The Path

Our life path brings us upon many a tough climb that can be so grueling that we often forget to take a moment and look at where we are.

We forget to enjoy the process.

Yes change is difficult, and many steps can offer an unsure footing at times.

And therein lies the leap of faith.

Why?

Because regardless of where we come from or what our beliefs are, we believe that there is a purpose for everything.

Our life purpose...

So what is it all about?

Many people have asked themselves this very question in times passed.

And yet each and every one of those path seekers will tell you a different meaning for life.

If we all have a different meaning for life then what is the meaning of life?

To me it is a path.

We learn and teach every step of the way, often not really knowing on a macro level, what we are moving towards.

Yes there's the next meal, or the next night out or that special treat you want to buy for yourself or that special someone and of course our careers.

So if life is a path for a bigger purpose, why do we feel such a pull towards the little things?

And why do we get so enthralled in life's debate over these little things?

Because like anything else in this physical world, our personal lives or paths are something we build upon.

One little piece at a time.

We put our heart into so little.

Its now more common to acquire something as a status symbol.

"Wait until you see what I just got."

Building a path of resentment and greed.

This path only leads to more of the same because you will never have everything, this is impossible!

When we open our hearts to our true path, we change.

We change our desires,

We change our focus,

We change our path!

For many who find their path, life stays relatively the same. They still have their job, their family, their house, most of their beliefs and for some nothing changes at all.

Or so it may seem.

They appear happier in themselves of course and yet they are doing the same things they always have. Except, they're not....

A righteous path is one of belief.

Belief in what you are here for.

Believing that happiness is the key to fulfilling your destiny.

We are all different beings with different goals for happiness.

Take a long hard look at yourself and what your happiness goals are.

Ask yourself, "will that be enough to make me happy?"

Happiness is a choice, just like the 4000 sq ft house for 2 children.

We really need very little to live, and even less to survive.

So when asked if you could have anything in this world, anything at all, what would it be?

How much would you ask for?

What could it be that would help you to figure out your meaning of life?

What would make you happy?

This word is new to me, yet the notion of it is ingrained in my consciousness.
For many years, right back to my childhood, I have been pondering this notion....
And yet, I have felt it for reasons I am unable to make clear sense of....
Many of my uncles, aunties, cousins and even siblings have traveled the world down through the years but none without destination or design that I am aware of.
This word is a revelation to me!!
For many years I thought I must be crazy...
The notion of heading to one place or another somewhere over the horizon, not yet decided in this present moment...
Clinging tightly to.... trust!?
Ha Ha!!
Crazy? Well... probably!
Not normal? Well.... As a good old friend of mine once said... "Show me normal, and I'll show you a liar".... Ha Ha!!! I truly love that statement BC.

So, I must Trust...

Trust my destiny unfolds with cause bringing me ever closer to my unknown destination...
Where I am to be....
At that right time...
For that right reason...
To do that or hear that or witness that one thing... Or not...
Maybe the whole purpose is to be "there"...
Wherever "there" is...
The idea of this has been a kind of dream of mine, and for many people out there I'm sure.
To trust in ones journey so implicitly without destination, To just be in every moment, every step, every breath...
Its an amazing notion indeed.

"To travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination"

A total leap of faith!

Sometimes in life we must take a leap of faith.
For many out there, that leap of faith is much closer to home and yet every bit as blindfolded as my leap of faith.
Your migration, Your new job offer, You new marriage proposal, Your new baby plans, Your first home etc....
A leap of faith is always a total trust that everything will be OK, and will be as it was meant to be...
So, I have no true idea why I am going or where, or how long for.
From there, my mystery will unfold, moment by moment, experience by experience, until I feel that my purpose has been completed.
Some may say it is an early mid life crisis...

Ha ha!!

Well... So what if it is?

I am the one jumping!!

Nothing
To say one has nothing,
"I only have my dreams",
But THAT nothing is never,
As bad as it seems.
​Every thing in this world,
One day had to start,
At first was a dream,
That came from the heart.
​From nothing comes everything,
Any thing you can see,
Even this moment here and now,
With just you and me.
And Now you may wonder,
Even start to believe,
If you live in your dream,
Will you start to receive?
​Every thing is nothing,
All Infinity,
A beautiful vacuum,
Of possibilities.
​Come build your dream,
Wish from the start,
And I'll bid you sweet nothings,
From the bottom of my heart
