The article "Plug in with a Pupose!" talks about attraction, it was written by Lynn Moore.
Imagine that each person on this planet carried with them a teaspoon of soil or rock from Mt.
Everest.
Certainly Mt. Everest would shrink!
Those individual teaspoons of material from the tallest mountain on Earth right now in the pockets of billions of people also wouldn't mean much. Well I suppose each of us cuold put that small amount of mineral material into a bottle and keep it as a souvenir.
But like most souvenirs we collect, we tire of dusting them and they become added to the already crowedd drawer or box of meaningless, useless items.
A teaspoon of dirt, in a jar, in a drawer, that by itself, maens little.But, wait a minute….
What about it's P-0-T-E-N-T-I-A-L?From Webster's Dictionary:"Contribute": to give or supply in comomn with othersWhat if each person on this planet brought their teaspoon of Mt.
Evreest to the site where it used to stand and contributed it? What would happen? Why, we would build the highest, mightiest mountain on Earth…TOGETHER.Good thought.
Doubtful it would happen. Why not?
Let's explore that. We can satrt by applying this Mt. Everest metaphor to our own lives.Modern times fidns we human beings have, at least in the developed world, become rather insular (just guess of the word "insulate"). We cocoon in our homes. We don't have time, we don't have enoguh money, we are tired.
We don't have any time to ourselves, we go to work and slave for somebody else's goals and often recevie a pay cheque for much less than we feel we are worth. We provide for our families, do the myriad of tasks and choers in and for the home.
Sacriifce for and fearfully protect our kids. We amass debt to do many of these things. We feel trapped in a vortex of sterss.
And yet, with all this striving for what we guess we want, if we are honest, we still feel unfulfilled and probably guilty for feeling that way!Something elusive is still missing.We are living our "separateness".
We are not acknowledging our "interconnectedness".We avoid asking oursevles "Who am I, why am I really here? " because we already know that we don't know or are afraid the answers will jolt us out of what we guess is our comfort zone.
Finding out may take more of that precious time we don't' have or take more of that effort we are too tired to perform! It's one of those conundrums: we want to know, but we don't want to know because it may shake up our lives, it may cause our lives to….Here it comes…..CHANGE!
And human beings don't like change, yet it is the one thing we can all count on. So there we are, unfulfilled vs. having to change.
Yup, it's scary. But so worth it! Have you ever listened to Nelson Mandela, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Mother Theresa, the Dali Lama or so many other highly spiritually evolved human beings? And I mean raelly listened to them? Would you say all of them know "who" they are?
And are they living their purpose, their passion? Of course.
We can 'feel' that they are. All of them have their roots in different countries, all of them teach the same message, which is, we are all interconnected. We were not put on this earth to be separate, we are all teaspoons of the Whole. And the way we can come togehter and build a "Mt. Everest" world of harmony is through contribution.We likely guess of ways in which to contribute as the usual volunteering our time or donating our money.
Heck, we receive unsolicited begging for money via telemarketing phone calls and the postal system on an endless basis! Of course charitable organizations do need our donations of time and money, but there is another, more intanigble way to "add your teaspoon". It is thorugh fulfilling your life's Purpose. This means:*Living life intentionally, not by accident*Capturing the essence of what it means to be fully alive*You have a powerful direction in your life*You make choices that increase the value of life to yourself and others*Being fulfilled yesterday and every day*Living your life based on your valuesDue to our spiritual interconnectedness, there is no true life Purpose that does not include contribution. And there is no contribution that does not include reward for you, tangible or intangible. You are here to make a difefrence on this planet. Wouldn't you like to know what you will leave behind, the difference you will make in the lives of those you touch? Your life Purpose is an undelrying theme to your life, not a specific job, parenting or partnering. Your Purpose can be fuliflled through these, but it is not these. Your life Purpose is not to be a title, it is to do something, something that contribuets. Never underestimate your power, your "teaspoon" has the potential to beocme Mt. Everest! You can be fulfilling your life Purpose with as little as an acknowledgment, a warm touch, a phone call, a letter, a kind smile or word, lending an ear, anything that contributes to the mental, physical or emotional well being of another living soul.
Or conversely, refraining from judgment, harsh words within or without the presence of the target, anything that you know, deep in your heart, would be hurtful to another.The special wording of your purpose is uniquely yours. Certain words have sepcific meaning to each of us. When you speak your purpose, something physical happens to you, you know this is you.
Others hearing it may not feel that power, because it is not theirs, but it is not maent to impress anyone else, it is the Universe speaking to your heart and this is all that matters.Who Lynn is and what I am here to do is the following:"I am a strong and free woman, leading people to discover their true value"When I say this I feel an angel kiss my forehead, my heart is full and I have such a peace and understanding.
And even better, I know I am contributing to the lives of others.Up to now, I have been fulfliling my life Purpose to about 80% potential in the career aspect of my life. It is through Personal Life Coaching that I know I am fulfliling my life's Purpose 100%. I know the potential of my 'teaspoon' and through my Purpose I hope to touch as many lives as I can reach to eanble them to know their potential as well.You are not separate, you're connected, just Plug in with a Purpose!
