Are you yearning to have a soul-centered business? One that allows you to spend most of your days (and life!) refining, expressing and activating your innate gifts and packaging these in ways that gracefully serve others in tapping their own magnificent soul essence?
It was a dream of mine (for years!) to spend most of my days in the business (busy-ness (TM) of tapping my inner wisdom and serving others in aligning with theirs, all the while honoring my inner joy as well as my natural rhythm and cycles.
As a continual seeker and explorer of the outer and inner terrains of life and consciousness, I progressed towards my dream, but I never took into account other aspects of my personality and hearts desires.
My love for travel, for example, and my desire to deeply honor and follow through with the whispers and calling of my heart (which guided me to live and study in many different parts of the planet), oftentimes meant that I let go of jobs, ventures and growing practices that I could not, for obvious reasons, take with me for the ride.
For me, listening to the essence of my soul meant surrendering to the attachments and desires of my ego (and yes, this also meant working 9 to 5 jobs while starting over in a new country, so that I could pursue a deeper calling!)
There was a time when I judged myself for not fitting into the “9 to 5” box I thought I was supposed to inhabit. As more and more of my friends were “settling down”, I continued to explore. I explored new countries, new interests and new ways of creating an authentically prosperous life (and for me that meant integrating the ways money flowed to me with what I loved doing anyway!)
Until one day, I finally got it…I mean, really got it! I had a knowing in every cell of my being that living a soul-centered life had little to do with what others deemed “normal” or “socially acceptable”. This moment of crystal clear clarity helped me quantum leap into what I have now coined my ‘Divine Prosperous Purpose(TM)’!
How do I know? The pieces of the puzzle finally came together in my life. I saw the dream I held only a few years back magically unfold before my eyes. …and I have to confess that I am still loving it! I get to travel and live in different parts of the world without compromising my practice (in fact, it serves my practice, as I get to personally meet my clients who are based all over the world!) and do what I love full time.
So, although I am planning an array of ways to share my personal journey and learnings with you, so that you too can join me on this delicious journey of alignment with authentic freedom and prosperity, here are a few “Soul-Centered Success Principles (TM)” you may want to already consider putting into practice!
- Find your passion! This simply means getting to know your-Self really, really well.
- Create a daily ‘reminder’ of your dreams and refer to them daily! Remember, out of sight means out of mind …and let me tell you, your mind is a powerful ally in your co-creative process! I invite you to create a vision board, a digital movie clip or even a recording of yourself talking about your dreams. These strategies have worked wonders in my own life!
- Commit to doing “whatever it takes” to activate your dreams! Of course, doing whatever it takes is always aligned with the integrity of your heart and soul!
- Find a mentor or someone who is already living your dream (or parts of it). I cannot begin to tell you how powerful this is! It’s not even about ingesting more information (although that is a part of it) but rather about immersing yourself in a vibration of prosperity and possibility. It literally works by osmosis!
- Surround yourself with people who have great vibes and believe in your dreams. If you don’t have anyone in your life right now, listen to authors you love and resonate with. Do whatever it takes to stay in the place of possibility!
- Create a plan, both long term and short term.
- Focus on “what” you want and not on “how” you will get there (there is always help in the “how” deaprtment!).
- Surrender to divine timing. Honor the 20/80 rule (at least my version of it). Do your 20% , and Source (or that which you call source) will take it from there. We call this process synchronicity and grace. It’s the rule that stands behind the idiom: “God helps those who help themselves!”.
- Have fun!
- Just do it! (Trust “Nike” to give you a good ‘ole kick in the pants!)
If you are ready to move forward with a soul-centered business, get busy saying yes to your soul’s calling. That alone will set into motion a process of transformation. As Deepak Chopra so eloquently states, “If you want to experience your soul, which is absolutely possible, you must go beyond the more superficial levels of emotion and personality. This journey is a journey of knowledge and power. As you embark on it, everyday actions no longer mask the soul; they express its dynamic creative energy. In other words, touching the soul alters reality.”
When our busy-ness(TM) is sourced in soul, then our work becomes our calling and we get to experience heaven on earth!
From my heart to yours,
