If you have not sorted out your priorities and don’t know what your life mission is, it is easy to get sidetracked and allow this outside energy to define you and what you believe you should have.
You try to solve the problem in ways that don’t work and often make the problem worse. You keep trying to get enough of something to make you happy, but it does not help, because is not what you really need. (Knowing your life mission guides you to choose what you need to fulfil it.)
Collections
One common way to try to fill the void is to collect tangible things. Some people collect tools they never use. Others collect books they intend to read, but don’t. Some collect kitchen gadgets, and some collect shoes.
Laurie: Among the many things that I have collected over the years are coin proof sets.
Every year when the new coins became available, I would automatically order three new sets—one for me and one for each of my children. I would then put them into a drawer and forget about them until it was time to order the next sets.
Listening to a recording that challenged the purpose of collections finally brought me to my senses.
What are you collecting and buying automatically that you don’t use or enjoy? It may be useful to notice what outside energy influenced you to start your collection and whether using the Logosynthesis sentences would help you let them go.
You may try to fill the void with activity like entertainment that does nothing but distract you. You may mindlessly watch whatever electronic screen is available and then be too busy or tired to learn the information or do the real work of creating the financial stability or wealth you dream about.
You may even choose to numb yourself with alcohol or drugs, hoping you won’t notice the pain of this void.
And all the while, you are carrying out the script for the life story you created when you were a child about how your life was going to develop.
The Way Out
As you try to learn to navigate the world it is natural to lose your connection to your Self. However, if you are lucky enough to notice this void, you can start your search to reclaim these connections as an adult. You probably don’t know that this is what you are doing. You just know that, somehow, you aren’t satisfied and are searching for something else.
That something, at its core, is your true Self, your connection to Essence and your own mission, the work you were meant to do in this world.
The more closely you approach these objectives, the more likely you will be to experience the abundance you are searching for. Following the suggestions in this book is part of your journey.
It is much easier to set priorities when you use this guideline. Will choosing this over something else move me closer to my mission in the world?
