On Purpose

It has been two years since I received a massage from my favorite Shiatsu massage therapist, Charoen. It was father's day and I was feeling a little lonely since all my friends were busy celebrating their fathers. I decided to treat myself to the bliss of having your body touched in all the right places!

She was so happy to see me and I was so happy to see her. I was one of her best clients. I went regularly and really took good care of myself. I asked her to look at her chart and tell me the last time I was there---it was 2 years ago! She missed me and I missed her!

How could 2 years have passed without me getting a massage? It is really hard for me to wrap my head around that one. Then, the answer came.

She asked me what was going on in my body--what she needed to focus her attention on. When I went regularly, I always had something bothering me--my neck, my low back, my thigh...there was always an ache somewhere. This time, though, I said there was nothing bothering me--that I just wanted to enjoy one of her magical massages.

Then I told her what I'd been up to the last couple of years. Since I saw her last, I started my own business. My life came to life once I started living my purpose of helping and inspiring others. I went from dieing a slow death to coming back to life.

I don't believe in coincidences. When a person is happy, their body is happy. When a person's body is happy, they can do anything!

The other thing that happened in that 2 years is my body hasn't gotten sick! At first I tried looking for all the things I was eating--maybe something had a healing effect. Then I realized, I was happy and I was living on purpose.

Sometimes the secrets we search for are so simple, they're right there in front of us but we don't see them. Or, we think the answer has to be harder and much more complicated. Life is meant to be joyous. When we follow our hearts and go with the flow, true freedom is our reward!
