As you move down the path of life, you will find that there
are three elements involved in the journey. It was planned (with your
permission) to be this way.
The first element is your life’s purpose. This is the map
that guides you in a general direction. You have a choice of roads to take, but
they all lead to the same place, unless you turn from your purpose. As your
purpose was your choice, you will find your life more difficult when you do
this.
Your clever, magnificent soul, will find creative and powerful
ways to bring you back to your purpose, most of which you will not find
pleasant, so best to stay on track.
The second element is work. Work is the walking. You can
decide to take a steeper, winding path and work harder, or a smooth, level,
straight path that will require less effort, but whichever you choose, work is
necessary. This may come to you as study, dedication or a day job that will
give you the resources to achieve your goal. Ideally, your path or goal will
become your job, but you may have some learning to do along the way. Learning
and study make the experience of your life’s work more meaningful and easy.
Your soul may have decided to challenge you a bit before you
reach this point. Trust it. When your soul made these plans for this
incarnation, it had a really good vantage point.
The third element is pleasure. These are the flowers and
trees along the path. The sweet forest creatures that land on your shoulder or
nuzzle against you. Life is not meant to be suffering. Those with lots of money
can suffer, those with few possessions can feel joy and appreciation and a love
for life. How much you experience these little (and big) joys is up to you.
To stay in balance, all three elements are necessary. Life
becomes stressful and unbalanced when one of them is focused on to the
exclusion of the others.
For example, you focus only on your life’s purpose and do
not allow yourself to rest or have fun. You will get there, but life will
always be a struggle.
You can focus only on work and feel empty inside because
your life has no meaning and you are not headed in a purposeful direction.
You can get lost in play and fun and become addicted to the
experience, again due to the emptiness of a life without direction.
Fortunately, the remedy is as easy as, just stopping
destructive behavior and seeking balance. Your guides and angels (and we of the
Fae kingdom) want you to have success. Just ask, and we will help you find your
balance.
All work and no play (or the opposite) negates your purpose
for being on this beautiful planet. Find your balance and you will find your
bliss. ~Silas
