"I used to live according to the belief there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Now I realise I create the pot....and the rainbow." Anonymous
I came across the above quote today and it made me think...
Being happy and fulfilled in this world is what most of us would like; achieving certain ambitions, being content, contributing something to the world and sharing joyful experiences. We want to enjoy life to the full.
On numerous occasions in my blog I have talked about how we have the means within ourselves to enhance our sense of well-being and change the direction of our life if we so wish. It is up to us. The first considerations should be to understanding what it is that we truly want that resonates with our heart felt desires rather than head held ideals. The more generously we give of our time and commitment to discover this, the more we get back in terms of self knowledge and our understanding of our innate motivating power. By realising the nature of what inspires and enthuses us and giving time to think of it and even visualise ourselves in the desired situation, we are sending out energy that will attract this quality of life towards us. We are part of an awesomeness environment, interacting in a constantly moving melee of activity; influencing each and every one of us individually as well as collectively. One affects all and the whole affects the individual. This ‘network’ allows us to interact on many levels beyond the normal everyday means of communication and we find that just by thinking we are energizing the topic of our thoughts which in turn brings movement to our situation.
By learning to listen to our instincts and fulfill our Purpose (the activities that reflect our strongest interests and which resonate most strongly in our heart) we are able to live the dream; the life we’ve always wanted. But to be fully aware of our senses and to be sensitive to our intuition requires our body and mind to be functioning at its best so attention to our health and general well-being is essential. When we are in tune with our environment and ‘going with the flow, the things that truly matter most to us can come our way with little effort and the most fortunate of situations can occur as if by magic.
By following our instincts we are in touch with our inner guide and the path of our Purpose leads us into new and exciting territories that we may never have anticipated, yet provide the arena where we can make best use of our own unique combination of talents, skills and attributes. There is a special role for us to play in the Universal scheme of things; a role that allows us to give what we best have to offer, a role that lets us participate to our full, that allows us freedom to express ourselves, to laugh and enjoy every minute of our days. Living our unique role gives us the chance to be in harmony with our environment and by giving from our heart we can share and benefit from the gifts the Universe provides in ways we could not imagine.
Whether we wish to simply add something new, subtly shift the balance in our already happy life or make major life changes, tuning into our heart and listening more to our inner voice will help guide us in the right direction. We each have the book of answers inside of us. All we need do is enquire within. Our subconscious knows what is best, so by allowing it to speak and by being more intuitive and aware of the opportunities that come our way, we can shift our experience of life onto an ever uplifting plane of joy and contentment.
By choosing to follow our heart, we are starting along a road that will be the most exciting, most fulfilling and so appropriate for us, that we are likely to feel that we are living our dream. We really do create our own pot of gold.....and the rainbow.
