When a child is born they are mostly the expression of a purposeful soul ready to start a journey. They are true expression of the soul when they start the journey .The mind , body, soul and energy is aligned but with every activity in the external world, there is consumption with the help 5 senses happens slowly which may or may not be aligned with purpose of soul, in most of the cases it is not. It is as simple as our 5 senses are consuming data and bombarded with information from outside each moment stimulating every time to perform an action. Child becomes a personality of the programming from the external world and with more repetition of activities, there is a pattern which forms in the brain which turns in to behavior. The real voice of soul which was getting communicated in early phase becomes the whisper also called inner chatter in later phase which is not easy for most of us to understand. Life goes on and if the direction of the Journey is in opposite direction which was meant for the soul, one feels conflict at some point of time in their life. Many people ignore that thinking it is just the way it is and few try to understand what the conflict is. Out of those, Many just suppress even after understanding but few takes action to express the true nature of the soul which may not be easy path depending on at what stage one realizes the expression of the soul. Turning the ship towards the real direction will be easier if understanding is earlier in life as if the distance covered is more even the intention also becomes faded. The destination becomes hazy and the journey continues so we sit in the passenger seat with no confidence and go on the journey where the driver has planned to go. In this locomotive called life most of time we may not be knowing who the driver is and we follow the journey of driver.

It all started with Consumption right from childhood each moment and we give meaning to everything which becomes ultimately our personality . we have mostly given priority to what we consume with respect to one sense organ i.e taste but other consumption are hugely important to understand and given utmost importance. During childhood it is not in our control as mostly it is parents who is responsible for what we consume in every respect. As a parent we need to be conscious about every programming/consumption child is having and control wherever it is possible. During covid children are mostly getting programmed by their parents behavior or the content they are consuming on screen. It is very important that we understand the expression of our self as early as possible so that we can lean our consumption only as per our purpose rest can be ignored. This is not very easy in such a dynamic world but if you have to take control of your life, it needs to be done asap. Below are the few ways it can be done practically.

• Understanding your belief – We all are the reflection of our past and the future is mostly determined with what belief we are carrying so it is important to understand it and if required when belief is limiting ,replace it with something which works for you. These Mental models are difficult to change but are changeable, if an earnest effort is done to do so. Reflect on it and write down all limiting beliefs in all the dimensions like Career, Money, Love, Health, Parenting . For ex. 1. Money is evil 2. Health issues are hereditary so whatever we do it will happen and soon.
• What is your Vision – It is utmost important to understand what is your Goal and it is not about short term but long term goal. It is explained as 2nd habit in 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen covey and it says Begin with the end in mind. There are multiple dimension of life( Health, Parenting, Spiritual, social etc) where it should be thought of and it is not limited to just career and financial life. There are many dimension where envisioning is required to have balance in life. Best think to do is to make a Vision Board. There is scientific reason behind it as when you write down your goals or make it visual it is starts stimulating a specific bundle of nerves which is Reticular activating system (RAS) which acts as filter what information should go through and what not or in another words it helps to make conscious choice . Research by Edwin Locke and Gary Latham found that when people who followed setting specific and challenging goals led to higher performance 90 percent of the time
• The Purpose – Once you know what do you want to achieve , it is also important to understand the why of it as this gives you motivation to achieve the Goal. This gives a sense of direction to move and progress . Purpose is not limited to an individual but it takes you from I to we and which means collaboration for common purpose and creating Impact to make this world a better place to live.
• Roadmap– This step is important to create the strategy to achieve each dimension of life and work on it backward from 10 years goals to 5 years then 2 years and so on. This will help to choose those elements which will help to achieve the goals. More importantly it helps to ignore and avoid which are not supporting the goals.

The above pedagogy helps to choose what we need to consume each moment which is not limited to only our 5 senses but also beyond. Gary Zukav in his book The seat of the soul mentions that our personality has to become multisensory beyond 5 senses to recognize the influences of soul. When we align our thoughts, emotions and actions with the highest part of ourselves i.e soul and which is our true expression of being and thus Purpose. Once the consumption becomes purposefully conscious we will have confidence to move to driver seat to complete the journey in the desired direction.
