YOUR LINK TO THE MEANING OF LIFE




So… is this what you are looking for?  

Are you nodding?  Do not worry; your secret is safe with me… even though it is not really a secret.

Did you know that everyone else who has landed right here is also looking for the same thing?

Take comfort in that, smile, treat yourself to something delicious and take a deep breath because today, you are on the pathway to understanding what life is all about.

What?  YES, it is true.

How can that be?

You ask the question, well knowing your life has been on this quest.

This quest has kept you up many nights, hasn’t it?

Sometimes, you have had to make the conscious decision to not be so deep, because you know you will agonize in your search for the answers, analyze life for the meaning all to figure out what the real answer is to the question.

Sometimes you try to distract yourself… you get busy, at times too busy with an overloaded super-uber-packed schedule to avoid having ample time to think about the answer to the question.

Other times you distract yourself with silly nonsense, lighter stuff, entertainment and whittle your time away so that you do not have to think about the quest.

Then there are early mornings, late nights or stormy days or an even a longer than normal waiting window for the cable technician or doctor or delayed airline connection where the Universe provides time where there is nothing to do but think about your quest once again.
Let me ask you… what is it that you think you will find? 

How will you know when your quest is over? 

Where do you think you will find the answer? 

Have you thought about it? 

Do you think that there will be some magic confetti and fanfare for when this moment arrives?  

Humans take on this quest believing that this ‘scavenger hunt’ of life is something they will find, something they will SEE.

However, the truth is the meaning of life is something you do not just see, you KNOW.
In other words, the meaning is something which is “realized” and “actualized” in the self-discovery process of understanding what matters to you in your mind, your heart, your soul, and in the core of your being.  

When you get here, the search is both over and it has just begun simultaneously. 

While this may seem strange at first, you begin to understand that the meaning expands into your taking steps on the pathway to be authentic, and expand more than just a mere shell of yourself.

It is here you then realize you have been searching ‘out there’ when the real journey is in the inside, ‘in here’ where instead you have gone on this quest.

If you take a deep breath and STOP spinning for just a second, you will see as you read all of the above, THIS is what you have made your life to be and because this matters to you, the quest itself becomes the definition, because the journey is here and now, and so is the destination.


So let me ask you this now… what is your answer to your meaning of life?

How are you connected?  

What is the LINK within you that defines and sums it all up for you? 

Where do you discover the best parts of life?

When do you see it, or better… feel it? 

Do you trust in it?  Do you have faith in it?  Or do you merely have daily hope for it? 

Whatever your answer is, this is how you LINK to it… otherwise you would not be able to answer the question.  Thus, it goes back to what I have pointed out above, YOU KNOW. 

What you choose to do with what you know within is how you create the journey that has meaning. When you adhere to the meaning of what matters, it is here you will find all of your answers.  If things have meaning to you beyond the ideas themselves, it’s something you keep within you and carry with your human so that your soul can see much more than what is on the surface of what seems important.

When this happens, you soon realize that the daily quest is not about searching anymore to find the meaning of life, but to redefine it and refine it at the same time in discovery and rediscovery. This is what makes up the pathway of your human existence to carry out what it is your soul already knows, which intrinsically means application of what it knows to be true for you in your definition. 

Your character and your values matter in the big picture of who you are, how you show up, how you choose to create your meaning of life. 

Not everyone’s are the same for reason and purpose, because sometimes the quest itself is about overcoming obstacles in order to discover in the process.  

For those who have things intact, sometimes it is about having them tested and even shattered by perception in order for change to take place.   

For others, it is about understanding what is already there generationally, socioeconomically, and culturally, through the trials and tribulations of a family’s adversity.   

Moreover, for others it is about having it all and losing it all or having nothing and gaining wisdom or facing odds and not giving up. 

And yes, for others still, there is a much bigger picture of community, humanity which resides in the meaning of what matters most. Each human has a way to connect this particular LINK to all of the above, and know that every action matters no matter who you are and what you apply to your own meaning.  It all matters when it has the potential to change who you are and change another's life for the better.

This journey we call life has its own meaning for each of us.  What your LINK is in definition to your own meaning is as unique as you are.  When we see the common ground patterns of your journey it is here, you have ultimately discovered your destiny.

YOUR LINK OF TRUST




Questions… everyone has them. 

Sometimes questions swirl around randomly.  Other times, there are questions, which are constant. 

Which questions am I talking about, you ask?  The questions of “why?” and “when?” 

No matter where you are in your life, you have asked yourself these questions…  
 “WHY things happen as they do,” and “WHEN will things change/be different than from how they are now?” 

From the time you were a very young child first learning to speak, you asked these questions.  If you were very inquisitive, “why?” was a repetitive question.  If you were impatient, “when?” was your default. 

As you got older, these same questions took a different turn from plain curiosity, to becoming the ‘need to know.’ 

As your brain developed, you could become more resourceful, providing a self-reliance survival mode of ‘getting the answers’ at will, if you chose.  You could read books, do research and figure out the answers to the questions, even daring to venture in to the territory of “how” and “where” in addition to the “why” and “when.” 

Over time, you catalogued files of information in your brain.  Life seemed to be a series of questions and answers.  You might have felt as if you were becoming the master of knowing how to get an answer to almost every question you had.  Perhaps you even thrived upon the challenge to seek out the answers and this is what your life evolved into becoming. 

You may have seemed unstoppable as you would freestyle your way through life’s questions and nothing seemed impossible to answer.  As you got older into adulthood, you may have fallen back on your tried-and-true experience of knowing, realizing that everything happened for a reason and although you hated that clichĂ©’ you came to accept this was so.

One day, you may have come across a time when you did not have the answers.  You were stuck, stumped, perplexed, plagued with wondering why the answers were not in your grasp anymore and you had deeper questions, which it seemed no one could answer.

Your only question now was…”What happened?” 

Even now, as you read these words, which I just typed, maybe you do not have the answer to this question.  

Rest assured…there is an answer. 

It is not an accident you stumbled upon your Q/A blockage… this too, is for purpose.  It is LINKED to several things in your life chain. 

Humans often become frustrated when the ‘flow’ of status quo stops and this is where most people begin wondering how they can ‘fix’ whatever it is that is preventing them from getting the answers they need/want. 

If you are a control freak and like to ‘know,’ quite often this is not a comfortable place for you, but trust that this is for purpose and reason also.

Why is this happening? 

It is so you can develop and refine your own relationship with TRUST. 

Ah… yes, TRUST.  THE LINK OF TRUST is a very complicated LINK.  

Do you have trust issues?

First let us understand, TRUST from a video I did a few years back.


Okay, now that we have a foundation for comprehending trust, let us talk about it. 


  • ·         When did you first learn about trust growing up and when was it first violated?

  • ·         How did you overcome your first disappointment after trust was broken?

  • ·         What did you learn about yourself? 


As we look at trust, and what it means to how we look at life, we begin to understand our own processing of trust, as well as our own boundaries and parameters for measurement.

In the video when I talk about how trust begins with you and trusting yourself, when we go back to the idea of questions of “why” and “when,” you can see how when you have “self-doubt” – you are really questioning your own trust.

If we trust in ourselves, with self-confidence to move forward and in the Universe for our highest/greatest good, we can have assurance in the trust we have for the answers to ‘why’ and ‘when’ to any problem, life challenge or dilemma.

We do not have to subscribe to the idea that we have ‘no answers’ – rather we just need to ask ourselves new questions.

It is in asking new questions we realize where we are at any crossroads of confusion and we can regain our trusted footing on our own pathway to overcome obstacles to come up with answers.

If the answers do not come right away, we can surrender our trust to the ‘unknown’ instead of putting self-imposed pressure to figure everything out right now. 

Suddenly within this, we have a solution and do not have to feel the anxiety about not having answers.

Here we can also take a step back to gain greater perspective. 

What else is the Universe trying to teach you? 





These are all part of the entire TRUST process.  These FOUR LINKS are not only LINKED to trust, but they have their place in rebuilding it, refining it, and having a deeper relationship with our idea of what trust is in who we are and how we view it.

When we have the patience with ourselves in letting go of control, and overcome our link of doubt to step into our truth, we are able to trust again with our consciousness shift in what we need to do to trust completely in the journey of our life as it unfolds.

In the meantime, know that the answers you seek are within your grasp in due time.  
The real LINK of TRUST resides in  your heart when you gain comfort in your truth and are honest with yourself in what you truly need right now to live in the present. 

Namaste.

YOUR LINK TO STAYING THE COURSE




YOUR LINK TO STAYING THE COURSE
By Stacey Kumagai

Dedicated to all of the Lovely Souls who are out there working toward their dreams…

Do you have dreams that are bigger than you?
Is your heart in that dream?  Will you see it through?
How do you LINK to staying the course?
As your road twists and turns, with significant force?
You know you have got this, it’s something you feel.
Though there are days I know you question, for real.
You think “How long can I do this? How can I keep going?”
And I will tell you Dear Soul, it’s because of your “all-knowing.”
You believe from your heart, you dig deep from your soul,
You see in your mind your serious #LifeGoals.
It’s more than just work, it’s beyond just passion,
It expands from your love, from here you take action.
You believe, so believe in what you can do,
The core of your truth, resonates through.
Beyond all limits, yes reach toward that sky…
Say, “World, if you can - oh yes …so can I.”
Together we’ll rock this, as we stay the course,
traveling the pathway with fuel from our source.
Stay determined, keep going, trust in all that you do –
Because there is no one on Earth, who is exactly like you.
LINK to what matters with all that comes from your heart,
It is here creativity is born, and then becomes art.
Be free, be you, express all you can share,
Knowing that you make a difference, so please stay aware.
Giving your energy as only you can do –
Is what makes you special, to see this LINK through.
So as you stay the course, committed with grace,
You make the world smile and a much better place.
As you dare to dream, as you care to see,
You’ll begin to notice your Linkronicity.
I’ll be right here, supporting you all the way,
With more than just words I blog, rhyme, or display.
You’ll see that I SEE YOU … and yes, it is true,
My heart’s sincere when I say, I believe in YOU.

Namaste,
