Inspired Action

This past week I learned an important lesson about inspired action and holding the intention of strengthening my “feeling muscle” for what I love to do. As most of you know I am live in a fragmented world of marketing and healing. I spent time last week in my capacity as a market communication strategists working with the venture capital (VC) world (I am helping to organize a VC track for a technology conference in the Bay area). There I was at a conference surrounded by this interesting group of VCs and the service providers who hang around them. Most of VCs started as technologists in some form or another and became VCs after a startup success and also became extremely wealthy in the process.

It feels energetically like most of them don’t ever have to work again, but like to keep their hands in it, and gamble a little, through investing in a start up technology company.

What I realized is there are some on power trips and some that are just intellectually curious, those that need to be right and those that simply need to win more and garner more prestige. Most importantly, each one of these different attributes described aspects of myself. That every person I meet offers the opportunity to reveal to me what is inside of me.

So at the conference I am spending a large portion of my time looking at the person I was judging or appreciating and observing those same qualities within me. I did my Ho’oponopono work (thank you, I am sorry, I love you, please forgive me; http://thesecretofhooponopono.com/) and investigated how I was feeling. Wow it was powerful, I clearly saw times in my life were I was seeking power over, where I had to be right, where I pursued something simply for prestige (and not in service). I forgave myself for that previous behavior. I thanked the catalyst of these men for reminding me of the aspects of myself I didn’t really want to look at, and for providing me the opportunity to delve deeper.

Through that process I uncovered an even more important piece, what I love to do, what gives me passion and touches my heart and what is just fun. Those attributes I mentioned above (prestige, being right etc.) pointed out the reasons why I chose various jobs; they were in alignment with my beliefs and unconscious material at the time. I can clearly see the law of attraction in action… I created many moments to align with where I was at in that material. Now as I am reminded of those attributes through the people I meet, I can go back to that moment of unconsciousness and really look at it and see the “why” of who I was, and also see how far I have come and now see what inspires me most as I move forward in my life and work.

So my question to you is: who in you life can reflect back to you what you have been creating for yourself then do your Ho’oponopono. Also, what fills you up, what drives your passion. If you had a magic wand and could wipe it over you life what would you be doing and more importantly what would it feel like. What does it feel like in your body when you are doing what you love? Grow that feeling muscle so that each time you feel it you know you are on the right path.
