My Meditation Challenge

"If I focus on one thing, what could I be like in a year? What could my whole life look like?"

 

Recently I received an email newsletter that may just change my life. The question above was about finding your life's purpose and I realized that my lack of success in finding my own purpose is that I don't really know what I want to focus on in first place.

Do you know what you want out of life? Have you discovered your life's purpose and passion?If you have, then you are probably a very happy person. If you don't know your life's purpose but you are searching for it, then maybe you're like me, trying different programs, reading books and blogs, looking for advice to help you discover your life's purpose.

 

If you're familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that the key steps to attracting what you want in life is are:

1.  Decide what you want- state your intention to have it.

2.  Focus on what you want as if you already have it in your life.

3.  Let go, taking inspired action and watch what you want manifest in your life.

Of course there are many other steps you can add, such as being grateful for what you already have, acting on the "inspired action" part of the equation and remaining joyful throughout the process because joy attracts more joy. While doing these things, you don't ask how this will come about, you only know it will.

When I read that question, "If I focus on one thing, what could I be like in a year? What could my whole life look like?" I realized that my issue was that I didn't know what I could focus on that would make a big difference in my life.

 

As I asked myself that question, I got an inspiration. Rather than work on making more money or losing weight (who hasn't had those goals off and on most of their lives), I would focus on making a change in the person I want to be inside. Meditation was the answer.

So I am challenging myself to meditate every day for the next year, beginning with 15 minutes a day. I am entering this challenge with no expectations, and I'll try to be open to whatever happens and wherever this journey takes me.

I'd love to have some company on my journey. Would you like to take the challenge to meditate every day for a year? Perhaps you'd like to focus on something different. The life-changing idea is just to take the challenge at all. If you have any hopes, dreams, ideas, successes or failures, share your thoughts here.
