Leading with the soul….. Forget everything you’ve ever been taught. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and listen. Listen to that quiet voice inside of you that is in fact the TRUE YOU. What does it say? What is it asking for? What does it need? If this is your first time listening to your soul, you may only hear the crickets chirping because maybe the voice is too foreign for you to recognize, or too quiet because it’s been shut out by the deafening sounds of the external world. ‘I’m not good enough yet.’ ‘This job is ok, but that job would be great!’ ‘Money, need more of it!’ ‘My friends/coworkers have it better/easier’ ‘My butt could be a little bit higher’ ‘Work hard now and I can rest when I die!’ Does any of this resonate with you? Yeah, me too.

The first time I heard my soul, it told me ‘there’s got to be more than this. You are more than this!’ And then I felt it scream out from the depths ‘WHY HAVE YOU NEGLECTED ME?!’ Oooh some powerful stuff.

The first time your soul breaks through the brick exterior you’ve spent so many years stacking up – it sounds quiet and weak. But the moment enough light pours into the darkness to fully awaken your spirit, it will come pouring out of you, strong, triumphant and defying not to be ignored anymore. Don’t believe me? Please, find out for yourself.

The moment you allow your soul to regain it’s proper place in your body is the moment that life as you know it is over. Everything you ever thought you wanted, everything you’ve ever worked for will be challenged and you’ll be forced to reevaluate the motivations that brought you to where you are today. And then, if you are like me, you will find that you’ve been leading your life by ego. Ouch. That hurts.

I can’t help but wonder what this world would be like if more people chose to lead their lives with soul. But fantasizing never got anyone anywhere! I don’t just want to wonder about it, I want to live it.

Leading your life with soul is a choice – a decision you have to make every morning. A decision to block out the deafening soul-killing voices and listen to the true voice, the voice that will lead you to love, passion and fulfillment. The voice that will lead you to life!

Today I chose to lead my life with soul… will you?
