Good day. Happy Sunday.
This week I want to focus on expanding our minds and therefore expanding our souls toward reaching all that we can be.
I have heard several interviews this past week about what to do with one's life. Some are focused more on following one's dreams and passions, while others are more practical and directed toward finding something fulfilling that pays well.
So which is it?
If you are indeed lucky, you might actually get to do something you absolutely love as your work and get paid well for it too. But does that mean that the person who does not get paid well should just throw in the towel and give up the dream? What if you dreams involve working in a volunteer capacity to help as many people as you can? Mother Theresa comes to mind. I don't believe she cared a whole lot about being paid well and living a comfortable and luxurious life. Instead she gave of herself so that others would be comforted.
Personally, I'm all for following one's dreams, no matter what strange path they may lead you down. That is, after all, part of the adventure. If you decide to simplify and live as you need to, there should not be any reason why you can't pursue your passions, as long as all of your time and energy is not given to work that you hate so you can pay the bills for things that you don't really need. A big house? A fancy car? How many pairs of shoes doers one person really need?
Life is about choices. Ultimately it is each person's decision as to what they want to do with their life. A person could choose to follow their passion and live a much simpler life to do so. Think of starving artists. I'd have to say, that although it gets tiring always trying to make ends meet, the freedom to create far exceeds the minor discomforts of life. A lot of artistic people choose smaller dwellings, choosing instead to make the focus of their life on being creative. Their small homes are usually quite beautiful and reflect their artistic personalities very well.
It is time to expand our minds and allow the paradigm change to take root. It is not all about the money. Life is so much more than all of the things you can surround yourself with. Maybe the new dreams involve not only following your true calling, but allowing yourself to be open to experiencing more relationships with people you come into contact with. Share the love.
Yes, follow your dreams. Walk the high road to the inner self. Meet people and learn from them. Love them. Experience those relationships fully. Find joy in self and others and share it. Do the things you enjoy and love to do. It feeds the spirit and keeps your soul alive.
Don't let anyone tell you that you have to settle for a job you don't like. Maybe it's just a stepping stone on your way to someplace else, and that's fine. But, don't give up your dreams. Life is far too short to throw away on some nine to five, cubicle dwelling occupation that simply pays the mortgage.
What is your spirit telling you? Listen to your heart and open yourself to endless possibilities. Anything is possible. You create it all. Think of that. And then think of a life you want to be in. Think of the perfect life. Dream a little every single day and you are one step closer to getting there. Believe it and watch the Universe unfold to allow your world to expand into the dream.
It can happen.
Love to all.
