Affirming our Essence
“Fulfillment of the promise of our soul’s nature is possible. Indeed, it is what we are here for…to enter the realm of our greater potentiality.”
Lenedra J. Carroll
In the midst of preparing for the launching of Pearl Dots’ first newsletter, and the initiation of Art of Being Life Coaching’s’ website, I came across many thoughts, insights and ideas etched on my journals…close to the end of last year. These entries had allowed me to soul search and explore my life’s purpose.
Writing has always energized me and sparked my inner light. As a young girl of twelve, I spent many hours at my desk composing songs and drafting poetry. It was my passion then…life took a different turn, and one day at the age of thirty, I stopped addressing the ‘written word’ (that is now the title of one of my abstract paintings).
So writing was one of my earlier, genuine passions…and I had never recognized it as such until a few months ago. At that time, while acknowledging the impact Life Coaching would have on my entity, I also realized that expressing myself by putting pen to paper was to be part of my journey. And that is how Pearl Dots was born.
I honor my Spirit by giving a voice to so much in me that wants to be heard, addressed and declared. At times it may be venting… highlighting a cause, sharing a story or delivering a message. Whatever the flow of these newsletters, it is my sincere wish to bring a small dot of my pearl wisdom your way.
Now…celebrating what brought me to you…and in loyalty to my Soul’s calling, a passage on what Purpose and Being means to me…Enjoy!
“Purpose is a state of ‘Being’. It is not, and will never be what we do…it is who we are! It is the stirring in our hearts when delighted and in a state of rapture…it is pure joy; the whispers of Spirit letting us know we have found our bliss; signaling that we are on the right path. And this is the secret language of ‘Being’.
Our emotions serve as our inner guide…not to be interpreted as feedback to our perceptions, but to create our experience. Identifying this core indicator can transform our lives. And paying attention to our moods and sensations; while making the choice to place our focus on positive, feel-good feelings, allows us to design our reality. It is this simple: When content and grateful, regardless of circumstances, we find ourselves on ‘purpose’…when feelings of insecurity, doubt, anxiety, uncertainty and apathy abound, our innate recognition is communicating that we are way off course.
We have what it takes to enjoy and create an empowering, accomplished and meaningful existence…and in this pursuit we can realize our mission. So in seeking authenticity and truth…and in our search to fulfilling our deepest Soul dreams, we are aiming to claim the strength within by choosing the thoughts, beliefs and actions which will most serve our highest Selves.
Listen to your intuitive voice and trust your Higher Power. And keep in mind…when the bits and pieces of old convictions have been replaced by certainty and substance, you will be in the presence of an astounding gift…your rightful inheritance of clarity, healing, passion, vitality and inspiration.”
