The best way to get out of rut is to Ask Questions!

The very best way to launch a new life is to start asking questions:

- What do I want?
- What do I already have that I am grateful for, but want more of?
- What is my life missing that would bring me fulfillment?
- What did I love to do as a child, but have forgotten about?
- What dreams have I put on the 'on-the-back-burner' indefinitely?
- What would I do, if I could do anything?
- If I did pursue this, what would the steps be?
- What am I willing to do?
- What am I not willing to do?
- What would I be willing to sacrifice in order to achieve this?
- How can I make a contribution?
- What are my strengths and talents?
- What do I do really well?
- What do I want to avoid doing?

We are creative beings! We were meant to create! We cannot help but want to grow, build, be inspired, and to feel like we are making a contribution!

Whenever I hear someone say, "I just want to retire and do nothing." I know that this is just their exhaustion talking. We all feel this way when we get 'burned-out' and need a break. However, this desire does not come from the spirit within us that will eventually rise above the exhaustion and call us to create, create, create!

Sometimes we get in a rut when we don't have that next 'creation' on the horizon. When we we have a desire to make a contribution but aren't sure where to flow our creative energy, we can feel stuck, stagnant, and even anxious. The energy within us builds up like a smoldering volcano wanting to explode.

There are times when this build-up will cause us to take it out negatively on those around us or we can feel depressed without knowing why. We must find a way to release this energy. We must find a way to flow our intentions and our desire to manifest opportunities to express this creative energy, or we will be missing our life purpose!

Therefore, to get started, simply be willing to ask yourself questions until something very appealing bubbles to the surface. One answer will stand out above the others and you'll begin to feel a little excitement, maybe even a little afraid, but nevertheless, you'll begin to feel real emotions about this idea.

Be willing to explore the idea on paper. What would your life look like if you would pursue this? What are the risks? Are you willing to both fail and to succeed? First, write down a list of everything that you want this idea to be like, feel like, etc.

Then, write down every little step physically, mentally, and spiritually that would have to happen in order for you to achieve this idea.

Go within and ask for guidance and then select 5 baby-steps to do this month. Don't worry about whether or not this is the right path for you. It may not be the ultimate direction for you. However, even if this idea is just the stepping stone that leads you to the next idea, or the next one, just the act of taking action will allow you to begin attracting your real purpose and a sense of accomplishment.

Simply be willing to just take action and you'll be on the right path to experience the fulfillment that you really want.
