Make it a habit of spending at least 15 minutes each day in complete quietness. Clear your mind and let thoughts and ideas flow. This is God’s way of communicating with you. Pay attention. He is trying to give you answers you need to lead life you know you are meant to live.

Seek, and ye shall find.

Once you get your answers from God, it is now your responsibility to seek out ways you can live your life’s purpose. Do research. Talk with people who know about your life’s purpose. Seek others who are presently doing what you will be doing. Research your purpose via Internet or Library. Go to bookstore. Believe it or not there is nothing new under sun. If you are interested in a subject, there are others interested in same subject and someone, somewhere has written a book on it. So seek, and ye shall find.

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Once you realize your purpose, research it, study it until you know a lot regarding your subject, all you have to do is knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

You will be amazed at all opportunities that will start coming your way once you learn your purpose. Once you start wheels turning others will start materializing that will help to bring you to next level. The Universe will start to work in your favor.

Let me give you an idea of how this works. When I decided to write a book, it was simply a thought I had. The very next day after having this idea, I went on Internet and in my mailbox, there was an email on How to Write an Ebook. I hadn’t even looked up this information yet. It was simply there, in my mailbox, waiting for me to read it.

There are thousands of others examples I could give. It is truly amazing and God never ceases to amaze me.

ACTION POINT: This week, ask God to help you discover His plan for your life. Once you receive His answer, research your subject and keep your eyes open for all doors that will start to open.

For instance, at a time when an incredible number of folks are traveling NOTHING happened to us. We weren’t involved in an accident, we didn’t get a traffic ticket and we didn’t have a breakdown. And, rest of family returned home safely by plane and auto.

Also, nothing having to do with poor health prevented any of us from being at gathering. NOTHING that’s life-threatening is wrong with any of us. Much for which to be thankful.

J.B. was kind enough to fill in at shop while rest of us (barbers) were away. NOTHING out of ordinary happened. There was no plumbing problem, no electrical problem and no customer problem. It went very smoothly, as expected.

At home, we found everything just as we left it. Our cat was fine and house was comfortable and cozy. NOTHING had gone wrong there.

What is my point?

BARBER-OSOPHY: When we’re inclined to complain because of what we don’t have, maybe we should make a list of many “nothings” for which we ought to be very thankful.
