It isn't difficult to realize that if you keep the same habits you shouldn't expect any change.
"I don't know what to do" I feel is an excuse if you are taking the time to discover what it is you want to do. The point is I already know albeit vaguely what I want to do, probably like many others on the forum. I'm also competent enough to know how to gain more clarity on the subject given any continued effort. I'm not interested with that anymore. I've read plenty of info and done the work on finding your purpose, core value, strengths etc. including reading this blog which was very helpful.
Now I'm interested in the action part. I agree that it is always an excuse to sit on your hands even in the face of uncertainty but that doesn't mean I don't value info or any personal experience on the subject.
So why am I sitting here typing this instead of at the library? Its not because I'm uncommitted, its because I don't consider actively pursuing a career at this moment to be priority one. Some might see that as a lack of commitment but 'lack' is relative to your values.
"The more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it". Although, that might explain my choice in priorities lol. |
I think there is truth to the "resistance" factor when called to action for the souls evolution. Moses backed out for 40 years!!!! And then he rose to the challenge.
After I read Steves post I was drawn immediatlely to the 'are you a lightworker or a darkworker' post down below. Well I think it lines up fairly well as a combination of both thoughts on career and commitment and on the resistance. Have a read. See what you think.
