Cultivating Inner Peace Amidst the Chaos

In the hustle and bustle of life, amidst the chaos and commotion, finding peace seemed like an elusive dream. I vividly recall telling someone, "You are disturbing my peace," not realizing the profound truth behind those words.

As a young person, I often sought peace externally, unaware that it was within my power to cultivate it from within. I yearned for tranquility, but it always seemed to come after some upheaval or disturbance that left me feeling unsettled.

It took a series of life lessons and moments of deep reflection for me to realize the source of true peace. One day, during a particularly profound meditation session, I heard a voice within me, the voice of the universe perhaps, whispering, "You are responsible for the peace you seek."

Those words struck me like lightning. I realized that peace wasn't something to be found outside of myself; it was a sacred space within, waiting to be accessed and nurtured. From that moment on, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-responsibility.

I stopped searching for peace and instead began creating it for myself. I developed spiritual practices that grounded me and kept me connected to that inner sanctuary of calm. I made conscious choices to surround myself with positivity and to avoid environments and people that disrupted my peace.

Taking ownership of my peace became the cornerstone of my spiritual awareness. I understood that I owed it to myself to foster an environment where peace could flourish, where my spirit could thrive.

Embracing the Realness of Living in Your Purpose

What does it truly mean to live in your purpose? It's a question that has echoed in the depths of my mind for as long as I can remember. Am I living in alignment with my purpose? How do I even begin to find the right path?

I can remember having a deep desire to help people. Growing up, I thought it would manifest as a doctor, a counselor, or a life coach. For many years, that’s exactly what I pursued. I finished my degree in psychology and started taking clients. I proudly named all of my accolades, thinking they would bring me happiness.

It wasn’t until life began to change for me in the areas I had ignored or simply chose to turn a blind eye to—old hurt and wounds I had glided over and never allowed myself to feel and heal—that I began to understand the realness of living in my purpose. These were the very areas of my life that were tested, pushing me to embrace authenticity and true healing.

Living In Your Purpose

I had no clue that to heal a lack mindset, I needed to learn greater appreciation and gratitude for all of my blessings. I didn’t know that to gain expansion in my life, I would have to clear away so many people, things, habits, and ways of being. No one ever told me that I would have to be brought to baseline to develop the spiritual confidence to overcome any challenge. But life has a way of teaching us the lessons we need to learn.

I experienced one challenge after another, some bringing me to my knees. I’m just grateful to be able to see now that I have overcome and gained so many new and profound lessons and principles. With sincerity, I can say that I am now truly able to be of service.

Living in my purpose isn’t about the titles or the accolades. It’s about the genuine, unfiltered journey of confronting the parts of myself I tried to hide, healing old wounds, and evolving into a more authentic version of myself. It’s about embracing the authenticity of every moment, every challenge, and every triumph.

Living In Your Purpose

I discovered that my purpose was never something external to me; it was woven into the very fabric of my being. It was the natural inclination to offer guidance and support to those in need, to help them reconnect with the universal source of wisdom that resides within us all.

Living in my purpose, I've come to realize, means staying connected to that inner voice, that infinite wellspring of knowledge and intuition. It's about trusting in the journey and allowing life to lead me to situations and circumstances where my gifts can shine brightest.

It's about recognizing the inherent goodness within ourselves and using it to uplift and inspire others. It's about embracing the realness of who we are and allowing our purpose to unfold organically, guided by the wisdom of our innermost selves.

I hope my journey inspires you to embrace your own path, no matter how challenging it may seem. Remember, it’s in those moments of struggle that we find our true strength and purpose.

Finding My Voice Among the Noise

Growing up, my favorite author was Dr. Maya Angelou. Her book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captivated me, and I admired her for using her voice to shine a light on the injustices of the world. I remember thinking to myself that one day, I would grow up to be a writer, using my own voice to address both the great and small injustices against humanity.

But as life moved on, that zeal I once had for life began to wane. Choices and circumstances pulled me further and further away from nurturing that gift of writing. I let other things overshadow my passion, and slowly, that determined writer inside me started to fade away.

This suppression, I later discovered, manifested itself in every aspect of my life. When I did muster the courage to speak up, I found myself curving the conversation, tiptoeing around issues to avoid offending or challenging those around me. It became a disservice not only to myself but to the authenticity of my relationships and interactions.

It wasn’t until life’s challenges became too heavy to bear in silence that I found myself turning back to my first love—writing. In the midst of pain and anguish, I began to write to release my emotions, rediscovering that deep-seated desire to call attention to the hearts of humanity. Now, I’m thrilled to share my voice with all of you once more.

The realization hit me hard: I had internalized the belief that my voice didn't matter, that speaking up meant inviting conflict or rejection. Consequently, I only expressed myself in negative or defensive ways, further reinforcing the cycle of silence and misunderstanding

As time passed, I saw how this pattern seeped into my spiritual practice. The pain of being silenced led me to approach the universe with prayers tainted by fear, anxiety, and doubt. I repeated my petitions endlessly, convinced that my voice wasn't being heard, that my desires were somehow unworthy.

But through introspection and self-discovery, I came to a profound understanding. I realized that I am entitled to speak my truth, that my voice carries weight and significance. Instead of shrinking away from difficult conversations or muting my desires, I learned to express myself with respect and authenticity.

In embracing my voice, I found liberation. I

understood that my prayers, my intentions, could only manifest when rooted in love and confidence. I let go of the fear of rejection and embraced the belief that I am worthy of all that I envision for myself.

I share this journey not as a declaration of triumph but as a reminder to myself and others. We are all voices in this world, each deserving of recognition and respect. Let us speak our truths with courage and compassion, knowing that our words have the power to shape our reality.

I encourage you to embrace your passions with the same fervor. Walk barefoot in the rain, hike that trail, or start that innovative business that the Divine Creator has placed in your heart. Let your greatest voice sing its greatest song and trust that all your melodies will be heard.

I am learning that no longer will I silence my voice for the sake of other things. I am singing now—loudly.
