Pay Attention To Your Energy ~¤~
I’m not trying to be New-Agee. But I’m just responding to a truth that I am presently learning. God has built us in such unique ways that our calling is not just an external / spiritual / cosmic ‘wish’, but it is a reality that is written on the fabric of our DNA.
Most of the things we do in life, we do them because they are the ‘smart’ thing to do. They are ‘wise’. They help us get to the next step. We do them because they fit into one of the hundreds of slots that society or religion tells us is right.
However, the problem is that we don’t believe that we are unique. We look for formulas to guide our life instead of God. (Ok, maybe it’s just me who’s read everything from Robert Kiyosaki, Steven Covey to Napoleon Hill.. But I really don’t think so). But anyway, I recently began believing (with the help of mentors) that my life and makeup is original. And in my originality, God has actually been speaking to me throughout my entire life, both pre and post Christian conversion.
One of the ways God speaks to all people about their eternally purposed design is in the activities and events that breathe life back into them. No, we’re not suppose to suppress joy and fulfillment for a perceived higher purpose. God’s higher purposes will include our personal enjoyment. We should be doing things that cause our very core to become more energized after the activity than it was before! Have you ever paid attention to the things that energize you, the things that do nothing, and the things that drain you? Have you confused success and achievements with feeling genuinely alive and in touch with your destiny?
For the next week, (especially at work) why don’t you start paying attention to your energy and see if God is speaking. Let me know what you find out… And we’ll discuss this more next time.
