    @Yoremo I think you can't just wait until you find the thing that inspires you all the time because you won't find it. You do need to find something that inspires you and ignites passion in you yes, but that inspiration and passion will not sustain itself just by itself. The passion and inspiration has to be fueled and one big way to fuel it, is to develop more mastery in the area and make other peoples lifes better with that mastery by sharing the thing. That's one way...

    Others ways to gain inspiration and passion IME? Nature, climbing a mountain, exercise and movement, beauty, love, other inspiring human beings, a good movie, a good video game, travel, camping, people watching while on a street corner drinking tea. Retreats.

    So the question isn't: How do I find what I am passionate about?

    The better questions are: What inspires me?  What inspires me about the way other people live their lives? What could I do to bring more inspiration into my life? Is this something I can see my self doing for a living and devoting my Self too? Does this feel like it could be a calling from my higher nature? If so... how can I sustain passion and inspiration over the long term in this endeavor and in my life in general?

    Maybe that makes more sense. If not, just ignore me brother and trust your Self.

    Inspiration and passion comes from Silence.

    Namaste

    Musings on Resistance: 

    If you could hold resistance in your hands and ask it why it is here what would it say? I am here to guide you. I am here to show you the way. I am here to raise you up. 

    Why does God not just guide me, why is there resistance with a message of guidance? Because there are two sides, your lowest nature, your highest nature. Your evolutionary nature, your spiritual nature. Resistance comes as resistance on the lower plane and it comes with a higher message from the higher plane.

    It comes as ONE thing. These natures of you are ONE.

    "I don't want to do it" "it will be painful and boring and hard." These are from the lower nature.  They don't come from silence. 

    The silent whispers of 'this is what you have to do' ' this is good for you.' these are from the highest nature. Silence speaks this.

    If you could could hold resistance in your hands and ask it a question, what would you ask ? Listen to the silence for the answer.

    Namaste.

    I've done group tarot readings, followed by intuitve drawings, followed by group discussions about the individual problems we are facing. When we pulled the tarot card we were asked to think of a question or problem we were trying to resolve and find clarity around. The whole process was very healing and transformative. It wasn't so much like your future was being read, it was more just a tool to deepen awareness and ignite some imagination and creativity in the exploration of your inner Self and to share that experience with others. We were conciously practicing NVC at the time too.

    It wouldn't have really mattered what card you pulled, you would interpetate it for your Self in the way to investigate your Self. Then again, maybe the Universe will give you the exact card you need, which by divine perfection, will always be the case anyway, so... right on baby. Right on.

    Just don't get too obsessed about it all.

    I can not answer this question because it's the wrong question.

    The question should be: how do I stop seeing resistance as a problem?

     

    I'll share some wisdom with you: resistance correlates with importance.

    Therefore, you can use it for your own good: simply do what you are most resistant to, first, because that's usually the most important.

    Everything is here to help you.

    Including resistance.

    Next time you feel resistance, thank it for showing you what you really need to do, and get going.

    The alternative is to be a victim of resistance, viewing it as a problem, avoiding it, and let it defeat you.

    That's the start of a dark path of life long procrastination, mediocrity and mental suffering, my guess is you wouldn't be on this forum if that's what you wanted.

    The shadow.

    It seems one can not fully actualize their highest Self without going back to integrate the past. The traumas of the past are like sandbags on a hot air balloon. Once you listen, the bags can be unhooked and the balloon can gracefully ascend to its highest potential. 

    6 weeks mindful support group and 7 months of coaching coming where I will investigate my past.

    May also check out Jordan Petersons Self authoring program, heard good things. 

    Step back to step forward.

    Raise the vibration.

    What happened to the good old days when taking the red pill meant stepping out of the matrix? Feminism didn't stop Neo banging Trinity. Ahh the good ol days.

    Red pills don't mean shit anymore. Pitty.

    I was stuck dabbling with conciousness work for years. It has it benefits. It also helps to just gain the big picture by being very broad intiatially in your Self actualization. Eventually I reached a point where I knew I needed to focus and get concrete results, so I hired a life coach. It's been life changing. He really got me 'un-stuck', i've never had such clarity and focus with my Self actualization as I do now. He wasn't too expensive either. I see him every month or two.

    It becomes increasingly clear in my experience that life is inherently counter intutive and paradoxical, therefore contemplating the counter intuitiveness of your life situations would help you understand reality better, which will allow you take better action, which will lead to better results, which will create success. So yeah, seems it would be worthwhile. I had this experience recently, I finally figured out the solution to a problem and the solution was a counter intuitive move that I failed to see or understand, I wish I had tried to discover and wrap my mind around the counter intuitive move much earlier, would have saved a lot of struggle, wasted time and energy.

    So why would I believe something which there's no evidence for?

    @Blackhawk

    He provided you with his perspective on the benefits of being introverted but because you are looking to simply defend your worldview and stay stuck in your limited thinking patterns and not actually seek to understand other peoples perspectives (even though deep down you want to becuase this issue is cuasing you suffering), you are demanding scientific evidence which I think is LOL.

    First time i've seen someone demanding scientific evidence from somebody to back up their opinion on the forum which is kind of funny.

    I don't think there's any benefits with it. It's all just downsides. (I'm a introvert.)

    Where is your scientific evidence that there are no advantages to being introverted?

    You're just trying to defend those limiting subconcious beliefs you have about introverts and ultimatley about yourself. Bust em baby!
