Everything is made up of energy.  From the grass outside, to the shoes you wear and even your own body.  This energy can be found in your own unique inner light that makes up who you are.  It is critical that you honor the inner light not only within yourself but also within others.

Physical Body

You are currently living in 3D world.  Where your inner light is living inside a bag of skin and bones.  Your body is simply a vessel for which you can experience life.  It is said that you are not a human being having a spiritual experience.  Rather, you are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Inner Light

This spiritual being of energy is a light within you.  It radiates outward as your inner spirit.  Your light is not defined by your physical appearance.  Instead, it is the traits that make up who you are.

Uniqueness

Your inner light is what makes you unique.  It’s what you believe in and stand for.  It’s your personality, qualities, and characteristics that separate ...

If your life doesn’t feel as fulfilling as you had hoped then it’s time to help you find your purpose.

1. Create A List

The first step is to make a list of all the tough times in your life.  These are difficult moments in your life that you’ve had to endure and figure out.  They’ve been challenging times and you’ve learned a lot through those experiences.  They may be ugly, terrible memories that you don’t want to relive, but y...

Setting goals gives your life direction and purpose.  Goals challenge you and provide you with an opportunity to grow.  But, goal setting is more than just saying you want to accomplish something and leaving it at that.  There’s a few more steps required to see your goal come to fruition.  Here are five steps to successful goal setting.

1. Set A Realistic Goal

Setting a realistic goal does not mean that you make your goals easy to attain.  Rather, you pick one quality goal that will require dedication and some hard work.  A realistic goal keeps you motivated because you can easily track your progress and see yourself achieving your goal in the foreseeable future.  It’s important to avoid setting multiple impractical or impossible goals that only be a distraction and leave you feeling exhausted.  You will see so much more progress when you put all your effort and attention into achieving one realistic goal.

2. Pick A Deadline

Often times you have an idea of a goal floating around in your head of something you want to achieve.  Goals that remain simply an idea are rarely achieved.  Those goals continue to float around aimlessly because they lack specificity.  Never getting clear on your goals is a recipe for disaster.  It is crucial that you define your goals if you want to successfully achieve them.

Goal Clarity

Start by getting crystal clear on what you want to achieve.  Ask yourself, what does it look like?  Describe your goal in detail as if you were explaining it to a friend.  Then, take the time to visualize exactly what you want to achieve.  Envision achieving your goal and think about what it will mean to you.  See into the future and embrace the feelings of achieving your goal.  Immerse yourself in that experience and bring it to life.

Write Your Goals Down

Now that are clear on what you want to achieve, write your goals down.  Don’t leave them to chance, floating around in your head.  Get...

Everyone has their own unique identity.  An identity is the distinguishing character or personality of an individual.  Through your life experiences you create your identity.  It’s who you are as a human being.  The problem arises when a part of your identity is changed.  Or more consequentially, removed.  This is when you begin to question everything about who you are.  This particular identity has defined you as person for so long.  Now to lose it, you’re forced to figure out who you are on a deeper level.

Job Identity

One of the biggest identities you can have is your job.  If you’re someone who has been doing the same job for many years you’re a proficient professional by now.  You often tease that you could probably do your job in your sleep because it has become so routine for you.

Job Success

A job gives you a certain level of prestige.  After years of hard work you’ve finally made your parents proud by landing your dream job.  It’s a major achievement that you’re prou...

Here are five ways on how to act with courage.

1. Stop Overthinking

Sitting there mulling over what you should do will only keep you stuck.  You may think you need more information; that you don’t know everything in order to make an informed decision.  At which point you decide it’s a good idea to ask other people for their opinions.  This only causes you to get more confused.  Overthinking things prevents you from taking any action at all.  Stop waiting for all the answers and the perfectly laid out plan of action.  Just have the courage to start.

2. Quiet Your Inner Voice

Only thing that is certain in life is uncertainty.  Things don’t always go the way you had planned.  No one has a complete view of what the future holds.  That’s all a part of life.
