THE REST YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON: PDL INSIGHTS (PART 8)
THE REST YOU ARE
MISSING OUT ON: PURPOSE DRIVEN INSIGHTS (PDL) INSIGHTS (PART 8)
In the previous discussions we have come to understand your purpose as a role that allows you to
express your inner values (authentic inner voice) doing the things that you are
good at (using gifts, skills and talents) and what you love to do and are passionate
about and also getting paid for it.
The moment you discover your purpose is the moment that you stop
'working' and start 'living' – Coach Tarie: Wisdom Garden
The last 3 discussions covered three clusters at the
intersection of which is your purpose. These are you values, passion and gifts.
Today’s insight is there to show you a place where discovery of the PURPOSE
DRIVEN LIFE (PDL) is easier if taken from. Discovery of the PDL is accessible
if you search for it from a place of rest.
Our major misconception
to the new life is that we are activity oriented and not rest oriented in our
souls. Christ did not invite us to come to him and labour but to rest - Coach Tarie: The Wisdom Garden (Volume 1)
Stories are told of how many ideas and insights that were
applied by great inventers, composers and artists came while they were in the
shower or while sleeping in their dreams and sometimes in the environment of
total peace like in the woods, or near large water bodies. Something is common
in these environments, it is rest. We are living in an environment that is
always calling us to action and yet the action is driven from outside
ourselves. The majority of this activity wears us down and produces very little
for ourselves.
It is those who can get time of quietness and rest that gets
the insight and tools required to be in control. We cannot be in control of
what happens to us because of so much activity, but by few focused well thought
of, intelligent and strategic actions.
John Kehoe said
that,
"Our inner
worlds reacts constantly and because we spend all our time simply reacting, we
never experience our power. Ironically you begin to create your own reality the
moment you cease constantly to react to the so called reality"
God, the Master, The Holy of Israel, has this solemn counsel:
"Your salvation requires you to turn back to me and stop your silly
efforts to save yourselves. Your strength will come from settling down in
complete dependence on me — The very
thing you've been unwilling to do. [Isa
30:15] [THE MESSAGE bible]
Religion has embraced this aspect of rest and quietness and
has principles of meditation to tap in accessible resources that are beyond the
natural. Naturally rest was given in the creators plan as he set a day for it,
put it in the separation of day from night and giving everyone the gift of
sleep for the purposes or rest, refocus, rejuvenation and restoration.
What kind of rest do you have access to, so that you can
operate from, a place where you can settle down and reflect and adjust to see
things clearly? I know one place that we have been given access to. It is given
by the only one who gave an invitation to rest saying,
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get
away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real
rest. Walk with me and work with me — watch how I do it. Learn the unforced
rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep
company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." [Matt 11:28-30] THE MESSAGE BIBLE
The best actions that we can take are those we begin to do
from the finished work of Christ, which is the greatest rest accessible to us.
The PDL is easy to discover when you rest in Christ through salvation. From
there you have to rest and be free from the pressures of impressing people,
seeking to fit in and be accepted. You impress God when you choose to believe
in Him, you already fit in His plan through the PDL and are already accepted by
Him in Christ.
Whenever you see yourself engaged in so much activity that
has little productivity take some time to rest so that you can develop better
ways to produce fruit. The secret to productivity is operating from rest. Look
for the next rest that you have access to before you are burn out in so much
activity that has little productivity.
