In terms of your relationship with your family, I think there are moments where you might have a heart-to-heart with your mother, father, brother, sister or cousin, where you're just really opening your heart to that person because they're family and you have that relationship. You may feel that this is a person with whom you share a deep question with, or you just want to share your frustration. And that's great.
If it's your "life mission family", then that heart-to-heart might be subtly different because now they're your family around a particular stewardship in your life.
So when you're having that heart-to-heart with your life mission mother, father, brother, sister, cousin, aunt or crazy aunt or uncle, the talk has a very particular context, characteristic, and stewardship. You are now opening up to them about something that is within the very particular stewardship of your life mission and they will be correlated as a life mission family member for a particular reason.
The mystics would say that we pick our biological family for a reason. Our life mission family is picked for a correlation to the blueprint of our life mission, so these people would be correlated in exactly that way, specifically around your life mission.
If you haven't articulated clearly what your life mission is yet, and yet you know that this person fits your life mission, the nature of who they are, and what you might go to them for a heart-to-heart about, might be telling you something about your life mission.
It might be that missing puzzle piece. I would say, hmm, if this person is part of my life mission, and this is the person I'd want to have that heart-to-heart with about something about my life mission, then that's telling me something very specific about my life mission, or at least that aspect of my life mission. And, in terms of getting clear about what your life mission is, that's helpful.
Then, as we're morphing and changing, particularly the vehicles of our life mission, and we have to make a decision about which way to go or whether we are willing to make a choice around life mission, that special person in our life might help us make the right decision and 'do the right thing.' instead of taking the easy path.
Not that your life mission may not also be easy in a certain sense. But sometimes we reach these points where we need to make a decision about our life mission and sometimes there are tough choices. The life mission family, including that particular person, with that particular insight about that aspect of our life mission, may be the person that helps us make that tough choice.
