We don’t always know what our life’s purpose or journey is supposed to be; Or we may have so many dreams that we feel overwhelmed with them all. However, one thing is for sure: if we are feeling restless or discontent we are not living our dreams! Feelings of discontent and longings for something else, even when we don’t know for what we are being drawn to, are actually calls from the Infinite side of our nature to pursue our greater good. We discover our true desire by first noticing discontent.
When you experience feelings of discontent or feel restless and you’re not sure why, we so often shut it out just because we don’t know what it means. When we shut off our yearnings we become numb and paralyzed to create something bigger, 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 to not settle for mediocrity. By opening yourself up to these feeling, and even embracing the feeling for examination, you are allowing 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 and long is the Infinite, God, Source, whatever you call your higher power, speaking to us, telling us there is more out there and we are not here to lead contracted and limited lives. Allow God’s voice to be louder and ring truer than anyone else’s voice. We are not here to settle for less than our purpose, nor should we settle for what anyone else limits us to. Each and every one of us has infinite potential for creating whatever it is we want to create.
Dreams and desires pull at us, tug at us, they speak to us, and will not leave us alone because we are not meant to live contracted lives. Let these inner frictions rub until they create the spark that will ignite the fire of your own purpose. You will know when your desire is sincere when just talking about it. If it gives you energy and incites motivation in you, even in the face of not knowing how it will come. Learn how to harness that positive energy to partake in the plan that is in store for you. In doing so, you will be honoring your discontent and letting it lead you in the direction of your greater good.
To Your Best Life,
Christine Marie Pizzuto
