Authentic Living
November 5th, 2oo8.
Last night I was writing in my journal about one's deepest need to live authentically from the heart. Authentic living means living your truth, loving and following your own unique path. However, a lot of times people are lost; they don't know what is their calling and purpose on this earth. That is when living becomes hard. You struggle to achieve goals that are not in sync with your true heart's desire. You become like an actor who is desperately trying to live somebody else's life. You build houses, projects and financial empires but all is in vain; nothing makes you joyous, unless, of course, building financial empires is your heart's true desire. When you lose yourself life is not anymore a beautiful game of learning and growing in spirit. It is empty and void of beautiful simplicity of living. But how is one to know all the answers? Sometimes we are faced with several choices and we don't know which road to take.
"Ask you ye shall receive," said Jesus. Any time you are searching for answers, when you don't know what to do, the truth is in your heart. You just need to quiet down and listen to the answers. It is that simple. The hard questions such as where do I want to go from here, and what do I want to do from now on fall naturally to you. I firmly believe that when you find the right answers and discover your passion it is like a powerful wave of energy sweeps the way in front of you and life opens up. Right people come to you, your job becomes an easy song you love to sing and your whole being flourishes while you happily live in sync with your true destiny. Speaking of synchronicity this morning I received an email from EnlightenNext magazine talking about authenticity. Here I will quote the exact lines:
All of those for whom authentic transformation has deeply unseated their souls must, I believe, wrestle with the profound moral obligation to shout from the heart—perhaps quietly and gently, with tears of reluctance; perhaps with fierce fire and angry wisdom; perhaps with slow and careful analysis; perhaps by unshakable public example—but authenticity always and absolutely carries a demand and duty: you must speak out, to the best of your ability, and shake the spiritual tree, and shine your headlights into the eyes of the complacent. You must let that radical realization rumble through your veins and rattle those around you.
