Early Morning Reflection

Last night I awoke at 3 am with multiple thoughts stirring in my mind. I tried shifting my awareness to my breathing as this often allows me to slip back into a restful sleep, but at 3:15 am I was still awake. I got out of bed and went into the kitchen to get some water. Standing in the kitchen sipping my water a question arouse in my consciousness-with all the self-help books already in the bookstores, how will I distinguish my message and make my contribution to the world? I am only one voice among millions!

In this moment I viscerally experienced the simple truth that the soul doesn't care whether its voice is great or powerful, the soul's purpose is fulfilled by the simple authenticity of expression. I felt in that moment that just by writing Snap Out Of it NOW! and clearly articulating my method of breaking free from the negative, fearful voices in our heads, I was fulfilling my soul's purpose.

My heart expanded with warmth as I acknowledged that my opportunity to help those who feel stuck and guide them toward inner fulfillment was truly great-I am one strong, true voice amid the crowd of those searching for my help. Many of my clients feel angry, resentful, dissatisfied with life, and miserable in their relationships. Many have moments of joy and don't know how to bring this feeling of joy into other parts of their life. The people I work with often seek to fundamentally change elements of their life situation, rather than trying to change the way they react to the situation. If I can help even one person discover how to become unstuck and experience more resiliency toward their life situations-more freedom of choice with their emotional reactions-then I am living my purpose and fulfilling my destiny as a healer.
