What is your assignment in this lifetime? Explore it in a personal retreat!
Do you believe you are here for a reason? Do you think that the reason is very specific? We all have a specific assignment here. It
could be in the field of medicine, real estate, art, food, politics, or raising our children. Whatever the assignment is, we know it to be ours. But that assignment can change over time, and it’s important to be able to recognize the pull in a new direction and to take heed.
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
―Jack Kerouac
When I was 30, I worked for an alternative radio station and the benefits person there said to me that I always thought the grass was greener on the other side. And I said to her that it was, because for me, it always was. I was always seeking to be better and if that meant moving out of one area of my life and into another, then so be it. If I never made changes, I would have never come into my passion and what I believe to be my core assignment, helping people shift their lives through looking at their fear and Ego mind.
Within our assignments, our actions are very important to the world and our smaller community around us. So, first realize that maybe being a mother is your assignment, and then be the best version of this that you can be. So no matter what you are doing at this moment, do it with all you have. Be the best mother, real estate broker, speaker, mentor, etc. that you can possibly be.
When I go into a restaurant and the server is really engaging and really good at what they do, I know that person is taking their assignment seriously. Maybe their assignment in this life is to be pure love and joy regardless of the specific task. It is a different experience when a server is in a bad mood serving me. It affects my experience. So if the server is passionate about the job and delivers that passion into our dining experience, it leaves me with love in my heart. Otherwise, it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Of course, I can choose to not take the nastiness personally, but it still changes the environment.
It’s good to know what our assignment is, and then to know that we have a choice to affect others in either a positive or negative way.
