Whenever you feel deeply touched by an injustice you hear about, you may be a step closer to your calling. Take a newspaper and read the headlines and notice which ones make you crunch inside the most. Is it environmental abuse? Injustice done to the weaker ones, children, prisoners, patients, animals? Or is it economic disparity?

Pick your battle! But instead of or in addition to battling what is, consider putting all your passion and efforts into finding and supporting solutions. There is a reason why you feel affected by specific issues. It ruffles your feathers so you can get active and become part of the solution.

You can become part of the solution in many ways, and if you decide to commit fully to one of our problems that needs to be solved, be sure the magic support of the universe is on your side. That may sounds too fantastic, but it is true. Once you commit your strength to alleviating suffering in any way, the infinite force of evolution is on your side.

Now let me share my story with you. I was around twenty-five years old, and the issue that started touching me deeply was the abuse children experience at school. Having been at public school in Europe my whole life, I knew the issue by heart. I noticed I lost my joy of learning early on but luckily functioned well in the school system. Only during my Montessori teacher training that I concluded (after becoming a university-trained high school teacher) did I realize how much more joyful I could have been in my learning if I had been given a chance to be more self-directed. In addition, I realized that through all these school years, I didn’t learn any of the skills I now desperately needed: team work, non-violent communication, mediation, emotional processing, healthy nutrition, being connected to my inner guidance and the list goes on.

So I had found my “battle”. I researched more child-friendly education methods and discovered that a whole lot had already been tried. Through my years in some of the child-centered Wild-inspired schools in Europe, I developed the New Learning Culture approach – an approach that takes the most child-friendly elements from alternative education approaches and synthesizes them for teachers to learn how to provide child-directed learning environments.

On my path to becoming a consultant for child-directed learning, I was surprised with countless blessings. All my needs have always been met even during the times when my young business did not bring in enough to pay the rent. My family and friends reached out to support me during the times when I set up my course programs. I miraculously found a house with affordable rent. People were open to trading with me for my services when I did not have enough money to pay for their services. And this was validation for me to pursue my new passion.

By following my vocation, I experienced the help of many many people and each time I received a miraculous blessing, I knew it was the force of evolution itself that supported me. And it is still happening.

Obviously I don’t know if it will be the same way for you. But I do think the power of the pure heart devoted to finding a solution to the immense unnecessary suffering that is happening is irresistible! The additional intelligence you develop when stopping emotional drama and survival fear while dedicating your time and effort to a cause is going to help you manifest a livelihood. All surroundings are spontaneously compelled to support you because they know it’s reciprocal and they also support themselves and their own children by helping you.

Your passionate compassion turned vocation can change the world. If you’ve let anything stop you up until now, and don’t do something starting now, you’ll never know what might have been – and it is the people you could have helped that will suffer the most.
