What do I want to be when I grow up?
When will I find my passion?
When I retire, will I know what I love to do?
I’m gonna figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
It’s a huge burden to think you will find something now that you will do forever. The stress in the pressure to perform alone can cloud your creative expression. It can give you the: “Think-ing-to-hard-head-hurts-it’s too much-aw-forget-it-need-a-cookie syndrome.
It all starts with a cuppa tea.
The small, trivial, seemingly unproductive wants of the now.
What do I want to do right now? And do it!
hmmm… I want to pet my dog.
I want to take a walk.
Now I’m taking a nap.
Now I eat my meal. Body, what do I want to eat?
Now call a friend that came to mind.
Now I want write a blog post. Now I build a website.
Now I go to the store. Now talk to that person I bumped into. Now go for that dream interview that the person I bumped into told me about just now!
etc….. I think you get the jist.
Keep it simple, without judgment. You desires will toggle from seeming large and small.
If it feels good and nurturing, do it now.
It’s our desires, not our rules, limits, structures and “have tos” that propel us into more of us.
Desires are our guides to the now that creates futures. It’s the attachment to, or our judgments of our desires that stagnate life. Attachment comes from scarcity and need. Judgments are the prison of our souls. Wanting creates more wanting. Desires fulfilled creates fulfilled desires.
Follow your bliss? As you listen to each small “hmm, I want to” now, they respond and expand into greater understanding of you, and on to the next now impulse. All impulses are here for us to experience and learn. All experiences guides us to a further evolving of the forever expanding All God that we are. Every now choice leads you to the next now with greater clarity and joy.
The past is only a memory interpretation. It changes depending on your perception and understanding.
The future is a variable of trillions of possibilities.
There is no rest of your life. There is only now.
There’s nothing to do right now but enjoy life and allow life to reveal the next choice you make in the next now.
As you start remembering the things you love to do … create a vision of the future you.
Look at it; be with it. How do you feel if you had this now? Remember to allow it to swirl and morph without attachment, into form. Let go of the concrete ‘how it must look or come to you. It’s how you’ll feel when it’s in the now that draws it in.
This will be your subconscious focus in which all now wants will light you towards. You will soon be at a place of trusting your impulses.
Stay in the now where all of creation happens. This now impulse will step you into the next now impulse.
Enter your kingdom as a little child: Follow the simple “I want to” with play, fun, ease.
Give yourself permission to want. It’s only the belief that our desires are unobtainable that causes our hearts pain. Learn to be with the voices that want to distract or stop you. See “Be with me”
Life is a paradise of play and creation, if we allow.
As a very good friend of mine has said:
