Dear you,

Do you listen to the longing in your heart?
Do you listen to what you would really like to have happen?

It’s easy to let it be drowned by all the other voices talking inside you.

´No, it’s just not practical´
´It’s not really that important´
´It’s too ‘out there’´
´Yeah, it’s kinda nice, – but it wouldn’t work, I wouldn’t know how.´
´Nahh.. it’s not really for me – I’m not the kind of woman/man who …´

Whatever our perfect strategy is. It usually leaves us completely innocent and largely unaware.. But have you considered what this means?

There is something tugging at your heart, or tickling, or softly embracing.
That would like to be seen.

Is it just a selfish longing?
A phantasy?
A bit of life’s art just sent to brighten your day?

You decide.

I’ve come to see these longings, as big or small as they are, as an expression of the divine. That which encompasses all of us, is speaking through us. This is Life’s way to bring into form what wants to be expressed. For the benefit of all. Life cannot evolve without us taking action.

As Martha Graham wrote:

So, what happens when you do decide to follow that dance class?
What if you are going out to have lunch in the park?
What if you are changing the course of your career?

Maybe you meet someone and a new flow will open up.
Maybe you enjoy yourself and validate your unique being by giving it what it loves, what makes you thrive.
Maybe you learn something that will prove to be invaluable in time.

But mostly, what happens is that you connect directly with the flow of life. Not as a bystander, but as a participant.

Living the Life You Came Here for asks you to engage. Asks you to follow that flow, that river of your unique Dharma, your unique purpose.

No need to get hung up about what that is right now. Follow that flow and you will feel, see and hear it in your life.

And that part about it not being our business to judge if it’s good enough?
That is so liberating!!

It is NOT OUR BUSINESS TO JUDGE what wants to be expressed through us.
It is our business to express it, give it voice.
And get out of the way with our ‘little me’ who can’t ever see the cosmic plan. Because we are too busy weaving it.

This is how we get to truly Live the Life we Came Here for.

And if part of your longings is to serve and support others in a way that is nourishing and wholesome for yourself as well – do check out our free training to help your get started with Soul-based Coaching.

I’d love to hear about what’s calling you. Is it the Rose herbal tea? Is it the birth of a new course? The beginning of a new life?

Remember that it’s not about the size or the ‘importance’ of the thing you are longing for. It’s about honoring the longing itself.

So much love,

Annemiek
