Inhaltsangabe

This book is designed to help you discover the truth about who you are and how you can fulfill your destiny. Each one of us is born on purpose, for a purpose, and each one of us has been endowed with the gifts and talents we need to fulfill that purpose. The path to fulfillment lies in knowing who we truly are, who we were born to be, and when we live our lives aligned with this knowledge, we experience harmony and happiness. But many of us are confused about our sense of self and try to be the person our parents or society expect us to be, rather than living authentically from the core of our being. The search for enlightenment is the search for the truth about who we are and it is our lifes work to find out what this is and live it. We owe it not just to ourselves, but to our family, our community, and to human civilization, to make this quest to discover who we are and what it is that we are to contribute. Excerpt from review by Jane FitzHerbert, Cape Arts Review. There are many books that claim they can help you change your life, but we may wonder how many actually deliver. This is one book that does. This is a complex book about a complex subject, but the author, Gillian Drake, a former medical intuitive who now focuses on the psychology of the soul, manages to explain in a clear and elegant fashion the concept that the soul has a definite structure, a pattern which applies to each one of us. She explains that we all are designed on purpose, for a purpose, that we each have a divine design that we engage with at birth and which determines who we are going to be, that we are who we are from the get-go. Sadly, many well-meaning parents and teachers may try to encourage us to fit into a different mold when we are young, but true happiness and fulfillment lie in living our truth, by expressing who we are designed to be. The book explains that it is our Aptitude, or type of Intelligence, along with our Archetypes that define our personality and direct us towards meaning and purpose in life. It is these two aspects of our personality that give us a quick snapshot of who we are designed to be. An example is Donald Trump, a Communicator type with the Midas Archetype, great gifts for a self-promoting property speculator with the focus on making a deal, but not such great attributes for a world leader. Other examples include Henry Ford, a Practical-Manual type with the Engineer archetype, Celine Dion, a Musical Type with the Performer archetype, Tom Brady, a Physical Type with the Hero archetype, and Oprah Winfrey, a Spiritual Type with the Servant archetype. The author ends her book with the admonition, Enjoy Being Who You Are. Enjoy being who you are and explore every part of your personality. You have been given your gifts and talents in order to live life out loud, without guilt, without restraint. If you can dance, dance. If you can sing, sing. If you can write, write. If you are good at managing money, make a fortune. Everyone has unique gifts to share with the world. Find a way to express those gifts so you can illuminate the world by being who you are. Being who you are is all you need to do, nothing more is asked of you. So live your life out loud and sing your song as only you can sing it.
