What's Really Important 

Do a short exercise right this moment. Make a list (in paper or in your mind) of your goals or purpose in life? Goals and purposes are not necessary the same thing. For the sake of this exercise, let’s just not make it complicated. Just list whatever comes to mind when you think of your goals and also add anything that comes to mind when you think of your purpose. Do it now and once you have completed the list, which may contain many or just a handful of items, just put it aside.

Now, let’s talk about who we are. As we have discussed before, we are Spiritual Beings having this human experience. We came with beautiful missions… as extraterrestrials we came into this planet and took on a human experience. As we took into this human experience, we started to forget our missions. We began to forget why we were here and who we were. As we went through life, we forgot even more… and life became harder. 

We live in these bodies and in these minds, but again, that is not who we are. We are the beings inside, the beautiful and magnificent beings inside the physical minds and the physical bodies. We are the Consciousness. We are made of Love and Light. Then, where did we go wrong forgetting our true Nature? Well, it is the Game of Life. 

Through our minds. It always goes back to the mind, especially, to the subconscious mind. When we are born into these physical bodies, the mind develops and normally takes 9 to 12 years before it is truly developed. These first years of life, the mind, the subconscious mind, becomes as a sponge, absorbing from the environment. The mind learns that life is hard, or easy. The mind learns that we are good, or not good enough. The mind learns that we are smart or that we are not so smart. The mind learns and we start creating our own reality based on these beliefs. They become engrained and so rooted in our minds that the challenge, sooner or later, is to re-train that mind. Retrain the mind to what? To the Truth. To be aligned to who we really are. Beautiful and Magnificent and Abundant beings. 

As we start awakening to our true Nature, we start remembering our true goals and purpose. There is nothing more important in life that to seek these goals and this true purpose. That is the only reason we came to this plane in the first plane. 

Now, connect with who you truly are, right here and right now. Start breathing deeply. Move above the physical experience. With your mind’s eyes and with your heart, allow a Golden Light, the Love of this Universe, to start pouring over you. Allow to feel the sensations of this Love. This Love is always within you. From this space, tell me now, what is your purpose? Yes. We all have the same purpose. To go back to the Source. To remember we are made of Love. Tell me what are your goals? We all have the same type of goals. To become more loving, more compassionate, more forgiving, more embracing of one another, more joyful, more abundant, more peaceful. Through these goals we achieve our purpose in life: to become One with the Source. Awaken every morning and send your intention to this Universe to be free from the old beliefs and to embrace the real you, the magnificent Being that lies within you. Feel the Love and embrace everyone with that Love. There is nothing more important in Life. You may want to revisit your own list now. Be the Love that you Are. Have a beautiful Life.
