Risk it

I've been reading a book about the great composers and their spiritual lives with a women's classic's study group. We met last night to discuss this book. It was wonderful to meet with these women to discuss this book. It allowed for a more "real" exchange than just where I usaully see them. We talked about what we liked about the book, of course, and there was much to like. It was good to know how the great composers, like Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms conducted their lives, their good qualities, and how their actions or words (as well as their music) showed their devotion to God.
It was also good to talk about how to use this book to see our lives with new perspective. The question was asked at our study group, these men obviously fulfilled a mission they had in bringing forth this beautiful music to the world, do we each have special missions to the world and are we living them? Great question for the group and I would've liked to explore it further. But one woman spoke about fear and how it really takes a risk to live that kind of life. And she maybe wasn't willing to do that, too great a risk. Another woman said that she was indeed living her purpose, which involved homeschooling her children. She said she felt liked she received a very personal answer and inspiration to do this for her children, and from then on she was sure and had to follow through on it and take the risk. Is the lesson, don't ask if you don't want to know?
Well, I also know part of my mission in this life. It is to do energy and emotional healing work with anyone who will come to me. And in doing this, help them to see and feel the truth of who they are, while letting go of false beliefs and stuck energy. When I do this work it brings me tremendous satisfaction and joy. I also feel, like the great composers, that I act only as a vessel. They saw it all as coming from God, not them. I feel the same. I suppose that as we take the risk, step into the unknown, ask for knowledge of our own mission, we are given answers and powers to do the work, yet feeling our inadequacy and reliance on Spirit to bring the beautiful outcome. May we each take the risk. The more we risk, the greater the joy. ~Julie
