After 46 years of living a life doing all that was ‘expected’ of me, I was not content. Then I started to question my life and purpose for living and ended up asking “Who’s Life am I Living???”. I certainly couldn’t find much of my ‘true’ self in that life and realised that I was living a life designed for me by ‘society and their expectations’ - hence my spiritual quest.
That quest led me to Life Coaching and finding ‘myself and my purpose’. Oh what liberation!!! Suddenly my Spirit was Free. Free to discover my own Power, Potential and Purpose. As I delved further into these 3 P’s enlightenment dawned – in a manner indescribable!
My past, with all its trials and tribulations became a valuable resource as I let go of all negative emotion attached to it and I realised that all that I’d been through that brought me to that point of discontent were the building blocks of the Life I was now ‘choosing’ to build. I’ve graduated from the ‘school of hard knocks’ with many valuable lessons that continue to influence my thinking and Life choices. When I look at my Life today, where I am and what I’m achieving, how can I not be grateful for my past, imperfect as it was?
Today I don’t work (for remuneration) a day in my life, I serve humanity for the rich reward of understanding my cosmic connection to the Universe and the Power I have to be able to make a positive difference in this world. I now totally understand the difference between working to acquire (worldly) riches and serving to acquire (spiritual) wealth. When you truly love what you do, you will never work another day in your life – you will serve every day in another’s life and be richly rewarded beyond measure.
Make no mistake, on Life’s Ladder there will always be people below me (less enlightened who judge and discourage this journey) and above me (more enlightened who selflessly encourage and lead me through this journey). Love, trust, self-belief and understanding my cosmic connection to the universe is what gives me the courage and conviction to live against the ‘societal tide of expectation’. I have become this pebble of positivity that radiates ripples of positive vibration and energy simply by being ME – the ME I was born to be.
Filled with endless possibility and limitless capability, I've ventured into the depths of my Being - on a wonderful, ongoing journey of self-discovery. As I constantly shake off layers of dusty conditioning and limited beliefs instilled in me over the years by other people's thinking and opinions, I remain constantly enthralled and amazed at the true simplicity of Life.
Now I CHOOSE to surrender to the energies of the Universe and TRUST that the positive vibrations that emanate from Me will return to me ten fold. "I encourage you from the depths of my heart and being to know that you have the full capacity and the right to make changes that will enliven your awareness, raise the succulent joy in your heart and experience the vitality that comes from living in balance" ~ David Simon
Understanding AHIMSA (non-injury in thought, word and deed) and believing in
SOHUM (I am That) "The human experience is a cosmic game of hide-and-seek. A wave of individuality rises from the unbounded ocean, and for a time, forgets that it is the ocean in disguise. When the wave begins looking inside, the memory of wholeness is rekindled, and the wave again knows itself as unbounded, infinite, and eternal." ~ David Simon
allows me to live in Conscious Awareness - "Only the human heart can live in present moment awareness. The human mind cannot, because its essential nature is to ponder the past and plan the future. This is why all wise beings encourage us to go beyond the mind into the timeless, boundless transcendence of heart-centered awareness." ~ David Simon
Finally, I have discovered my Life's Purpose - TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD - simply by being ME and sharing the wonderful gifts that brought me to where I am today. I live my Life's Purpose in service to Humanity and the Universe - ILLUMINATING TRUE HUMAN POTENTIAL!
LOVE, LIGHT & PEACE ALWAYS...
