If you are familiar with the song "Kumbaya" I am sure it is easy to picture a group of people gathered around a campfire singing in perfect harmony. It's an image of peace and tranquility, but perhaps for some it's a silly thing that they wouldn't be caught dead doing.
To me, the word kumbaya reminds me of peace, tranquility, love, unity, serenity...
We are all born with our unique personalities, however I believe strongly that many of our habits are learned behaviors. Being quick to anger, holding a grudge, hate, jealousy, stubbornness these are all learned behaviors. I am certain that we are born with a pure heart and each of us is gifted and assigned a purpose however, circumstances allow us to mold into our environment and forget who we REALLY are.
Ever had that feeling that "you should have..." I should have allowed that person in front of me, I should have washed the dishes, I should have stopped and helped the person on the side of the road, I should have stood up for my friend, I should have taken the time to listen... That "should have" feeling is YOU, your inner self. Some might call it conscious or subconscious.
Consider this, if you were to follow your "should haves" what is the worst that could happen? Now what is the best that could happen? Perhaps that you would feel GREAT about yourself? Why do you think you get that sense of accomplishment when you complete a task or project? What about when you do something good for others? It's because you were true to your heart (to your inner self) you followed your "should have" feeling.
There is a fire inside of you just waiting to come out. This fire will allow for anything and everything that you dream, wish and desire and listening to your "should have" is the first step to transforming your life. It doesn't mean that you have to become an overnight "kumbaya" sensation I'm just asking you to give your inner self a chance to express itself. The marvelous thing about this is that YOU already have the answers! All you need to do is tune in to your inner self and accept what your heart is tasking you with. That my friends, is going to lead you directly to your destiny, your purpose.
