The Shift from Ambition to Meaning

I recently watched the movie- The Shift, by Wayne Dyer.
I actually decided to watch it twice because the first time I got so much out of it that I forgot all the inspiring "Ah-Ha" moments that I was having. The second time I was prepared with a pen & paper.

I would like to share a thought about the concept of shifting from Ambition to Meaning. Those that know me, would say that I am a go-getter. I like to accomplish tasks and accumulate achievements. I have always considered myself as Ambitious. I have realized that being ambitious is not serving me well. What does serve me well is living with Meaning or Purpose in my life.

When living with Meaning, Life is complete. It takes the "need to do something" out. Accepting and Trusting that everything happens at its perfectness. It is a Life of Bliss, Joy, Happiness, Love, and Grace.

When living without Meaning, Life feels like a continuous chore- going from task, to task, to task- always searching for something else to do, get done, or accomplish in order to full-feel a void. What is the void? Individual/personal Meaning.

What feels better to you? Continuously paddling up-stream in a river, exhausted and frustrated that you are not going anywhere. Or, allowing the float to take place and enjoying life as it comes to you.

I have experienced both scenarios at times in my life, and now thanks to Wayne Dyer's reminder, I choose to float the river. Those that have not yet seen the movie- The Shift, I recommend it.
