We have just passed the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, the Summer Solstice, but the days are still long and warm, the nights soft and easy. As summer continues, businesses and entertainment centers begin to open, we now move outdoors for more activities. I feel like a butterfly emerging from a year’s cocoon of separation. Looking around, Mother Nature abounds with burgeoning growth of trees, grasses, flowers, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Activity is the hallmark of the season.
We have all yearned for expansion in the last year of restriction. Now is the time to step into the expansion and growth.
1. Identify your soul calling or life purpose and begin to walk the path to its fulfillment. Recognize the vocation, career, business, life direction, or mission that ignites your passion and move into a blissful and satisfying life.
2. Even if you still are working at a job to earn a living and pay for daily expenses, commit to follow the path that satisfies your heart and spirit. This commitment will attract joy and love no matter where you are or what other work you need to do. Commitment to learning and attention to following through on becoming the person designed to be, serving those needing your gifts, and being the Best you, are essential to fulfillment.
3. Dedicate to becoming your magnificent butterfly self. Once begun on the path, continuing the pursuit of learning, growing, healing and serving is necessary. Even though our bodies may stop growing when we reach a certain age, our mind, hearts, and spirits do not. Being dedicated to our purpose and passion is a life-long process. Just as we eat daily to nourish our bodies, we must continually feed our mind, hearts and souls with spiritual nourishment.
