Set Your Soul on Fire
Soul sister, life doesn’t have to suck your soul away.
I speak from experience. At 36 years old, I went through a spiritual awakening. I “woke up” and realized the life I was living was good, but it actually felt like I was living someone else’s life and dreams.
I literally couldn’t find my place or my own voice in the world.What had happened to me?It was quite the rude awakening.
But let me backtrack.
When I was growing up, I was told to go after life – get the scholarships, go to college, and do or be anything I want. (Is this a good time to mention I am still paying off my student loans almost 20 years later?)
Because I was also taught to settle for whatever was easily available to me and to appreciate that life was “good enough.”
I was taught I had to wait for opportunities to be given to me. (I was definitely not taught how to create them.)
And I was taught to just be grateful for what I was given. In other words, don’t ask for different, better or more.
I was taught to SETTLE.And I was taught that if I wasn’t being given “better,” it’s because I didn’t deserve better. Ouch.
But hey, my life was good enough, so what’s the big deal, right?
The big deal is I was quietly killing my soul. I wasn’t living MY life. The life I was created for. The life that lights me up.
I couldn’t even tell you what I wanted because if you asked me, all I could hear were other people’s voices in my head telling me what they wanted.
It was as if I never had a say in what was happening to me.
And why was I always listening to people who weren’t living the life I felt called to? I recently heard someone say that the enemy of a great life is a good life.
A good life….it’s comfortable. It’s stable. It’s predictable. It’s safe. It’s secure.
That sounds pretty good. (Although as a quadruple Sagittarius, it also sounds boring. Yawn.)
And I wasn’t born to live a good life. I was born to live a GREAT life. A life that lights me up. A life that encompasses ALL that I am. A life of twists and turns and adventure.
Tell me, is this you?
I am a life path 1: a born leader.
I am an old soul with an extremely playful inner child.
I’m the girl who goes out and pretends it’s her birthday just for fun and meets her soul mate.
Did I mention I got divorced after my spiritual awakening?
It was painful. I felt crazy.
My entire life flipped upside down.
I lost my marriage and a lot of friends.
But what I gained was so much more valuable…
Me.
I finally found me.
All of me.
Not just the aspects others approved of.
My boyfriend (the faux birthday soul mate) sent me a meme that said: Do you ever just look at someone and think, “Dang, I’m so glad I met you”? And I was kinda joking when I said, “Yup, every time I look in the mirror.”
But, it’s true. I am so glad I met me. I discovered all of my amazing spiritual gifts. I discovered a universe that operates entirely differently than I realized.
(Haha, spiritual awakening is basically realizing that everything you understood about life was false. It’s like learning how to be human all over again.)
I also realized there is a way for me to combine all of my skills, talents and gifts in ways that light me up – a way to bridge the gap between the spiritual world and the material world. A way for me to use my marketing skills to speak truth into the world while making money. A way to create a life of health, wealth and abundance. And to do it fearlessly.
