Jim’s Secret Thoughts

Its been a while since I posted and a Wordpress upgrade messed up my old Theme, so i had to find a new one. In the meantime I have observed an interesting development in my own progress in pursuit of my purpose.

My wife and I had thought of building a center, a physical location, to offer our services. After some mentoring and self analysis we realized that, although the services are our hearts’ desire, the center was not. At the time we had thought the center was our vision and goal. Now, looking back, I realize that the feelings we had for the center and all what it involved were not exciting us. The idea did not resonate with our vision of helping others.

This got us rethinking about our purpose. Our purpose statement changed only slightly, as our desire is to teach others and help them release the old paradigms and live their life’s purpose. Now we are getting excited at our new vision - to bring our services to others wherever it is required without the restriction of a center. Soon our “center” will be a web portal, backed by our upcoming book “Wings of Change”, where we will offer our various services online and offline.

So what can we all learn from this? It is important to be in tune with your purpose. If it doesn’t FEEL good then reexamine your motives and plans. Is what you are doing exciting you? Are your plans resonating with your vision, in that they excite you just to think of it. That feeling in the stomach is the result of your intuition and is to be heeded. Does it feel right? Then do it. Maybe it doesn’t feel wrong, as in our case, but if it doesn’t lift your level of expectation then really sit down and analyze it. Is this what you really want to do? Does it expand your vision?

Lets not get trapped by business in doing things related to our goals if they are really getting in the way and hindering us reaching our goals. Find the thing that moves you closer to your dream and do that. Have you had any similar experiences? Why not leave a comment and tell us about it.
