Bigger Than Life

I recently read a book by Ani Anderson called, “Find Your Soul's Agenda: The one word that will make your whole life a success”. (Yup, this is an affiliate link.) In this book, she talked about her journey to a word that would change her life.

The best thing about the book is that she walks you through finding your one word, or in my case short phrase, that is what your Soul's Agenda is. It's based on the idea that our Souls came here to experience a certain kind of feeling. Not a new concept, right?

The difference is, she takes you through a process to find a word that describes what your Soul came here to feel. For me, that phrase is Bigger Than Life. Once you know your word, you'll then define it. This is important because this isn't about what society thinks the word means. It's about a definition that inspires you. You'll also come away with a Soul Agenda statement. Mine is:

My Soul's agenda is to feel Bigger Than Life and to invite you to experience the same.

Once you have your word and definition, you can apply it to every amazing experience you've had and see that yes, it was a perfect way to describe that memory. You can use it to create experiences in the future that will bring that feeling about. She even teaches you how to use it to make decisions. The first part is, which of these will cause me to feel (insert soul agenda word here)? She has a tip for if neither choice matters.

After you know your Soul's agenda, you'll learn how your Soul has been living on purpose your whole life. I was raised with the idea that you can't feel bliss if you haven't felt pain. That basically to know what a positive feeling feels like, you have to experience the opposite.

There are two sides to every feeling. We focus on what we want and label what we don't as being bad. What if it wasn't bad but rather an opportunity to learn what it feels like to be in the opposite of what you want to feel? The Soul's Agenda wants to feel both in order to fully experience its agenda. You'll define the opposite of your Soul's Agenda and see where that also applies to every horrible experience you had.

With this information in hand, you have choices. Do you want to learn the lesson or repeat the lesson? Do you want to stay in whatever negative feeling you have? If yes, awesome, do it. I suggest also saying, “I feel this (insert negative feeling) fully and completely.” If you want to feel it, really feel it. If your answer is no, then you can easily say, “I release this feeling and choose to feel (insert positive here.)”

I hope you decide to read the book. I promise, whatever word you think might be yours isn't likely right. I thought mine might be freedom. Freedom is a part of my definition, but the word doesn't come close to explaining how Bigger Than Life feels.

Have an amazing day!

With love from my heart to yours,
