Читать книгу The Way of Nowhere: Eight Questions to Release Our Creative Potential - Nick Udall - Страница 20

The energy of rebirth and renewal is all around us, from the unfolding of a leaf to the birth of a star. It is also within us in our libido and in our urge to contribute to life through our families and our work. Yet what form should that contribution take?

On one level, as humans, we all have the same purpose: to develop and realize the infinite potential of consciousness. Yet we are all also particular manifestations of the creative life force and as such have unique contributions to make. Our task is to discern our uniqueness, use it as a source of creativity and then manifest it in the form of something new and innovative.

The essential ingredient is our unique purpose. In this context, purpose means the difference that we and only we can make.

The clues to our unique purpose are encoded in our life. Who we are and what we have done are not accidents. We can use the tremendous power of our analytical minds to remember the path we have walked and to extract from it the initial insights of our uniqueness. Then, having armed ourselves with our yearning to connect, we need to shift our consciousness and create a space for inspiration to arise. We need to ask the stars what they want of us.
