We don’t always know our life’s purpose or journey. Or perhaps we have so many dreams that we become overwhelmed by them all.
However, one thing is sure: if we feel restless or discontent, we will not be living our dreams! Feelings of discontent and longing for something else, even when we don’t know for sure what we are being drawn to, are calls from the Divine to pursue our greater good. We discover genuine desire by first noticing discontent.
When you experience discontent or feel restless and are unsure why, don’t shut it out just because you don’t know what it means; when you shut off your yearnings, you become numb and paralyzed to create something more interesting. Bring those inner rumblings to the front of your mind for examination. These rumblings are nudging you toward a more meaningful existence and urging you not to settle for mediocrity. Opening yourself up to them for examination allows your discontent to lead you toward your purpose.
We also need to be aware of messages from those around us and not let others criticize us into shutting down our dreams or even our discontent. Restlessness is the universe speaking to us, telling us there is more out there and we are not here to lead limited, cramped lives. Allow that voice to be louder and more trustworthy than anyone else’s. We are not here to settle for less than our purpose, nor should we settle for what anyone else limits us to. Every one of us has infinite potential for creating whatever we want to create.
Dreams and desires pull at us, tug at us, speak to us, and will not leave us alone because we are not meant to live cramped lives. Let these inner frictions rub until they create the spark that will ignite the fire of your purpose. You will know when your desire is sincere, and just talking about it gives you energy and incites motivation, even when fruition is far off.
Harness your positive energy to participate in the plan that awaits you. Doing so will honor your discontent and allow it to lead you to your greater good.
