The twelfth rough night has the energy of December, which we just left behind – the cycle is complete. December is the darkest month of the year, and it is the month when we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Exercise

Imagine again and again how you step from darkness into light. What kind of light is it? How does it feel to step into the light?

Also, imagine how you let your own light shine.

The rough nights help us to practice transitions as we undergo them time and again in our private and business lives. The more often we experience transitions consciously and concentrate on the essential things while doing so the more active can we shape our life and our success.

The rough nights mark the beginning of a new time and the last night is a very magical night. The perfect point in time to bring your purpose of life and your life-task to light. Both are ultimately connected. Trust your ability to listen to your heart and your gut, you practiced it already in some of the rough nights. Leave your mind out of it. 

Often, we look for our meaning on the outside. We all look for love, happiness, wealth and abundance on the outside. However, we cannot find the above on the outside. Everything, we find outside will never satisfy our needs completely, we will always need more and more input from the outside. But where from? No worries, you have everything you need already inside you. Stop looking on the outside, turn inward once more and answer the following questions:

• Who am I?
• Where do I come from?
• Why am I here?
• If I knew I could have everything I need and do not need to worry about money or anything else, if I knew I was successful whatever I want to do, what would I do?
• What is my task?
• What is my calling?
• What inspires me?
• For what would I give up anything, or even die for?

Just relax if you cannot uncover your purpose of life or discover your life-task immediately, or if you cannot describe into detail. You have taken the first step and are on your way already. Just accept that you do not know everything yet and keep an open mind and stay curious. I am sure you know everything already. Maybe you are just nor ready yet to admit it to yourself. Be patient with yourself and turn inside yourself again and again.

Of course, finding your purpose in life and your life-task is the ultimate start into your success. It is literally your calling; here you cannot help but being successful.

Although, contemplation is important and I would like to advise you to do it regularly, it is just as important to make experiences consciously on the outside in order to grow. And this leads us to the next step of our twelfth rough night.

Looking inside us we can realise in which areas of our life we want to further develop, learn and grow. While doing so always remember that you are enough the way you are, you are wonderful, unique and worthy. Do not compare yourself with others, do not assess – or even worth – judge yourself. Stand by yourself and have your own back.

Exercise

Be courageous, gather experiences where you need to get out of your comfort zone. What could it be? Do it regularly it strengthens your self-worth.

It could be calling a company you always wanted to work for, talking to someone you don’t know, go for a walk alone, give a speech or a presentation, tell family or friends something about your fears, etc.

Tomorrow, we are going to review the rough nights. 

Until then, be well,
