If you want to live a delighted life by finding your passion and purpose, then you MUST invest some inward time choosing what you wish to do with your life.

Next, you must make the effort and begin taking action through inner reflection on living a life of purpose.

I am serious here, I mean if I could do it while enduring 8 long years in a state prison over a foolish securities, having to let go of my bitterness towards politicians, and rebuild from the volatile and often violent din of the cell block, then, so can you, too, live a life of purpose and passion.

By the way, my story is told from a prison cell in the first 3 books of the ever-developing series.

So, let’s move forward, and I’ll start by saying, you have the power for change within you.

I’m asking you to open your mind and dive directly within and discover how to let go of what’s been holding you back!

Keep in the back of your mind as you read on that the Course in Miracles teaches, “Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth.

No-one else is going to do it for you, so begin now seeking out how to find your purpose and passion!

But first, let me add all of this is why I so often encourage you to learn mindfulness training, and more on that here if you’d like.

Ponder these questions for a while.

Select one that you can really associate with, and go within and ask yourself the question over and over and over, till you have an answer.

Your inner divine Guide—the Holy Spirit, as the Course in Miracles teaches, will give you that answer.

The responses are within. You will receive your answer if you ask sincerely and listen for the answer.

The Course in Miracles states, “When you have accepted your mission to extend peace you will find peace, for by making it manifest you will see it.”

You can begin finding your passion and purpose. Invite the Holy Spirit within you to direct you on what to do next. And after that, take massive action. It’s worth it, I promise.

The Course in Miracles further teaches, “When you want only love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witness you perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations.”
