It is no secret that Louise Hay has touched so many people in countless and unlimited ways. She never embarked on her life's path with that notion either. All she did was carry her own light and shine it on her own path. The thing about light is that when you carry it high then other people are drawn to it so that they can see, too. A light carried is like a wave in the ocean that begins the ripple effect that reshapes earth.
A few of Louise Hay's affirmations are below. Those particular affirmations resonated with me today, because I am caught inside an existential crisis of my own. I feel this way because I am uneasy in my current life; I feel as though the momentum is off-kilter. I observe my co-workers and they all seem comfortable with the job and company. So why don't I feel comfortable like them? I then see that they are robotic in their routine because they are living their lives unaware; they are unaware of their own purpose, so they continue at the same mindless job because they don't know anything else. They do not seem frustrated with the job because their soul is still asleep. They are not aligned with their true life's path - yet.
There are also other people who begin at those same "dead-end" jobs who exhibit irritability and frustration; they display such emotion because they are awakened to their path and purpose, but need to work at a job for the paycheck. I have fallen into that category countless times. I don't have a daddy or a husband to fall back on for support. I rely on my paycheck each week while trying to stay strong and hopeful that my life's purpose takes flight. So I continue to meditate, write, dance, do my sun salutations, but then I also shed my anger, hostility, and irritability. My anger doesn't last long, but it is a dark side of me that comes out because all I want is for my purpose to be supported and seen and acknowledged. The anger is only a symptom of my unacknowledged talents and purpose. I learned over the years that I have to continue dancing, with or without the music; if I fall or trip then I have to brush myself off and continue the dance.
Regardless of whether we are working at a job that doesn't fit who we are, we have to remember that it is NOT permanent and it is only something that we have to do until we can bring that purpose into fruition. NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERMANENT; everything in life, including ourselves, is IMPERMANENT.
Remember that LOUISE HAY started on her life's purpose at the age of 57! Laura Ingalls Wilder didn't get her first book (from her series) published until she was 65! Julia Child didn't even enroll in culinary school until she was 37!
Our life's purpose is OUR PURPOSE and it will happen. That is the thing about the human ego is that it always wants everything NOW, but the spiritual side KNOWS it will be achieved in time and requires patience. The ego is NOT patient and that is where the irritability stems from. The ego is like a bratty kid; we must put that impetuous bratty "child" at bay...and KEEP THE FAITH.

- "Today is the future I create for myself."
- "Every decision I make is RIGHT for me."
- "Everything in my life works for ME."
- "This is a new day, I begin anew and claim and create all that is good."
