What great rewards we can receive when we let life guide us on our path to purpose. Moments and situations seem to flow with a distinct pattern and insight without the force of our own hands. What powerful occurrences take place when we simply stop to allow them to. It is the wave we ride, not go against.
Allowing life to happen doesn’t mean we are to take no action at all. In fact the opposite is said to be true. There is always footwork to be done. We have to meet life half way. The effort you put into yourself and the world around you is what will essentially be returned to you.
We have to recognize opportunity and then if it is fitting to our path, we can then work to obtain it. Allowing life to unfold means we are creating adequate space for life to breathe on its own terms.
Soon we discover that we are surrounded by the appropriate people at the appropriate times. People, places, and things become almost precisely placed in our lives almost like actors and props in a play. We have the ability to embrace these moments and people and take with us the lessons we have learned.
When we let life happen we are admitting to ourselves that there is a universal force surrounding us and our capabilities. Every move we make is part of the intricate make up of our environment, emphasizing how important each of us truly is.
We can listen to this natural movement of life or we can turn a deaf ear and proceed into blindness, never seeking that which we were intended. It is up to us to observe and participate in the orchestrated sequences occurring all around us.
Pay attention to life’s directions at work. We may not have been born with maps in our hands, but we were born with an intuitive sense of direction. It’s up to us to take the time to look at the world around us, understand the options before us, and pay attention to where we feel we truly belong.
Sharing Your Purpose With Others
There is a time for silence and stillness that stumbles upon our awakened state of being. It is at this time we may lurk in the background and move slowly with the wind that carries us. It is through this stillness that we hear ourselves. It is through this silence that we are able to act on our own discretion and recline in our own comfort of both our physical and spiritual existence.
Spiritual Friendships
As we walk along our paths in life, we will encounter several forms of friendships. There will be friends of convenience, friends by association, and friends of the heart. Friends out of convenience are friendships that you might have simply because you both are accessible to one another. These friendships are common in a work or school environment as people are united by place alone. You might even term these friendships as ‘associates’ instead of friends, because you associate with one another because you feel that you have to.
People We Never Will Forget
There are special people that walk in and out of our lives, but leave their footprints behind for us to remember. And what is interesting is that even though distance or years may separate you, you never forget their presence or the memories you shared together.
