So…What Do YOU Want To BE When YOU Grow Up?

” I began to have an idea of my life, not as the slow shaping of acievement to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery and growth of a purpose which I did not know.” 
 -Joanna Field


As I began this week, I was gently reminded that there is a reason for all that has happened in the past. Yesterday’s situations, circumstances and events form the very threads of our life tapestry.  And…as I look in the mirror, at least every morning for my setting of Intention for each day, the wonderful lines on my face mark the times that have passed in which I experienced joy and laughter, as well as, tears and sorrow.  You may have experienced that very awareness, too. Whether same events have scarred our soul or warmed and comfoted our heart, they all happened for a reason…a Purpose…and they helped to mold who we are today in each present moment.

We may often feel that the challenge is to discover not only “why” things happened…but, for “why” we are here in the first place, as well as, Now!  


Ask yourSelf: What is the meaning of my Life?  Only You know the answer to this very personal, private, and profound question.  From deep within…from within our Soul essence…we begin the search to understand all that has happened…all that is Now…and all that will BE.  For there surely is a Purpose to this sometimes insane and chaotic, as well as, magnificent and inspired life…for each and every one of us, both individually and collectively.

For me, making sense of the past in terms of the Purpose of events that have happened in my life brings comfort, closure, and, often time re-newed Purpose for me. Right now, I’m reflecting on matters of the heart…on Love.  Having kissed some toads…we have all done it…we are then able to recognize our prince or princess when he or she comes along.  Having been in business…or been employed for years, we come to identify and realize more and more what we want…or, perhaps, more importantly, what we don’t want.  I have found this to be true with the kissing of toads, as well.  Having been stricken with life threatening and severe illness, we learn to appreciate and nurture Excellent health and well-Being!  Having lost someone we love, we learn to not let one day go by that we don’t fail to let those we love and cherish how very much they mean to us…how much we appreciate them for who they are and all they do and BE!

There exists a method to the chaos in the Big Picture of Life.  Some of us call it Divine Order…while others refer to that method as fate.  Whatever you may choose, know that deep within your heart there is Truly a Purpose to your Life…and that all the places you have been have brought you to where you are this very day.  Also, although we may never think so at the time they are occurring and unfolding, often, our most painful experiences and expressions serve to form our character.

It is only by Blessing the past, that we fully allow ourSelf to Live fully in the present…and not merely in default mode.

Especially today, I invite you to answer the question, “What do I want to BE when I grow up?  Then…regardless of your age, situation or circumstance… go do IT!  Yes…follow your dreams!   Please Know that you will never regret listening to your heart!  However, trust and believe you will only wonder what would have…could have been when you neglect your heart’s desires!  Of this, I AM certain!

To New Beginnings Together!
Are You Ready To Celebrate Life…and BE the Best that YOU can BE?
