“Honor Your Discontent"
Hello Friend!
We don’t always know what our life’s purpose or journey is supposed to be; or we may have so many dreams we are overwhelmed with them all. However, one thing is for sure, if we are feeling restless or discontent, we are not living our dreams! Feelings of discontent and longings for something else, even when we don’t know for sure toward what we are being drawn, are actually calls from God to pursue our greater good. We discover true desire by first noticing discontent.
When you experience discontent or feel restless and you’re not sure why, don’t shut it out just because you don’t know what it means. When you shut off your yearnings, you become numb and paralyzed to create something more interesting. Bring those inner rumblings to the front of your mind for examination. These rumblings are nudging you toward a more meaningful existence and urging you not to settle for mediocrity. By opening yourself up to them for examination you are allowing your discontent to lead you toward your purpose.
We also need to be aware of messages from those around us and not let others criticize us into shutting down our dreams, or even our discontent. Restlessness is God speaking to us, telling us there is more of us to bring to the fore, and we are not here to lead limited cramped lives. Often we have unexpressed talents, gifts and abilities that we are not awrae of and those nudgings are God's way of calling us to more, more of what we are created to Be. Allow God’s voice to be louder and ring truer than anyone else’s. We are not here to settle for less than our purpose, nor should we settle for what anyone else limits us to. Each and every one of us has infinite potential for creating whatever it is we want to create. God does not want us to live constricted lives.
Friend, our dreams and desires pull at us, tug at us, speak to us, and will not leave us alone because we are not meant to live constricted lives. Let these inner frictions rub until they create the spark that will ignite the fire of your own purpose. You will know when your desire is sincere when just talking about what you would love gives you energy and incites motivation in you, even when fear and discomfort try to stop you. And, even when fruition is far off. Friend, Harness your positive energy to partake in the Dream that is in store for you. In doing so, you will be honoring your discontent and letting it lead you to your greater good. Below are two of my favorite quotes when it comes to honoring our discontent and going forward with our Dreams.
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours...and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it NOW." ~ Goethe
