Your experiences of the past have helped to form what you are, today. For better or for worse, this is largely true. IF we allow ourselves to remain as we are, in our “bubble of reality” that we have created for ourselves from past experiences, this will remain true. Even if our past was highly successful, and we have reached all our goals, it is still a trap.
Life is new every day. To appreciate its newness we need to break free of this bubble from the past. Ekhardt Tolle suggests that we do this when take on a new point of view: that of self-observation. This allows us to have a new perspective that includes the universe outside our own ego (that had been built from the past.) Doing this puts us in the now, with its newness of the moment and its infinite possibilities of creation.
Thus we break free from the past, and free to fulfill the Purpose for which God put us on this earth.

Lesson 1 cont’d
Discovering Your Mission in Life
You were put on this earth for a Purpose: your search for, and pursuit of, that Purpose will define who you are, and what you will accomplish in your life. It makes good sense to spend time discovering what this, your life’s mission, is. Take time each day to consider what this Mission is, adjust your vision of it- even change it as necessary.
There are some essential ingredients to consider.
• Your mission should have an eternal aspect. A mission must have something beyond even the loftiest goal.
• Your mission should also be your passion.
• It should be beyond your current reach, but not beyond your ultimate reach. In NLP there is a technique, future pacing, that involves imagining yourself at some time into the future. Imagine yourself at a far distant time when you have developed beyond your current self. If all things were possible, what purpose would you pursue?
Finally, your mission must be defined so you will indeed know when you are on the right Path. In NLP language- it should be a “well formed outcome”. For help with this, and in setting goals in general, visit: http://www.nlp-now.co.uk/wfo-6qs.htm
