9 Steps to Create a Life of Peace and Purpose
This is a guest article from Saiisha._____________________When I first began to engage with my soul years ago, I had no direction, no steps to follow, no goal to achieve. All I felt was an inner-knowing that this earthly life had to be more than what it seemed on the surface.Indeed I had only lived on the surface, and my life had subtly sunk into the mundane — waking up to an alarm; rushing to shower; going to work; coming home to plop in front of the TV; taking ‘vacations’ only to come back even more exhausted.Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Years of life passed by aimlessly, going with someone else’s flow, walking everyone else’s paths.But when I turned 36, there was a pull from the unknown.
