Find Your BlissWhat is it that Excites You?
We are usually good at what we like to do.Our Creator has given us talents and abilities that are unique to us. I'm not sure that we only have one thing that excites us and that we are good at, but there is usually a common thread between the things that we like to do even if they seem somewhat different. We are born with these talents and passions. They are intrinsic to us. As we grow up, though, within our family units, we sometimes don't get to explore those things. Often, our parents don't understand about individuality and want to channel us in a particular direction. There can be all kinds of family circumstances that will steer us in various other directions. Oftentimes, what we are particularly interested in gets parked away and is not realized till later in life or perhaps not at all. It is often a mystery to people what their particular avenue of joy may be. It may be something that has never been exposed. Survival has always been a human priority, and it should be. We spend a lot of time in survival, though, and if we ignore our inner nudgeings, we are robbing ourselves of the fulfillment that is part of who we are. It is never too late to do something that we have always wanted to do.
How do we find our bliss? Most of us have an idea or a feeling about what we like. Somewhere in among growing up, going to school, working and playing we have found something that we really enjoyed. Do you recall when you last were doing something that you were so focused on that you forgot what time it was? Pay attention to that. Do you remember solving a problem for someone who said to you " you are so good at that"? Do you remember being pleased with something that you made and wanted to do it again? Inside all of us, there is the knowledge about us. I call it intuition. It is a feeling about something and it doesn't change. We need to rely on it. It is powerful, and logic has no comparison to it. So I challenge you to take the plunge, if you haven't yet. Pick up the brush and start painting, consent to fix that guys car 'cause you know you can, write that book or article, or take that course you've been thinking (and thinking) about. Or just do the first thing that pops into your mind if you haven't found it yet. Indulge yourself. Enjoy!
