The Care and Feeding of Your Soul

What does it mean to live life authentically? What does it look like to be coming from the Truth? What are the ingredients for a life worth living?

One approach would be to look at your decisions, specifically the ones you’ve made in the past. Ask yourself a simple question: Which decisions have enslaved, exhausted and starved your soul and which have freed, energized and fed your soul?

This is a completely different way of reflecting on your life and it should give you some very clear messages about how you got to where you are at this moment in your life. The key now is not to beat yourself up for making decisions that created hardship. Instead, take responsibility for making them, forgive yourself and release them. Beginning right now, wipe the slate clean, empty your cup, open your arms and decide to make all of your current and future decisions with a new state of consciousness about the well being of your soul.

This action alone will create one of the single most significant shifts in your life, because it will unlock the door to an authentic life. This simple way of looking at your decisions will make it impossible to hide from the Truth about who you are and what you desire.

Knowing what feeds your soul and making ALL decisions based on that criterion is the simplest, most direct, way to create a life worth living. Once you discover this, you will look for the quickest exit plan possible from all those decisions that are currently enslaving, exhausting and starving you.

Life is a precious gift with a limited number of life hours allotted to each of us. It is the greatest currency we have, and it is up to us to spend it wisely, not wasting it by feeling victimized.

We are our own worst enemies. We are constantly getting in our own way. Once we’re able to own this fully, we are then free to make new choices, choices that are in line with who we are...choices that nurture and feed and inspire us.

This can be applied to all aspects of our lives, our work, our relationships, our living situations, our creative expression, etc.

The beauty in this is that we can start fresh at any time right where we are. Each moment is a new beginning.

What new decisions can you make right now that will nurture your soul?
