It Tastes So Good

Many people are looking for answers to their prayers about their life purpose and searching for ways to bring more joy into their lives. While there are LOTS of opportunities to feel discouraged, depressed, and disillusioned, it is equally true is that there are EVEN MORE opportunities to experience the many blessings and yumminess that life has to offer. Part of living on purpose and bringing more joy into your life is APPRECIATING what already exists.

Food, shelter, and clothing are just the tip of the iceberg. Appreciate the beautiful colors and scents that nature provides us AT NO COST. Appreciate getting to your destination in one piece. Show gratitude for the driving skills of those on the highway. You may have gotten cut off in the merge lane or flipped a bird for driving the speed limit, but guess what? When hundreds and thousands of cars are surrounding you and all are staying within the white line, you've just experienced a blessing. Show eternal gratitude for the friends and family that you have been blessed with. Even if they get on your very last nerve, they are a testament to the fact that you are indeed connected to someone. And don't get me started on the laughter of children. Ahhh that warms my heart!! I especially enjoy the unconditional love that my two doggie-children shower me with on a daily basis. Love wrapped in fur is the best way I can describe them.

Take a look around you and do an assessment. Name, or even better, write down the plethora of blessings that have been sent your way. Showing gratitude makes it much easier to tap into what makes your heart sing. And when you find what makes your heart sing, you are well on your way to fully realizing your life purpose. Release yourself from the pressure of finding your purpose. Live life from a place of gratitude and your purpose will reveal itself.

Now that I mention revealing, in order to see what you are searching for, it is very important to have a proper perspective and a willingness to experience something new. Growing up, I wasn't very fond of spinach. As I've grown and began to adopt a healthier lifestyle, I began to explore different foods to help balance my diet. I would repeatedly hear how eating plenty of green vegetables was an excellent practice to incorporate into your eating regimen. While broccoli has always had a firm place on the menu, I hadn't given spinach it's just opportunity. Then one day I gave it another try and something changed. Spinach suddenly became delicious and is actually one of my favorite vegetables now. With a myriad of health benefits that spinach offers, I am so very pleased that I allowed my taste palate to evolve!

As with food choices, I encourage you to also allow a change in palate in other areas in your life.

1. Incorporate more exercise into your life.
2. Add regular prayer and meditation into your daily practice.
3. Exercise restraint from speaking out of anger.
4. Take up new hobby.
5. Make NOW a great time to face a life-long fear and conquer it.

Allow the yumminess that life has to offer present you with opportunities to experience an abundant and more fulfilled life.

Peace and Balance,
