This prayer sheds some help and guidance for finding the clues that will help you to discover your purpose or deeper passions in life. These simple yet effective tools can help you find traces in your life, that were overlooked before.
I wrote this as I reflected on my life, some 10 years back. I remember I was sitting in a mega church, writing down answers to a long list in a form, which was to be submitted as my last step for joining the leadership team. In a room full of people, I realized in an instant, that I was in the wrong place. I kept looking for someone to tell me what I deep down, already knew. I knew, but I had not yet believed, until that moment. From that day on, I began to start a journey, where I would discover my intuition, and that it would help me gather the clues, that would give me the guidance and direction, that I had been seeking for so long. I met many people, and yet no one really seemed to understand intuition. The best I can describe it, is that when a flower blooms, the pedals grow around the flower, and a cocoon of sorts is formed. This cocoon does not represent what is growing inside the flower. It is a shell that protects and secures, that which is inside. I feel that what I had done for most of my early life, was to dream about that cocoon, and what it was, and I kept thinking, this thing this shell, is that what I am? It was unclear to me the steps to follow to bloom that cocoon, and that what I was, was inside that cocoon. Until it opened up, until I could see inside, my life was hidden, it was a mystery. Nothing came together, noting fit that I could see. When the cocoon opened, then I could see how things fit together, how things in my life, the most subtle things sometimes, how they had played a part, and shaped me in a certain way, and I could see that, how it worked. So what I am saying, is that if you don’t know who you are, that is ok. The shell might not be opened yet, do not lose sleep over that. To get the shell to open, you have to go through a process of self-awareness and learning to lean on your intuition, or inner voice. Those things help open the shell.
