Guidance From Yusef: Finding the Path

In the previous post Yusef tells us to “sync” our actions and thoughts with our purpose on the Earth.  But how do we know what our purpose is?

We’re told not to actively try to find our purpose. Unknown “To seek the purpose for your life involves the ego and that can actually have a counter-effect”.  We may get derailed by that.  Yusef also says that any step we take becomes the right step.  What…no right or wrong?  (Guidance From Yusef: Finding Our Purpose)

So let’s review…we’re to “sync” our actions and choices to a plan/path we can’t yet see, and even though it’s important to do that, there are no right or wrong paths to take.  Yikes!  An enigma of the Universe.

Why can’t we just see a heavenly light shining on the best path, or get a ‘way-to-go’ for the actions we take? Perhaps a high-five now and then for a decision or choice so we know we’re on the path and following our plan.  Ah, how easy life would be then. All nicely laid out in black and white, or perhaps wild Technicolor….

Too bad the Universe doesn’t work that way.  We have been given free will to do whatever we choose to do on this Earth (actually in the Heavens as well, but that’s another day). (Guidance From Yusef: Our Purpose and Free Will)

The secret then is this—when we align our actions to our internal compass and act according to the beliefs, values and principles that we hold at the core of our being—it is then that we find PEACE within ourselves.  That peace lights up the path for our lives. Then what we are doing comes from what we know to be true and we are not betraying our own inner guidance.  It is to be in a FLOW of sorts, moving to an internal rhythm and compass.  That sense of peace and the feeling of being in the flow are the signs that we are on the Path, following the Plan for our lives.

Don’t misunderstand or think that peace of body, mind, and spirit is necessarily found on the easy path.  Quite the contrary, it is often in the demanding or challenging situations and jobs that we find the most peace and sense of fulfillment.

How do we recognize peace?  It requires a “tuning in”.  It means moving out of the  busyness of the body and mind to get into a quiet space for just a moment to be able to sense it.  I remember going to sit in the quiet beside the ocean once to find the peaceful path before making a big decision in my life.  Another way is to check in with the body.  The body doesn’t lie, and it will let us know if we are in sync.  If there is a discomfort somewhere within, often in the gut, that can be trusted and then we can make the necessary adjustments in our life. (Not always easy to do, but well worth it!)

Remember, we’ve already planned our life circumstances in order to fulfill our purpose. (Guidance From Yusef: Purpose for Our Lives) We just need to be where we are right now, tuned in to our inner guidance for the way that brings the most peace. That will absolutely be the “right” path.

  1. So well written and SO true. Even difficult changes in my life have brought peace – even in the midst of the difficulty. A good reminder to tune in to that inner gut feeling, because our souls know, deep down, what is the ‘right’ path to take. Difficult to remember to take that time when life is so busy. Thank you!

    • Julie you’ve hit on a deep truth. Our souls do know the ‘right’ path to take. Getting in the quiet and listening to the soul beyond the din of our regular lives is difficult as you said…but well worth it! Great insight!

  2. This is such a great post! There have been times in my life that I have felt this sense of flow. Even though I would doubt myself at times because I was doing something I never imagined I would be doing (earning my PhD), I still knew I should continue because I felt good, I felt alive, it felt right, and things were in sync. So I guess that is how we know we are following our purpose! Very neat.

    • I love the phrase “I felt alive” in your comment, Susie. That is absolutely another indicator that one is on the soul’s path. Whenever I can say that an activity, or an encounter with a person is just “life-giving” I know I’m in the best place I can be. Those times when there is an inner excitement and sense that all is well. As my brother says in describing those moments, “I just feel complete.”
