When I spend energy resisting inevitable natural outcome of life I rob myself of living. I’m one proclaiming end. Every time I leave present moment and project myself into some glorious or uncertain future or relive my past with regret, I miss possibility of truly being in my life right here, right now.

When I awoke from my nightmare, I realized why I named my coaching practice “Path of Purpose” and what a path of purpose truly is. It’s path itself. It’s process of life unfolding perfectly in every moment.

Said another way, it’s not where path leads that’s so important. Instead, it’s path itself that brings us most joy and fulfillment.

As I continue to clarify balance of my being and doing, my thoughts and feelings about life take on a whole new quality. My appreciation for life is expanding, and I’m learning to live with greater awareness, gratitude and fullness.

If I were suddenly faced with a life threatening illness, certainly I would be afraid and would not want to depart this life prematurely. That being said, having emerged from my gloomy nightmare, I've awakened to inherent gift of life along path of purpose. The gift is path itself. As long as I remain on path, I know I'll arrive at end of my life without wondering if I have truly lived.

It’s your life…imagine possibilities!

In other words, being your Self releases you from pressure of having to BE someone else!

The big question then is: How do I know what I love to do?

What did you love to do as a child? What are your hobbies? What do you dream about? What did you dream about doing as a kid? What would you do even if you did not get paid for it? Answer these questions. Ask your family to help you. Search within your Self for answer.

Do not hurry. There is plenty of time. Consciously work on being yourself every minute. Become comfortable with that and let others become comfortable with you. Allow Universe to guide you. Ask for help. It doesn’t hurt! Then look for opportunities and answers.

I think you will find that answers you seek are right in front of you!
