What Is Your Life Calling? 8 Powerful Ways to Remember Your Brilliance

We all came here on a Sacred mission and our soul keeps longing to live it.

As vast as teaching millions of people or as concentrated as being a devotional mother to a child, or even an animal, we all have our own unique fragrance.

This one extraordinary ray of light that is ours to add to the entire mix of humanity.

When we pursue our calling, our contribution to the whole, we feel deeply fulfilled. On other hand, if we are not in tune with it, it keeps knocking on our inner door and begging for our attention. We feel it in our inner struggles.

These few pointers will support you in remembering (you already know it all!) what is your life calling, what is your particular gift that the world will find valuable.

1. What did you enjoy doing as a child?

This is a powerful indicator of the activity or field of interest that consumed your early days, before you prioritised your life according to learned (often corrupted) importance. What consumed your totality before you were conditioned by your parents, family, teachers and society regarding how you should live your life?

Perhaps, you took some roads for the mere acceptance of others rather than your own true desires. In many occasions to pursue your life calling meant to be a rebel.

Connect to life from the heart space, from the innocence and purity of a child and you will soon tap into your brilliance once again.

2. Observe the thread of your life.

You will find many clues and building blocks creating the tread of your purpose.

Life itself organised all the necessary events, tools, skills and depth of experiences, which supports your soul as it is seeking to expand itself into its full potential. Sometimes we can only connect the dots once we are aligned with our purpose. Then we are able to track how we were always guided and supported even through what we categorised as "bad", we can now consider to be opportunities for your evolution, blessings in disguise on your life journey (even if you can't see it right now).

Life holds the power to provide you with the necessary keys to unlock your own potential once you accept them as they are: your stepping stones on your path for self actualisation.

For that, you have to make the choice to be the hero of your life rather than the victim of your story.

3. Observe whether you are wired* as a victim/ mortar/ pessimist or total altruist? or any other limiting archetype.

If you find yourself stuck in one of these archetypes and it inflicts pain on you, notice and accept it as a precious gift that served as a survival mechanism in your private circumstances.

It is not a life sentence and it can be transformed, but you do have to make a conscious decision that you want to drop this limiting pattern of behaviour, that no longer serves you.

The awareness of this pattern together with new wiring of self-loving attitude can shape shift your current reality into the one you are thriving to live - free from the bondages that were created in order to feel loved.

4. What blessings can you count and be grateful for now?

it is important to create a vibration of gratitude as it takes you closer to your life calling.

5. What gives you life energy and fills you with vital power?

When you live your purpose it feels great.

When I am speaking or writing I feel alive (did I mentioned, dancing... ?)

I am so passionate about what I do that it sends ripples out to people around me. It is magnetic creative power. what is it that turns you on?

6. What would you do if money (or time) was not an issue?

What would you do then? Most likely your life calling.

If your answer is, I will vegetate in front of the TV, surf on social media, or lay on the beach all day, anything along those lines than you clearly choose to stay mediocre and let life pass by. Perhaps, you lost the burning flame of the fire of life, or you are suppressing so much pain that it is numbing you.

In this case, there are many therapies to ignite this flame of life again, my favourites being breathwork and plant medicine.

7. What are your interests, talents and passions?

They all are powerful indicators of your purpose.

There is always a distinction between your gifts and the gifts you are here to share. It might unveil a new direction, a whole other angel. It might be all manifested in a way you could not envision, so be open to the flow of life.

8. What is your Golden Shadow?

Your dark shadow makes up your fears, addictions and dirty secretes. Your golden shadow is the matrix of your hidden talents, blinding beauty, inherited intelligence and unique creativity.

The golden shadow is what we hide from others (or even from ourselves!) and what we are unwilling to love in ourselves.

It can be your esoteric gift that you hide from the fear of being perceived as weird or your natural feminine sexuality that you temper for the fear of seeming too outrages.

When we dare to share our golden shadow, this divine aspect of us, we unlock its power and become more integrated.

When you own your golden shadow you shine.

*Wired means neurological pathways that imprinted a certain pattern in the brain.

Live Your Current Life With Purpose - Yesterday Is Gone, Listen to Your Internal Guidance

LIFE IS A SERIES OF EVENTS MEANT TO FACILITATE OUR LEARNING BY BROADENING OUR HORIZONS-AN OPPORTUNITY TO UPLIFT THE ENERGY WE CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SOCIETY OF PEOPLE WE MEET, KNOW OR LOVE.

Life is uncomplicated, it's humanity and the ingrained drama that diverts the energy away from the business of purposeful communication. Make a conscious choice to engage and experience expansion in your scope of thought in lieu of responding to triggers that ignite happiness, pain, bias or fear. Once I realized that in order to feel humble, I had to be humble and compassionate with myself first. In order to fully nurture another; I had to nurture myself, first, to be giving and selfless. I am in the process of learning how to give, forgive, and love myself more unconditionally; in order to be able to do the same thing for another. Otherwise, I will keep reacting instead of engaging with myself and my network of family, friends and business associates. I can speak candidly from a female perspective, we are ingrained at childhood to be humble, nurturing, giving and selfless, and that has not always worked out very well for me. I overcompensated, too humble, too kind, too trusting, too giving and almost completely selfless... I prefer balance in my giving/receiving- an energy exchange- if you want something for free, then you don't have respect or value an honest energy exchange.

Your self-loving characteristic will not delude you, if balanced, respected, filtered and if congruent with other ideologies, will formulate accuracy in your perception of truth and how it will lead you to open many doors for,that were once closed.

The uplifting spirit divinely designed us, enabling us to facilitate our own ability to express self-worth to oneself first, and then to ALL OTHERS... It's our responsibility to give FIRST to self, the proper respect, compassion and encouragement that we freely release to others.

Once we release all of the indoctrination, cultural fallacies, and pent-up frustration of hearing the words reverberate in our ears from family members, care takers and friends, then we can get on with the business of living a healthy, self-loving, autonomous life with less drama and more acts of healthier, organic thought processes. Our internal thoughts will evolve and enable conducive inner wisdom and spiritual growth to dominate our reality from deep within our subconscious mind, resonating into manifestations and outcomes that we choose to direct.

You are better equipped now, than you were last year, to block the words, songs or untruths, based on ego, that are dancing around in you head.

You should block these triggers with powerful truth,by focusing your attention on the reality of past victories, encourage self-love, let it guide you and sail you through the seas of life's oceans of emotion, that comes in waves of truth,untruths, perceptions and complications and finally victory!

Each individual must resonate with his or her own truth, showing respect and love for self first. Live your current life with focus meaningful intention and purpose; yesterday is gone, listen to your internal guidance and continue to the next phase of your life.

I enjoy learning from you and from others offering me knowledge continuously!

7 Ways To Boost Your Self-Esteem Fast

Not everyone is self-confident, self-trusting or self-loving.

One of the major reasons is because they have not fully developed or nurtured their self-esteem.

Today, let me give you 7 easy tips on how you can boost your self-esteem fast!

Tip #1 Understand What Self-Esteem Is

Self-esteem is nothing more than having a clear understanding of your own strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes and being able to move your life forward with this level of self-knowledge.

It's about accepting your flaws and loving yourself anyway.

It's about focusing on things you can control, instead of things outside your influence.

It's about living in the present and being hopeful for the future, instead of dwelling on the past that cannot be undone.

Tip #2 The Major Cause of Poor Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem occurs when you attach too much of your personal value to the external materialistic things like money, fame, status, cars, mansions etc.

These things are nice to have, but never measure your own self of worthiness against these kinds of Hollywood-portrayed lifestyle.

Other things like health, skills, interpersonal relationships, life experiences, love and passion are also crucial to your well-being.

Tip #3 Remind Yourself What You're Already Good At

You're likely to already have 5, 10 or 20 years of solid experience where you've learnt some major life lessons.

Take 10-15 minutes to write down everything you know how to do. Do not judge whatever you write.

It can be things like playing piano, climbing trees, fishing, playing as the basketball captain in high school, repairing the toilet well etc.

It might sound silly, but remind yourself of the instructions, the stories and the lessons that had strengthened you as a human being.

Tip #4 Daily Night Journaling

Every night before you sleep, you should take just 5 minutes to write down the Top 3-5 Wins of the day.

You need to develop a habit of reminding yourself the mini achievements so that you know you're making progress every day.

Tip #5 Plan Your Tomorrow The Night Before

At the same time, you should plan your next day while doing your night-journaling.

List out your Big 3 things you must dominate in order to make your tomorrow awesome, so that you wake up automatically productive and know exactly what to execute on.

Tip #6 Stop Comparing Yourself To Others

Never compare your hard, boring, tough back stage of work with other people's glamorous, successful, enjoyable front stage of victory.

It's plainly unfair to both of you.

You don't know the complete story of rags-to-riches. You didn't witness the excruciating times of theirs. You had no idea how much they had gone through.

What you see is just a snapshot of their peak winning moment. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat are creating a false image of ideal reality that does not exist.

Stop comparing and start focusing on making consistent daily improvements of your own life.

Tip #7 Be Grateful

No matter what happens, understand that everything happens for a reason and it serves you.

Your life is exactly where you should be. Trust the process and trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future.

Sit down, close your eyes, and remind yourself what 5 things you STILL have in life that you're grateful for.

Smile at them and keep going.

Cosmic Pathways (By Athina Vogiatz)

After a long year of ups and downs, turning all around, I have finally started to tune my heart, body, and mind.

The baggage from my abusive childhood, my inability to be emotionally positive towards me, my disastrous relationships and, above all, my willingness to stay aboard my fantasy wreckage made me drown deep in a bottomless sea of lies.

However, I couldn't be more grateful for this long-lasting journey! I have finally started seeing myself equal to everyone else around me: neither higher (with an arrogant flair) nor lower (placing my occasional boyfriends, my bosses, my "friends", my colleagues on a pedestal). What really happened in a second of pure silence and total mindfulness was that I embraced my inner broken-hearted child, forgave myself and finally let go of it all.

My goal, since I ran away from my family, was to keep running away from my pain: walk with bleeding feet on top of my treasure that had long been forgotten, surrounded by thorns. The air I breathed was slowly poisoning my veins until it reached my heart. I chose willingly to eat, sleep and share my energy with the projections of my defeated ego, non-existent self-esteem, and stubborn attitude to hold on to my illusions until they get fulfilled. I could not accept - I would NOT accept - that I had failed, that my dreams and goals have failed.

When I was a child, my fantasies were my best friends, where I could escape my depressingly abusive parents and enclose the beauty that I could still witness, and myself intact. Indeed, it served me well for a long period but it could not serve me anymore. I needed to face facts. I needed to face my reality. I needed to find my truth and find myself walking on my cosmic pathway.

And so, my alphabet of self-love emerged:

a) drinking water and providing oxygen to my body

b) eating tasty home-cooked meals

c) eating fruits and vegetables

d) taking care of my skin

e) listening to music

f) listening to the raindrops as they touch the leaves

g) touching the trees

h) smelling the nature

I) LAUGHING

j) witnessing the nature's wonder

k) writing

l) painting abstract pictures

m) dancing

n) cultivating my knowledge

o) reading = learning

p) walking

r) hiking

s) BREATHING

t) having an order in my room

u) spending time in solitude smiling

v) embracing myself

w) empowering myself through yoga

x) feeling grateful for who I am, my flaws and my beauties alike

y) LOVING MYSELF

z) walking on my cosmic pathway

If I can do it, you CAN do it too! All you need is to set your mind towards self-enhancement and stick to it regardless of the storm around you! I still struggle with my expectations and fantasies, BUT once reality sets in, it never goes away. In fact, it becomes stronger every day.
