It always amazes me how much freedom we gain from clearing out, and how this opens us up to opportunities that we could not see before.
Once you have identified your core goal, you have to stay committed to fulfilling it as you walk it out into your life. Lou and I share the same goal; it's to walk in beauty, and we are both fully committed to it. The choices we make, the decisions we take and the way we prioritise our life is always done within this intent. So on to the next step, identifying which parts of the pile satisfy our goal of adding beauty to life and which parts need to be recycled into compost. This is not always an easy thing to do. We have attachments to everything in our pile, or they wouldn't be there. In tackling the pile we may need support, guidance or perhaps even a kick in the butt because we can easily fall into dysfunctional habits, behaviours or distractions. It can be uncomfortable to let go of what we know so well. Resistance, procrastination and fear may creep in. It is important to keep cleaning out the pile because if we let it grow, we see less of the world around us and we become weighed down. In extreme cases this could develop into a life crisis, falling ill, having an accident or losing a source of income. These situations are a wake-up call to pay attention to what needs to change for us to be happy, healthy and hopeful about ourselves and our lives. The commitment we have to ourselves and our goal is the key to moving through life effectively. It always amazes me how much freedom we gain from clearing out, and how this opens us up to opportunities that we could not see before.? O
How to establish your core goal
Set some time aside for yourself. Take a notebook and find a quiet spot where you won't be disturbed. Once you are ready to begin, connect to the earth below your feet, the sky above your head and feel life in the nature around you. Relax your body and mind. Place your left hand on your navel and your right hand over your heart. Allow yourself to connect to the intent 'to establish your core goal'. You may state it aloud, or pray – there is no right or wrong so trust what you feel. Connect to your heart and ask yourself: 'What are the 10 things I love to do the most?' Write each of them down. Now look at each item you have listed and write down how it makes you feel, what you love about it or what you gain by doing it. When you are complete, go through your notes and start looking for the common thread, something that weaves its way through everything you have listed. Write down whatever it is you can identify. Use words that feel right, keep it simple. Break it down into a short phrase or a three-word sentence. Read it aloud. Tweak it until it feels good. Is this what makes your heart sing? Does it satisfy you and bring you joy and happiness? If not, go back and look at your notes again until you feel it singing in your heart. Once you have found it, you will know. Now make a commitment to yourself to walk this core goal out into your life.
