When I'm not "doing" and I get down, i.e. I'm not looking after myself, I can still observe what's going on and it invariably gets me moving again. It brings me back to what I know in my heart is what I love to do and how I want to be in body, mind and spirit; and over time, there's come to be less of sitting unhappily and more of doing victoriously. It's an on-going journey evolving upwards into something else, then something else, something else.... time to get of my toosh now and get moving. :) We all need Community and that’s why I love Karen’s on-line program so much.

I haven't been that good at doing as I'm told either (just ask my husband)...Hahaha!... but you know, I would be doing my two sons and daughter a disservice if I did! I have taught all of them that they can be whatever they want to be, just be prepared to commit, do the work and you will reap the benefits. I've advised them to question everything, because you can't believe everything you hear. Life is all about choices and if we make some that aren't the best, we can choose to be grateful for the lesson and do even better the next chance we get! We need to listen to our inner selves and trust in that innate wisdom. I've proven to them that it is NEVER too late to throw yourself into something you are passionate about (for me it was becoming a Registered Massage Therapist at 51, after 3 years of full-time college), even if there are detractors out there. If someone has a problem with what you're choosing to do, that's THEIR problem! To me, a rebellious life is a fulfilled, exciting life... one not to be missed, no matter who tells you to! You are truly an inspiration, my girl and I thank you! : ) Blessings, Lois Terrific post Karen!

I, too, have this rebellious mentality. Some say I have a problem with authority. I say "No, I have a problem with stupidity!" I just don't get along with people who want to "tow the company line", so to speak. Like you, the 9-5 thing just hasn't worked out in my life, so I find other ways of doing it. But one thing is constant, working out. The low points in my life were when I WASN'T working out consistently. Hummmm, something to think about. As always, you ROCK my friend! Karen, awesome post!

I would agree that it's not a simple process finding your life's purpose...after all, it's YOUR LIFE! It's shouldn't be a simple thing to find. BUT, and I'm still searching for mine, when people like you say that it's out there, this gives me hope that one day I'll find mine as well! You Rock Karen! Keep up the great work!
