What does your soul want you to know?

We get so involved in the nitty-gritty of life that we often forget the most important lessons we came here to learn – the lessons that our inner spirit is trying to teach us during our relatively short stay here on earth. Since the soul is the fountainhead of wisdom of guidance, it is always trying to communicate with us. Each life experience is an invitation to live as closely as possible to our soul’s true essence. This is what your soul wants you know.
You are OK just as you are
The main goal of life is to not really change, grow or transform yourself. It is to be at peace with who you are at any given moment despite what you have done or not done; said or not said. Transformation is a choice we all have, but from the soul’s perspective, it is not the greatest priority.
You are meant to feel deeply
You are meant to REALLY feel. Don’t hold back your tears, and don’t think it is wimpy, soft, or overly sensitive to expressive yourself. It is healthy to feel deeply and to give yourself permission to experience the richness of human emotion. Feel love. Feel sadness. Don’t walk in between as you daydream, really take the time to amerce yourself in the moment. This is what life is all about.
Be mindful
Mindfulness is simply the focus of your attention on the present moment, but it is anything but simple. With chaotic schedules, multi-tasking and an over-worked society, it is often hard to remain in the present and not get lost in the chaos that surrounds us. Mindfulness has roots in Buddhism, but most religions and spirituality practices include some attention towards love, kindness, and appreciation for a perspective on life that is bigger than oneself.
Your soul wants you to know stillness
When we are still, we can truly listen. As we listen we open ourselves to understand and it is within the stillness that we can feel the greatest connection to our soul’s wisdom. That is why meditation, being still in nature and finding a quiet moment for ourselves feel so appealing. They are opportunities to connect with who we truly are Kind, compassionate, gentle and wise. We just have to listen.
Let go of outcome
When we work hard at something, it’s natural to want some kind of “reward.” But when you become attached to outcome, it can take the joy out of the process. Life presents us with infinite variations of this important distinction—between what we can change and what we can’t, between what is within our control and what isn’t.
The present moment is the most precious thing
People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind. Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. “As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease.
Perspective is a beautiful thing
Typically, when we’re worried or upset, it’s because we’ve lost perspective. Everything that is happening in our lives seems so big, so important, so do or die, but in the grand picture, this single hiccup often means next to nothing. The fight we’re having, the job we didn’t get, the real or imagined slight, the unexpected need to shift course, the thing we wanted, but didn’t get. Most of it doesn't really matter.
Self worth cannot be verified by others
If you constantly seek outside yourself for approval and validation, you will never be happy. We are all different and we all perceive things in different ways but your reputation is not something you can really control. Your reputation is not really in your hands, so stop trying to please everyone around you and start pleasing your own SELF.
All that you need is already within you
In this moment you have it all, right NOW and right here, there is nothing lacking. Take time to be quiet at least 5 minutes per day and in time you will discover that you do have access to HAPPINESS, PEACE, ABUNDANCE and all that is good at all times.
Everything in life is temporary
Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.
Accept
To complain is always non acceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
Go out of your way to be loving and kind
Almost everything comes full circle. People who love themselves come across as very caring, generous and kind to others too; they express their self-confidence through humility, forgiveness and inclusiveness. So seek to understand others before you attempt to judge.
You need to clean the clutter
As Einstein once said, “Out of clutter, find simplicity; from discord, find harmony; in the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.” Sometimes we make life more complicated than it is. We attach our happiness to achievement and then look for it in all the wrong ways and in all the wrong places. Of course, you don’t have to live like this. If you feel like you are, it’s time to simplify things. It’s time to clear the air and get back to the basics.
Your troubles are gradually improving you
Someday when you least expect it life will blindside you with necessary chaos. And once the chaos has ended, you won’t remember exactly how it all transpired, how you made it through, or where you found the strength you needed to carry on. You won’t even be sure whether the chaos has completely ended. But there is one thing you can be sure about: When it does finally come to an end, you will be a much stronger person than who you were before it happened, which is precisely why it was necessary.

The path you choose reveals a lot about your personality!

A personality quiz that you just can’t miss!
I am bringing this to you because I was shocked about the accuracy of this quiz! Here’s how the quiz works – In the next slide you will see 14 very different paths that will lead you into a forest. The one you’re drawn to will not only reveal details about your subconscious, but also the path you’re on in life. So by the time you are done with this quiz, you will learn something more about your personality and your future!
Are you ready?
To take the test, start by finding a relaxing spot in your home. Take some unruffled breaths, close your eyes, and enjoy the calmness inside. When you’re ready, open your eyes and examine the picture on your left. Which path are you going to choose?
If you have chosen Path 1
You are action oriented with a deep need for physical fulfillment and to experience life through the five senses. You're a loyal friend to the end! Conservative, but always friendly and inclusive of others - not the life of the party, but always at the party. Sometimes really bland, but whatever — people still like you so who cares. You make a good boss, as you tend to influence others rather than be bossy and demanding. You are confident and find public speaking to be easy - with your ability to focus and concentrate on the most important things and your capacity for clarity of thought, communication comes easy to you.
If you have chosen Path 2
You have a great need to be with people, to socialize with them, and be accepted and respected as part of a group.

The appropriate amount of structure will allow you to live a calm, orderly life. You have high hopes for the future and will do what it takes to make them come true. You are good at multi-tasking - focusing on one thing at a time bores you. You have strong powers of perception and can be selective and discerning, balancing the pros and cons of any situation, then identifying the best way forward.
If you have chosen Path 3
You have a deep need to belong, to love and be loved, and to feel safe and secure. You need acceptance and acknowledgment for the everyday things you do for others - just a 'thank you' is sufficient. You are the mother figure of your friend group. You are always comforting and great at bringing people together. You are passive, which can be a bad thing when you let other people overshadow what you've worked hard to accomplish. Your thinking can become scattered at times, particularly when you try to accomplish too much at once. This can overtire you and you become emotionally out of balance.

You like to challenge the norm, but you also appreciate limits. You are a free-thinker who will change the world by questioning traditional standards along the way. With your optimistic and positive outlook on life, you see the good in everyone.

You can be self-centered, tuning in to your own needs to the exclusion of the needs of others.

You are genuine and sincere, and you take your responsibilities seriously.
If you have chosen Path 13
You've got a wild side, but an old soul. Someone who wants to travel the world, but ends up reading books on the beach for vacation instead of seeing the sights. You'll open up to just about anyone –– friends, strangers, doesn't really matter. You'll take on many lovers during your lifetime. You like to know exactly where you are going in life. You do not like surprises, and you make choices that ensure you deal with as few as possible. Your careful planning will ensure you lead the life you want.
If you have chosen Path 14
You have a mysterious, elusive soul. You're a hard worker, an entrepreneur, and the person everyone wants to be seen with. But don't let stardom or partying interfere with your goals. You guys tend to be kind of lonely. Although presenting a cool and calm exterior, and appearing to be stable and balanced, beneath the surface you may be in chaos, on an emotional roller coaster ride. You are self-sufficient, with good self esteem and ability to love and care for yourself. You are a clear thinker and good decision maker.
