I don’t understand
Go about my day
Do what I must
Yet I feel this way

Looks good from the outside
All things in flow
But that feeling of longing
Continues to grow

A space so dark
No light can pass
A feeling so empty
Critical mass

I’ve done all the work
Can’t turn dark into day
I just don’t understand
How it can be this way

A secret passage
Perhaps a trap door
Restless feelings
Too big to ignore

A Light if there was one
Would shine on the place
Beg for forgiveness
God’s beautiful grace

Hands come together
Majestic prayer
Please show me the way
Before I don’t care

My heart is defined
By faith and by might
Searching for hope
Light up this dark night

Walk in the stillness
One step to be free
Follow the calling
I can’t not be me!

Ah! That feeling. You view your life from the outside, and everything looks great. But there’s this space inside you that cries with longing.

If you’re anything like me, you end up putting yourself down, “What’s wrong with you? Your life is so good, so why do you feel this way?”

What if you decided NOT to do that? Instead of ridiculing yourself for a feeling that comes from deep within, what if you stopped in your tracks and listened to that longing?

I truly believe that our soul talks to us. The key is to “hear” what it is saying. Consider this: instead of believing your discontent stems from selfishness, what if that deep yearning, that feeling of void, signals your spirit urging you toward your true path?

There is something more for you; something you came here to do. When you have these feelings, it is your soul telling you that you’re not doing it.

I believe our purpose is a sacred contract that we sign when we come into this world. It’s the reason we are here. We are fully equipped with all that we need to step into this life. And when we go off course and we are not walking in this purpose, the only way our soul can speak to us is by magnifying the emptiness that is created when we abandon it.

My question to you is: why not listen to this longing, this empty feeling, and explore what you are NOT DOING? Forget about the negative self-judgment and listen to your soul.

In my experience, the soul is never wrong! It knows exactly what you should do, what you came here to do. If it is talking to you, that is because you are not walking your path in your purpose. You have settled for a different life, possibly a good one. But nothing compares to walking in your purpose, using your gifts, and living in complete harmony with the contract you signed.

My wish for you all is that you remember who you were before the world taught you to doubt yourself—and have the courage to become that person again.

Blessitude!
