Purpose – Philip Dodson

Why is the obstacle the path?

Whatever we fear the most in life is what we should be doing. It is our guide to what the moment wants us to do.

We never fear anything that we do not care about.

We are all part of the one life, the universe and we are a multiple part of that universal consciousness. If the path was easy there would be no experience to be gained. The universe wants to experience itself in as many forms as possible, in fact, it is limitless.

Therefore, beyond our primary purpose to just be and to simply be a being, our secondary purpose is to take our unique gift and give it to the world. That will mean overcoming obstacles and the bigger the obstacle the more likely our purpose is beyond that and we are on the right path to fulfilling that purpose.

Of course, as all forms are temporary, our secondary purpose will change constantly and new obstacles will block the path. Our primary purpose to just be is permanent like this now moment.

So whatever obstacle you are hiding from, fearing, avoiding, running away from…turn round and tackle it. It is a courageous person who chooses to challenge their biggest obstacles and it will, like all things, take one step at a time.

Without obstacles in our path there is no purpose.

We have to take that first step now.

Rebuilding habits.

Here I am, doing my blog…three days in a row now!!

So what!!

Well, I blogged every single day for 6+ years and then lost the habit.

I’m trying to start it again. Habits are like driving your car. All the effort and fuel is used getting the car from a standstill to a steady speed. Once you reach a steady speed, especially on the open road, then the momentum carries the car along without the need for too much more fuel and energy.

It’s the same with any habit, getting started and building momentum is the hard part.

It’s doubly hard when you stop something after so long to get that started again.

You feel like you have been there and done it.

There is something for me to learn here. Try, if possible, to not stop a good thing once you have it going.

Of course, there are times when we need a break from our routines, some time to freshen up and come back with more energy. That’s what I needed.

However, the longer we leave something, the harder it is to restart. As the amount thinking time increases so does the level of inertia.

Let’s see how it goes…3 days is a start. So I am happy.
