Paradigm pathways
It never ceases to amaze me how one event can give you a sense of having had a "great day". I have that sensation today. It has a to do with how successful I feel, which of course is determined by how I defined success. Successful for me is feeling I have learnt something today that will cause a shift in my potential. I call this Paradigm Pathways. Because of a decision I made today, I have turned left instead of right, gone to this event or not etc. (I have talked about this in an earlier post). The basic principle is that my actions/decisions have a marked affect in such an enormous way, that I can never know. But if this becomes the reason why I do things, then I will have great satisfaction with my life. I will have a true sense of meaning. If this is how I define success, by following my intuition, and being available to the opportunity when offered, (to be a change agent), then I will can say today, I have felt successful.
Today my lesson was to define my purpose. Why, well, because without knowing this , every other decision I make may well have not point, and it would be a great waste of resources and potential to be pursuing perceived ideas of success, that actually did not match to my true sense of self worth, or my true purpose. I had been caught up in the academy trying to get it up and running, but didn't feel that it was my future. All the work I am doing on it feels pointless, because it doesn't relate to my purpose. I had for a very long time believed that my purpose was to 'understand the creative process'. I also knew that in order to succeed, I would have to one day, let go of that goal, even though at the time, this goal was my purpose and life. Now I understand. I needed that purpose to get me to here. Now I am here, that purpose no longer fits, works or is relevant. Therefore I need to change it. By changing it, I find my true purpose, which plugs my soul into the Universe, and the creative process is engaged. The energy flows and luck, abundance etc flows through me and to me.
I have been exposed to the idea that my new purpose was to be a change agent. I really didn't have a clue what this meant, nor what it entailed, therefore I didn't really relate to it, in which case I certainly wasn't engaging anything practical. On this basis, nothing in my life changed. Today I have had the opportunity to learn more about what the job entails. How a change agent affects the pathways/potentials and realities of others, and all that are connected to them. It is an incredibly fulfilling job. I see this as my new purpose in life. To be a change agent, changing the pathways of others, to improve the overall outcome of feelings for all those connected to them. One person can make a difference to the world.
