Ask Sharon
Tap in to your own inner truth
THIS week a question was submitted anonymously:
“There’s nothing wrong with my life but I can’t help think there’s something more than the daily grind. I’m starting to think I may never realise my dreams. What do the cards have in store for me?”
The Inspiration Oracle Card is copyright to Denise Linn, 2006.
The card I drew for you is “Inspiration” from Denise Linn’s Soul Coaching Deck. Interestingly, on the deck’s guidebook are the words, “What Your Soul Wants You to Know,” so you have come to the right place!
While I sense that you are passionate about aspects of your life including family and friends, even your job, you feel something is missing.
What inspires you? You will know immediately what it is. Often it’s during childhood that we form ideas about what we’d like to do and who we’d like to become. As we get older, logic and intellect kick in and we forget about, suppress or deny those dreams that make our soul sing.
When we are inspired, whatever we are doing feels good. Inspiration taps into an inner truth. It’s as though electricity is running through your veins. For me, this happens when I write. And it supports my dream of becoming a published author.
It doesn’t mean that you have to view your ‘everyday’ life as boring or separate, quite the contrary. When you create space for inspiration it will cause you to see your existing circumstances with fresh eyes and enthusiasm. That’s the effect it has on me.
Incorporating something every day that inspires you is the key. You might start with a few minutes. Over time you will build momentum to do more.
Little by little, day-by-day it’s those incremental action steps that will bring you closer to your dreams.
As I was considering your question, I came across a 2000-year-old quote by a Sage named Patanjali.
“Dormant forces, faculties, and talents come alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
This is what inspiration will do for you.
