Insights from the Elders

Have you wondered about your purpose? Why it might be important to know what it is? And how your life's purpose might impact your life?

I thought about it for many years. Sought to find it by researching countless books and searched to discover what seemed to be quite elusive. It had become my mission, so to speak, to find out what it was in my spare time. You know, when I wasn't focused on my primary job, family, or an assortment of other endeavors.

Have you wanted to find your purpose? Do you want to know it now? Do you want to discover it to the point that you don't just wonder about it but have begun to search for it unceasingly? That’s more or less how it worked for me. Because it had to ultimately become my “must know” objective too. I also had to be able to maintain my focus long enough to finally access my inner-most objective. My inner objective could only become known to me when I wanted it strongly enough. It had to become my primary outer objective too. 

As you look around today, do you give gratitude for all that is; all that is in existence as you navigate this time? Do you recognize that even now you are able to generally do as you please? Even today, all is possible.

Do you reflect upon all the opportunities this time does afford? Amidst the pandemic that is still present, do you see the benefits of all that exists in tandem with it? Do you recognize and give a degree of thanks for each thing that is in existence that makes today easier? Do you thank those who enable this such as the farmer, the sanitation worker, the mail carrier, the doctor, the nurse, their support staff, and all who progress from there?

Do you wonder what is underfoot today and why these things continue to be? And how do you see this time? Is it met in an oppositional way, or do you move with the flow of all that life seems to be giving to you this day? You see, each thing is as you see it to be. And when you see each as a gift and opportunity, then do you see more will energetically flow to you in that regard.

But if instead, you see inconvenience, fearful undertakings, and all in existence today from a more negative posture, then more of that energy will proceed from that. You see, life is as you believe it to be. Even today you can find beauty and solace in each measure that is moving into cue. All moves according to the focus you keep. Focus more upon what you want to have in your immediate proximity, rather than to focus on something unwanted. In this way, you draw in those things that are more readily preferred. 

It is important during these times to explain to children about the distancing that is being experienced today. This, too, is why fear need not be. Need not be entertained and undertaken as it does have a ripple effect as it moves out from its point of origin. 

Parents must take the lead and recognize the significance of the parental role model they are entrusted with as they move and evolve in this life. Each might seek the means to be that role model as they recognize how their efforts do affect not only the one but the many. 

Do you see that ego often seeks your distraction? Do you also understand what is underfoot and shares your objectives this day? Do you wonder why you are doing and redoing things that keep you endlessly engaged?

Perhaps, do you wonder why you continue to hire the wrong person for the job? Or maybe to consider accepting an absurd position that doesn't motivate or even pay you very well? You don't mind engaging in a lesser way because you know there is a long-term objective that can be had if you can just tighten your belt and get to the other side of some undesired, probational activities. Once you get through this preliminary time, you can enjoy the spoils of your hard labor. Really -- is that so?
