Bringing fire into our lives

Posted on by philipdodson

When I m coaching and starting out on a journey with someone, I always get them to look first at what they love to do and what brings them joy. It should be the bedrock of our lives, our roots that ground us and allow us to dance in the wind and be flexible yet resilient.

The world knows when there is a fire within us or not. The world knows when our eyes are tired and when we are lacking a fizz, when the fire has gone out. 

Our soul is always a burning fire, however, over time it gets smothered by our minds, thoughts, and fears. We allow ourselves to become them instead of allowing our true essence to shine.

In order to relight the fire and show our true selves to the world and spread our light, we have to go back to our hearts and start to do the things that bring us joy.

I get them to take a large piece of paper and write down all the things that they love and bring them joy. This is where we get our why power from. When the fire is going out we struggle on by using our willpower, which the mind believes is all we need to be strong and tough. However, the batteries in the willpower run out and they run out very quickly when we are not connected with our hearts and our why power.

Why we do what we do is the hardest thing to answer if we are not connected to what we love and if we are not doing what we love, the fire will not be there and the world will see it,

The world is a reflection of us as we continually create what we put out, we manifest our reality. If there is a fire in our eyes and our soul is shining bright, we will attract what we give out. If there is no passion in our hearts and the fire is hidden then we will struggle to attract what we want.

Life is a short journey, let us live it from our hearts and give our fire and light to the world.

Quitting isn’t the answer

If we are sitting here on a Sunday afternoon dreading tomorrow and a return to our work, instead of enjoying the moment, the view, the chilling and time to contemplate, then maybe it is time to make a change.

Change does not have to be quitting your job, it might be seeing our jobs and life through a new lens, one that sees what is rather than looking for what our minds want to see and believe about them.

Our reality is uniquely ours as we create it in our thought and beliefs, so how I see the world will be completely different to every single one of the other 8 billion humans.

If I dread Monday, not only do I numb myself to now, my real life, I create anxiety within me and when Monday does come, I do not enjoy it and wish I was elsewhere.

Quitting something however does not solve the problem as whatever is or was troubling us is our internal state which then manifests the external world, so unless we change the internal state, nothing will change from changing jobs, cars, houses, partners, clothes whatever else.

When we accept what is, when we become present in this moment, we can then react from a place of calm and peace, we can change how we choose to see the world and if we believe that the world is what we want to be then we can change how we see all things. That means that we can still quit our jobs if they are not nourishing our souls and if they are not what we truly want to be doing from our heart and soul.

Quitting isn’t the answer…learning our why and doing things from our heart is.
