Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Feb/Mar 2019 Aspire Magazine Full Issue | Page 61

Our soul is hungry, but not for more things or
distractions; it’s craving a new way of being.
This becoming more isn’t the same as
what our small self or ego might have us
think; which is you’re never good enough.
You need to become more famous, rich,
educated, deserving, respected, beautiful or
just plain “more.”
The type of becoming that the soul is
inviting us to evolve into is about becoming
more of our authentic self and who we are
at the core of our being. The soul wake-
up call is summoning us to become more
grounded in our own essence as a spiritual
being having a human experience. And with
that awareness, we move forward making
decisions that are in alignment with our
deepest truths.
Sounds simple enough, but the truth is it’s
not simple. It’s not simple or easy because
to honor our soul we often need to go against
the grain. The grain being a force within
us that is powered by societal and familial
conditioning. A deep seeded message in
each of us, containing the seed of who we’re
“supposed” to be. This creates a powerful
pull in us to “fit in” and not rock the boat. But,
there is an even more powerful force that
rebels until we pay close attention and begin
to listen. This opposing powerful force is the

are in alignment with our own unique blueprint.
The challenge for many of us is that we often
define ourselves by things external to us, and
Our souls are summoning us to become
more and not to have or do more.
THE TYPE OF
BECOMING THAT
THE SOUL IS
INVITING US TO
EVOLVE INTO IS
ABOUT BECOMING
MORE OF OUR
AUTHENTIC SELF
AND WHO WE ARE
AT THE CORE OF
OUR BEING.
live our lives based on other people’s values,
rather than the needs of our own souls.
Women often tell me that they have no idea
who they are anymore. Many of us have
been defined by our roles as a mother, wife,
partner, daughter, etc.
The problem is that when our roles change,
which they always will, we have no idea who
we are. As long as we define ourselves by
someone or something external to us, we
will experience some degree of soul hunger.
If your soul tells you that it needs be creative
and free in order to thrive, even if that means
you won’t make a lot of money, and you
choose to listen to society or conditioning
that says you’ll never be happy unless you
have a certain type of job or make a certain
amount of money—your soul will rebel.
If your soul needs you to be in a relationship
with someone who is growing, evolving and
