WHAT DID YOU NOT GET ENOUGH OF AS A CHILD?

Reverend Patrick Harbula, author of The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living will be giving a lecture on the subject of his book on Sunday May 20 at the 10:30 a.m. service and offering a workshop from noon to 3 p.m on Live Your Passion: Life Purpose Here and Now at the Camarillo Center for Positive Living, located at the Ottavio’s Banquet Hall, 340 Mobili Ave. Camarillo. 

Harbula has made many appearances on local and national radio and TV in the U.S. with his message of Living Your Passion. He has a simple yet profound formula to help people clarify their life purpose, which he defines as “what we love to do that makes the world a better place—or contributes to the lives of others.” He says that the key to success in any vocation, service project, or profound goal is to “1) Apply a clearly defined life purpose consistently in your life and 2) have a clear vision of your goal and take the practical steps to reach it. Every time we touch someone with our life purpose, our passion is activated as we sense the blessing of our gift being received. And each time we take a step toward manifesting our dream, we are filled with passion for its full realization as it becomes more concrete.”

One of the steps in his formula is to identify “the quality or guidance that you didn’t receive enough of as a child.” He says that “we tend to think that what we didn’t receive enough of is standing in the way of our greatest success, but we can completely reframe that and recognize that the quality that we didn’t get enough of is what inspires us to create or demonstrate that quality in the world and therefore is our greatest asset. It is in fact, what drives our passion to succeed.”

Patrick Harbula is a non-denominational minister and has been conducting spiritual and transpersonal psychology classes and seminars for over 20 years. In 1986, he founded Meditation magazine, a national, bimonthly publication, which offered a diverse presentation of spiritual practice. He achieved unprecedented success as a Director at Sage Publication a world-renowned social science publisher, by applying spiritual principles to business strategy.
