The deep desire.
Do you ever feel like there is something deep inside that you were meant to do?
Or maybe you struggle with this idea: we are all purposed to do something great?
Either way it seems that this world is craving something different, something deep and something of substance.
What if that something was actually just to be?
To be totally completely content with who you are, where you are and what you do RIGHT NOW.
A thought that doesn’t seem all that shiny and marketable to be honest but one that might just change your life forever.
In this past season of my life this is a concept I am learning BIG time. I had some large personal transitions that felt like came out of no where. Hitting me smack in the face. I was like “well that did not go the way I thought it would.” This experience left me in a unique space of knowing I was suppose to do something greater than where I was at that point in time. This left me frustrated. I felt like all the life decisions I had chosen to that point were not the right decisions, that what I felt was my future may just not ever happen and mostly I felt alone in all this mess.
Have you ever been there?
At first I thought I would say I wish no one had to feel this way but after going through this experience I realized pain and transition might be one of the most important feelings we go through.
What if contentment was not just about the future greatness, job, family, relationship, finance, trip etc.
What if true contentment was about the BEING in the here and now. Not about the DOING but about the BEING and out of that BEING we can go and DO other great things.
Ok that was a lot in a little paragraph because I still don’t have it yet but it has been what the past 6 month journey/ life journey has highlighted in a great way.
What if we were content in the here and now?
What if we enjoyed just being?
How would that change YOU today? What perspective would be different? How would you carry yourself into each future day if you were content with just being?
What if just being content with who you are are what you are RIGHT NOW was greatness?
A crazy idea that seems to be very counter culture to the modern day world. This is where I am at and if I, the biggest “doer”, “worker” etc. can be content with who I am and where I am now (and let me tell you that is a daily struggle) just think about how you could inspire from there.
When we are content with BEING we then can start to dream and believe for bigger, greater and more. First we must be content with where we are right now.
So for me in this season and probably many future seasons to come I am working to be content with who I am, my beingness. From that space I will dream, create and change the world.
My hope is that you would join me in this space and accept where you are at, love it and enjoy it!
Once we’ve started to own that then we would move forward to live, love and lead in our true purpose.
More to come in Part 2 of “Am I suppose to do something great?” As well as some Simple Steps to letting go of doing and embracing being.
Until Next Time…
Live life to the fullest.
XOXO,
