About this deal

There were pieces missing, a journey needed to be taken. I called upon the Universe and spiritual teachers to support me. This book is the result of that journey. The concept of listening to your soul. Answering the calling of your soul isn't a one-time act; it's a perpetual conversation. It's not actually about doing one big thing, or finding one single answer to the great big question: 'What is my purpose?' It's doing hundreds of thousands of little things in that direction, one after the other. Being intentional, kind and passionate in your day to day life. Choosing the decisions and ways that light you up. One step at a time. That's a beautiful concept. An encouraging guidebook to awaken to your potential, connect with the callings of your soul, and light up the world with your presence. The idea that energy has genders. Just no. 'Masculine energy' is main at the moment apparently and we need less of that. Yes we need more love and trust but WHY is that 'feminine' ??? We really really REALLY don't need to divide the genders more by attributing random stuff to one or the others. I think the ideas in this book could have been explained just as well without the use of the words masculine and feminine. All this does is alienate men from reading this book (even though she kept lamely adding 'and men' after going on about how women can do this, or that), perpetuate gender stereotypes and cause more anger and misunderstanding.

When Rebecca talked about not knowing. Because there is this thing about following your dreams and your passions (people make it sound so easy), but what if you don't know what your dreams are? To be honest, the whole Soul Purpose thing stressed me out. It felt like a big decision to make, the type that hangs over you until you do it. But I was petrified that I might miss my life, or get it wrong. She says that you have to be OK with having no idea what is going to happen and then do things anyway. It's not about having a detailed plan, or knowing where things will lead, and it's not about a specific job or career. It's simple - our soul is always calling. You can light up the world when doing the simplest of things from cooking dinner to updating your social media. The image of Rebecca waiting for the Universe to call and tell her her purpose was fun and relatable. " I wanted to know the final destination before I took the first step." It has a little bit of a memoir vibe to it as Rebecca Campbell tells the story of her spiritual journey and then she also offers advice on how others can find their true calling and open up spiritually. I think this is always something that has interested me but never something I've particularly thought about. The hierarchies. Some people are 'highly conscious' apparently. Some people have experienced 'more than this'. Some are 'a few steps behind you'. Happy is a better emotion than sad. Oh and btw don't forget how awesome and in touch with your soul you are for reading this book. NOPE. People are more than they appear at first glance or even 5000th glance. It's so easy to define ourselves and others in our mind but I don't think this is helpful to our mission of lighting up the world. We are multi-faceted, complicated and always changing messes and we are all just trying our best with what we've got. And where and what is this one straight line in which I can be ahead or behind someone on? We are all on our own journey. I have done a lot of overthinking and worrying in my time and recently I've been trying to take life less seriously. Stuff will happen and it will touch you and change you. Things will get DEEP and life is crazy. But we don't have to plan for it. This book takes life quite seriously and that's just something I don't need at the moment. I created these with the intention of guiding you not only to hear the callings of your soul, but to act on them too…

I wasn't entirely sure what this book would be about but I loved the cover and something about it just appealed to me. I was curious about what this book would tell me. She documents answering the call within her to give over more of her life to doing what felt like her calling from the heart, the soul, which required overcoming the intellect, the ego, a culture and a certain kind of education (the traditional kind). And that, I think, kind of sums up the whole book. There's no point. Even the more practical advice on self-care and tapping into your intuition or spiritual self is all things I've read before from authors who have more concrete lessons to impart, or who at least don't try to pretend that they've had a rough go of it first. Everything else, from her life story snippets to her attempts at empowerment poetry, are shallow, vague, repetitive, poorly-written (she even ends a chapter with "LOL"...), poorly-edited and clearly feeling like a cash-grab directed at middle-class-and-up comfortable women who've never known hardship beyond being passed up for a promotion. The author provides a fresh perspective on some well-known "new age" wisdom. She has a great accent, but I had to replay from time to time because I misunderstood or couldn't figure out something she said the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Rebecca doesn't use the term 'God' hardly at all, instead keeping it open to people from all walks of life calling the higher power in our lives 'source', 'universe' and 'grace', encouraging you to use the word that feels most comfortable to you.

Once you rediscover what you already know at soul level, you can create a life that is in divine alignment, discover your soul gifts, and offer the world something that only you can give. Yes and No. The author includes "Work Your Light" exercises. Because there is no pdf of the exercises, as authors sometimes do, I tried to "clip"/bookmark the spots where the exercises began so I could revisit later. I don't recommend doing this. Not fun or efficient. In this inspirational book, Rebecca shares her own healing journey, alongside practical tools to help you reconnect with the core of your being, and channelled messages from the Universe.GailLarsen, founderofReal Speaking®andauthorof Transformational Speaking: If YouWantto ChangetheWorld, TellaBetter Story
