Living On Purpose
You can either live your life by default, or you can live your life on purpose. When you live on purpose your day is more structured and significant. When you live by default things may or may not happen for you. It is entirely your choosing.
At the end of your day are you feeling like not much has gotten accomplished? Are you worn out and exhausted? It’s time to get out your planner and start scheduling your day, because if it’s not on the schedule it doesn’t get done. Don’t let your life just happen, watching the days slip away like an innocent bystander. Take the wheel and start driving. You’ll find more magic happens when you are the driver than merely a passive passenger.
What Is Your Soul Mission?
Many psychics, mediums and metaphysicians refer to the concept of the ‘soul mission’ in their work. But what is a soul mission? How do we know if we are on the correct path of accomplishing our soul mission?
A soul mission is something that we were sent to this Earth to achieve in our lifetime. It is something that is meant to be our life’s calling. Just like anything else in the world, we all have different definitions of things, depending on our point of views and experiences. A person’s life calling is very personal, specific and something that is divinely orchestrated.
A soul mission or life purpose is something that fills us with joy. It is said that if your job feels like fun and you enjoy what you do… it doesn’t feel like work. That is because you are truly on the path on which you belong.
Calming The Stormy Waters Of The Inner Child
I walk on the beach daily, near my home. In fact, I often walk multiple times a day. This is my meditative and contemplative time, to reflect and see what areas in my life I can improve or change, what areas are working well, and what shifts are going on.
In the morning, the water can be as smooth as glass. This represents true peace, clarity and reflection. In the afternoon, the water can have three-foot to ten-foot waves, and the beach space that was so abundant in the morning, is gone. This represents the turmoil that is happening in my life and on our planet, or just what comes and goes in the daily news.
In the evening, the water settles down. It’s not quite as glass-like as in the morning, however it has a small and calming wave. This represents all the cleansing that happened during the day and the cleansing that is to happen through the night, bringing me full circle to another calm again in the morning.
Live A Vibrant Life!
Focus on play and adventure in your daily life. As you tackle any tasks at hand, ask yourself how can I infuse this with fun? Simply smiling more changes the vibration and allows joy to shine brightly. Find a new lightheartedness in your step and your chores will become pleasures, as you focus on laughter and play.
To create adventure, excitement and enthusiasm in your life may be as simple as taking time to watch animals, or smiling as you pass people on the street, where before you would hurry with your head down. It might be stepping outside of your box and planning something with friends and family or maybe doing something delightful that you’ve always wanted to try.
You really can turn anything mundane into something full of life and vibrancy. It’s your attitude that keeps joy from being a dominant force in your life. Once you indulge in the joy of life things not only become easier to accomplish, but it takes less time to get them done.
Animal Rescue As A Spiritual Calling
A friend recently asked me if have considered the possibility that all the animal rescue work I have been doing in recent years might be the symptom of a deep desire to heal some wounded part of myself? She also said I may be suffering from what her therapist refers to as a ‘savior complex.’ And this might stem from fear of rejection, insecurities and any other negative experiences from my childhood. I did not get defensive, but said I would ponder her remark. Actually, I am pondering what she said as I type this blog.
As much as my husband and I love all animals, it was never our intention to get as involved as we have now with our bounty of ‘rescued animals.’ In hindsight, we ended up taking in some very sick, injured, starving, and abandoned fur babies, because the small local rescue centre was bursting at the seams. I guess we found ourselves unable to bury our heads in the sand.
Live Your Wild, Precious Life!
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” These words by Mary Oliver is my favorite inspirational quote, which I even use as the postscript in all my letters and emails. No matter our age, we will always have desires. They are an important part of what our soul came here to learn and experience.
In this life we go through it all: love, loss, sickness, grief, anger, hope, and joy. Some of our challenges can knock us off our game and leave us in the land of the lost. We can feel like giving up on love, our dreams and desires, and numb out.
Before the movie The Bucket List was released, I was planning a transition from a fast-paced engineering job. I was contemplating early retirement and I wanted to take some gap time before going full-time in my metaphysical business.
Developing The Ideal Environment
We have seen how the environment can be somewhat manipulated by our own perceptions, which may or may not be our personal desires, but perhaps not the correct path… even if we believe it to be. For example, should we all wish for indigo rainbows, we would miss out on all the other colors of the spectrum for the desire of it.
In creating our own realities, it may be better to focus on what is offered, not what is desired. What is available is usually the better option. It is already completely available and laid out for us. These basic elements need not necessarily be amplified or perfected, they need to be studied prior to improvement, which is a problem with which one can have mastery, and there are problems in attaining chance events within the experience.
