There seems to be something about the fall season that makes me want to get down to work. It’s like I’m following the collective consciousness of getting things done to prepare for winter. As I think about this, I recognize a pattern – Fall is actually for the harvesting of our work … uh oh -- my propensity to procrastination is showing. (big grin) However, years ago, I made friends with my propensity – I know I work well under pressure.

Some of us are still searching for that “right thing” to do – our Purpose. We go to countless seminars and read books to “discover our bliss “as Joseph Campbell taught us. There’s frustration because we think we haven’t done it yet. Perhaps, as Buddha said "Your work is to discover your work--and then with all your heart to give yourself to it."

We can let go of some of the frustration by realizing The Path is as important as the discovery! Every step we take serves us in some way.

How do you find your Purpose? With intention. Try this simple statement:

“It is my intention to do the work I came here to do.”

Now pay attention. The Universe will immediately bring you hints and opportunities. Listen to your heart – It KNOWS. Carl Jung wrote: “Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” As you find that thing that makes your soul sing – get committed to it! Refuse to let fear stand in your way. I know from experience that when one stays committed, numerous doors of opportunity fling themselves open, and Divine Guidance makes the right door for the moment shine brightly. With Infinite Intelligence guiding us, we cannot make a mistake. All that we do serves our higher purpose. Know too – that our Purpose will stay the same yet it will change in expression as it grows. What I know is that it will keep opening us up in deep surrender to the Powerful Wholeness inside ourselves.

I am so grateful to have found my Purpose … and for the all the gifts I have gotten along my Path. I also thank God for the people I’ve attracted to play with me. YOU are one of those I am grateful for this Thanksgiving. Many blessings to you.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

There is only One Mind – the Mind of God. This Mind is infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. It is the Source of all things, including me. This is the mind that I am using right now. Always have been, and always will be. As I think, I set this Powerful Mind in action through Love and Law.

I choose to be a conscious co-creator. I place intentions into Spiritual Law and know that Law works according to my level of acceptance. Today my intention is to know what my Purpose is. I am filled with ideas, desires, Visions. I celebrate my place on the Path of Life, knowing it is exactly where I am supposed to be.

I am so grateful to be able to have a soul-satisfying purpose. I am grateful to be able to use my God given gifts with ease and grace. I celebrate my life, knowing it is a Divine Life, because the Truth of me is that I am an expression of the One Life.

With a grateful heart I release my word, and move forward on my Path with joy. And so it is.
