After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.

If we could understand people’s reactions from their state of being, then it would be easy to rise above the fray to someone’s intentionally hurtful verbal reaction to our pure action. Where “rise above the fray” is to deal well with an unpleasant situation. An empowered soul would not succumb to limiting emotions, the likes of hatred; revenge; anger etc. in their response.

Your hard work, moving one peck (step) at a time progressing in a rhythm dictated by the essence of your true (soul)self and the passion of your soul for your dreams, has not gone unnoticed by the Universe. You will indeed win if you trust your intuition or Divine guidance, stay the course and allow the Universe to work. Don’t forget to savor the process by being grateful at every peck of the way.

Being able to feel that passion from your soul’s desire (highest aspiration) will give you the energy (motivation) to pursue the desire and to sustain it for long periods as you would want to constantly feel that fulfillment from pursuing that desire.
If you are following your soul’s desire and you feel unmotivated for an extended period, it is most likely a sign that you are burdened down with blockages from feeling the passion, that motivational energy, from your soul’s desire.
When we work on clearing our blockages, we open up ourselves to leverage that passion or motivational energy from our soul’s desire.

Attachment to a “thing”, outside of ourselves, for our happiness can give us a false sense of security. The more the attachment, the greater is the illusion that we cannot do without “it”. We may try to control “it” for fear of losing “it”, not realizing that “it” really controls us. Being able to be part of something without an attachment to it gives us more control of our peace of mind and hence our happiness. (A soul connection is not considered outside of ourselves.)

Feeling overpowered by the other? Chances are, you are in a low vibration or off-balance. Or maybe you are feeling separated from the other because of their self-righteous judgment.
Every part of us has its place so working to reintegrate that part that feels overwhelmed or abandoned or rejected that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love – which helps us to connect to ourself first and then the other in a healthy way.

When following your highest aspirations (soul’s desires) or fulfilling your life purpose – if it seems like your path ahead is blocked any which way you look at it, then the Universe may be telling you to take a rest to refuel. Trying to push against this may only cause you unnecessary pain and can make you feel trapped or exhausted. When it’s divine time for you to move forward, the path will be fully cleared and nothing can stop you except yourself.

Feeling sad or overwhelmed? There is a silver lining in this cloud. Peace will be yours soon.
What’s yours will never be denied you and will arrive right on time. So, it’s important for you to quickly shift back into a healthy state as this can sink your moods even lower and make it harder for you to get back to a happy state of being. Try to go within to find the truth behind the sadness that is attributed to you and face it. Ask yourself, “why am I feeling like this?” or “why did I do this?” and spend some time in introspection and listen to your intuition for the answers. Erase all expectations of any outcome in this issue and be neutral. Then find something else to be grateful for in the moment and be happy.

Keep your heart open. Don’t put up a wall as this would shut you out of new possibilities.
There are certain things in life that are meant for us to help with our spiritual growth and fulfillment. When we go about life with our heart closed or we put up a wall instead of being our authentic self, we delay the time these things come to us. When we keep our heart open and follow our intuition which is the guidance from our soul or Divine guidance, we go about getting what is meant for us the quickest. In other words, making ourselves ready for when the Universe brings that opportunity to us so we can be in the right “state of being” to recognize it and act on it.

There are many factors that are key to a happy life. Contentment, being one of them, comes from being grateful for where we are in our pursuit of our highest aspirations/dreams/life purpose, while still working to make further progress.

Engage regularly in an activity that sets your soul on fire that is not dependent on anyone. This will give you the purest and highest highs that can uplift your moods and sense of worth and can be done in your own time.
