“Honesty is not something we flirt with. We must be married to it”

honesty, living miraculously, michele landersAs we go about our daily lives, tending to jobs, families and obligations of one sort or another, I wonder how many of us stop to examine the path we’re on and whether or not it is truly the one we want to take, or are even meant to take right now?

Are we Living Miraculously, as I so often ask? Or as my friend Chad from the movie Leap, pointedly   inquires; “are we living from Inspiration, Obligation or Desperation?”

Have we invested so much of our time, energy, money and even belief in a particular way of life that the thought of “walking away” is unfathomable or worse yet, not even on our radar screen?

There are many of us who are consciously pursuing a spiritual career path. (Although, in my opinion whatever you’re doing…conscious or not… is miraculously, a spiritual path).

But, “what if”…. at this particular time…. you’re not meant to work at being a massage therapist, or a Reiki healer or a Hypnotherapist or Life coach or herbalist. What if….. at this particular time….  you’re meant to be in a more business… or “heaven forbid”…. corporate environment,  sharing your gifts in a way that is not as obvious?

I know of openly spiritual people who are in what seems to be the most “un-spiritual” professions, yet they know their presence can miraculously bring light to the darkened areas  of their workplace.

Reversely, maybe ….at this particular time…. you’re not meant to be a financial advisor, lawyer, physician, accountant or any number of “on the grid” professions.

My point is this; maybe we’ve outgrown the path we’re on, whether that involves career, relationships, marriage or even friendships. And sometimes we’re so entrenched in a way of living that we lose all perspective and hence ourselves.    I’m not judging, just saying.

Suggestion: consider the following questions to determine how you are feeling about your life.

  • What areas of your life are you truly excited about?
  • What areas of your life seem like a struggle?
  • If you could do ANYTHING…. what would that look like? Mountain climb? Peace corps? Travel Agent? Nurse? Circus clown? Doll Maker? Clue: what did you aspire to as a child?
  • Would you live alone, with one other person or a group of people?

These are just the ramblings of my early morning Saturday mind and I hope they incite some “out of the box thinking” for you. Ill close with this quote by Pearl Bailey;

“You will never find yourself until you face the truth.”

Live Miraculously!
