We are all born with a special quality that makes each of us unique. You know, that thing that comes so natural for you. It sets you apart from the rest and you don’t even have to think about it. How can you learn to better recognize this unique quality, cultivate it, and nourish it in your life?
How can it serve you to bring your deepest desires into fruition?
I believe we all have this unique part of us, that something special, and it is simply waiting to be recognized and used for our highest good. When we learn how to cultivate it with loving intention, not only does it begin to serve our own higher good, it serves the higher good of humanity.
This is how we can become a divine instrument and “pay it forward” by turning our pain into a greater purpose which becomes a valuable gift to the world. When we find courage to take new risks, share our stories authentically and connect with others, life opens up. New opportunities emerge.
So, how can we move out of the way, allowing these gifts to express more freely through us?
Well, I’ll give you an example.
You know when you encounter one of those passing moments in life and a little voice nudges you to speak up? At that moment, you have a choice. You can remain silent, allowing the moment to pass by which guarantees the safety of your comfort zone. Or you can choose to take a risk with a conscious intention. To shake things up and step out of your comfort zone. For example, you reach out to that person you admire, share your story courageously with others, or take action on that bucket list item you’ve been wanting to do for years.
This creates room in your life for new possibilities to emerge. It allows inspiration to move through you and express itself. I have found this works magic in our lives.
Your body will let you know whether or not something feels right and is in alignment. When faced with a decision to take a risk or not, simply hold the intention in your heart, close your eyes, and listen to your body’s message. Does it contract or expand? When you think of stretching yourself in this new way, do you shut down or are you filled with exhilaration and excitement? How does your body respond?
Your body carries deep wisdom.
It knows how to heal and thrive when you surround it with nourishing food. Not simply the food you eat every day, yet the lifestyle "foods” that feed your soul on a deeper lever. For example, the quality of your relationships, physical movement, restorative sleep, and a greater purpose. So, trust your body’s wisdom to lead you down the right path.
Ask yourself this question.
What lights you up?
What ignites your passion for life and wakes you up each morning invigorated to start the day? Trust you are exactly where you’re meant to be on your life journey. Time is on your side. Your life is unfolding in the right way. When we move into this mindset, our body shifts into a parasympathetic “healing state” of “rest and digest.” It sets the foundation for great health.
I have realized from my own life that creating great health goes way beyond food and lifestyle.
Igniting the spirit and nourishing the soul is essential to heal and thrive.
So, start by asking yourself what lights you up. What inspires you and sets you apart?
Then, once it’s clear, nurture it and love it up with all your heart. Find the courage to stretch yourself and take new risks. Believe in magic. And then let go and trust. Know that when the timing is right, things will shift. Life will suddenly burst forth with new opportunities. Feel this inspired vision and breathe it into your heart.
The world needs you and your gifts. There is no one else exactly like you that can bring the world your unique qualities.
So, in closing, I will leave you with this thought.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive,
And go do that.
Because what the world needs…. are people who have come alive”.
