Fill your life with the kind of attention that invokes energy and that will ignite your mind to pay attention to what could be inspiring.
Question: I’m so desperately bored and depressed with my job, career, and my life.
It’s as though I have nothing to look forward to. I don’t experience joy in my life anymore. I’ve worked for years, and I feel I have gotten nowhere.
Could you please tell me how to redefine or redirect my life to gain joy and abundance? I would appreciate your perspective on transitioning into a more joyful life where I better understand my purpose and mission.
Alana’s Answer: Hello, dear one. Thank you for bringing your question to Alana. I feel that you are in a time of your life when new possibilities and promises want you to find them. In other words, you are moving into a wonderful time of life but can’t see it yet. Begin to approach each day as a new horizon rather than looking back.
Taking Measurements
As we mature, we look back at what we have accomplished and where we have allowed ourselves to be faithful and loyal to our natures. We also examine where we have settled for things that come easy or settled in routines by doing jobs or skills that serve others more than stimulate our learning.
It’s a perfect time in your life to identify a new kind of life purpose. Remember, a purpose isn’t a single direction; it is a continuum of expressions that involves learning.
Expand Into Learning
You may feel you have accomplished much of what you set out to do at a young age and have now cruised along for a while. Now, you are at a place where your being desires growth, new awareness, and a more profound, fulfilling mission. A life may be like an experience of having multiple lives in one.
Alana suggests you begin by getting in touch with a more profound personal truth beyond self-judgment. In other words, it’s time for some soul-searching and letting your mental perceptions take a rest.
The Adventure of Connecting With Purpose
Tap into an internal reservoir that hasn’t been tapped into for a long time. Tap into a place within while intending to create space for discovery to notice what’s there that has been dormant or suppressed.
Set aside any judgment; just allow feelings, concepts, ideas, and thoughts to surface. Write them down, and let the thoughts flow.
Tapping into an Inner Well
Begin by simply asking:
- What is the mission that resonates with the most excitement?
- What is it that would excite me and bring me delight?
- What is it that would ignite a spark of inspiration?
Next, put some energy into discovery. Begin seeking introductions to subjects, read various materials, and seek out interesting individuals that are examples of what you find intriguing. This type of interest is what ignites a spark that leads to motivation.
Fill your life with the kind of attention that invokes energy and that will ignite your mind to pay attention to what could be inspiring.
You see, creating an intent by focusing energy toward what might excite you or inspire you after gathering evidence is what ignites a spark your inner awareness can align with to begin drawing experiences toward the path that you might wish to join.
Listen to Your Inner Voice
Also, remember to pay more attention to your inner voice that wants to get to know you better than being drawn into the outer world of other people’s dissatisfactions.
Others may begin to tell you what you should do, but pay attention to what you’re feeling and fear not taking some risks. Risk happiness! Risk possibility!
Give yourself the challenge of discovering what else lies within you that seeks promise. You are never too old to turn a corner, open a book, or challenge yourself to grow because you will always exist.
So, why not ignite experiences in this present moment to invoke growth? Ignite experiences to learn, express, and become more authentic by expressing yourself in the outer world and holding what’s dearly close to your heart in your inner world.
Well Done, and There is More to Come
You have served many, done very well, and accomplished much. Alana feels there is still more ahead that will be fulfilling to you in this life.
So, dear one, begin your journey. Create a mission in life that feels delightful to you. Truly ask: What would make me happy?
Questions from the mind assist you in finding answers in your heart. They lead you to sources to tap into this beautiful reservoir of energy that lies within you, and it will begin to express in the phyical world.
Your outer world will follow, bringing you promise and opportunity!
Thank you, dear one. Alana appreciates that you are now in a place where you can experience more of your nature.
