restore your mind sight, you will start to dream and you will see visions. Dreams lead you to set goals, goals lead to mission accomplishments and vision takes you to the higher places. Euginia Herlihy
First, think big. George Lucas said You can’t do it unless you can imagine it. And then you shall find the way. Abraham Lincoln. Stay focused. You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction. Alvin Toffler Then Hold the vision and trust the process. Esther Hicks
My 2022 will be a year to remember. What about you?

To everything there is a season.
Last Sunday an acquaintance tragically died through misadventure. This tenuous thread called life is but a blink of time during which we live, love, learn and leave. Like the seasons, we too shall pass. Yet to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die. – Thomas Campbell
This weekend we celebrate the passing of spring and the beginning of summer. Nature reminds us that for everything there is a purpose. King Solomon wrote these words 3000 years ago, Pete Seeger set them to lyrics and the Byrds sang it. (listen here Turn )
To everything
There is a season
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may…
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons. ~Ruth Ann Schabacker
In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln
Why
Why...why not...why not me....why not now.... James Allen
Research states that the average 4 year old asks up to 400 questions per day, many of which are simply, 'why?'. Ask any parent if they have ever said 'Because I told you so'. As they age, they ask fewer questions. Maybe this is because they have learned the answers, or they simply run out of energy to ask. There is no doubt that as we age our curiosity decreases. We begin to evolve into the world of adults that is results driven and we are no longer encouraged to question but to accept the status quo.
Simon Sinek's Golden Circle model of 'Why, How and What' (on TED) espouses that we should always start with the 'why?'. This serves as a fundamental driver for our lives and once you discover yours, what you do and how you do it will find alignment bringing immense joy and satisfaction. Recently a number of successful business people came to me asking how to find purpose in their lives. The short answer is simply Asking why five times will get to the heart of any matter. anon
When you find your 'why' you find a way to make it happen. Eric Thomas
For me, I have known for years my why is to serve, to leave a positive and lasting impact onto the lives of others.
How I do so is by bringing simple effective ancient practices to the consciousness of modern man
What are my offerings of gong relaxations, teaching, performing, walking on labyrinths, kundalini yoga and self awareness workshops.
I am where I am today because I lead with my 'why'. This is a life of simplicity, integrity and authenticity. It is also a life of challenges, hurdles and false starts, however somehow the path find s me. Five years ago I would never have thought I would be where I am today.
He who has a why can endure a how. F. Nietzscche
Being flexible, trusting your intuition and serving your 'why' will give you what you need. It may be a road less travelled, it may require letting go and courage, it may even be lonely. No one ever said life was meant to be easy. It is up to you to make it one of meaning.
This week I invite you to find your 'why' by asking the question five times.
