I think living a greater life is when you follow your soul’s passion however small or large it may be. The soul comes alive when we follow its calling. We will begin to know who we are and what our unique gift to the world is. Each of us has something to give that no one else can quite match. We can inspire others by living a true authentic life. The wake up call is here now. All we need to do is show up and take one step at a time to be the best we can be.
Thank you for inspiring others.
I feel when I am doing what I am truly passionate about, my heart sings and my being vibrates with joy. I feel most alive when serving and teaching people to see who they really are, Divine Love incarnate, capable of the highest and best good. To me, that is living a graater life <3
I’m reading “The Art of War” by Steven Pressfield. A must read for anyone intending a Greater Life. In the chapter entitled “Life and Death” he speaks of the actor Tom Laughlin of “Billy Jack” fame. Tom is also a Jungian psychologist who has a foundation that works with people who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Pressfield states that “…The moment a person learns he’s got terminal cancer, a profound shift takes place in his psyche. Things that sixty seconds earlier had seemed all-important suddenly appear meaningless, while people and concerns that he had till then dismissed at once take on supreme importance…maybe it isn’t so crucial that he have the last word in the fight with his wife…maybe he should tell her how deeply he has always loved her…what about the gift he had for music…the passion he once had to work with the sick and the homeless? Why do these unlived lives return now with such power and such poignancy?”
Laughlin believes that “..the seat of our consciousness shifts from the Ego..(who we think we are).. to the Self…,” the place from which dreams and intuitions come.
The world is anew. Surface concerns drop away and we suddenly know what is of true importance.
This is Laughlin’s approach: he tells his clients to not only make the leap mentally but to live out there dreams literally. Resume that career once given up, the dream to play music, for example.
And guess what happens? “…cancers go into remission. People recover..Is it possible, Tom Laughlin asks, that the disease itself evolved as a consequence of actions taken (or not taken) in our lives? Could our unlived lives have exacted their vengeance upon us in the form of cancer? And if they did, can we cure ourselves, now, by living these lives out?”
Think about it. Feel it in your heart, and with all your heart. Search your Self. And live your Greater Life. Now.
Oops! The Pressfield book is entitled, “The War of Art”..”The Art of War” is by the great Chinese philosopher, Sun Tzu. Pardon me, Mr. Pressfield.
