What Are We Here To Do?
Our hearts are begging us to listen.
After months of searching, I got this simple yet profound message…
Spread Joy and Be Light.
I can do that! That sounds easy enough, I said out loud.
It’ll be a ride in the park, I Imagined — a breeze caressing my skin, surrounded by the scent of flowers blooming alongside the road.
Instead, it felt like riding a roller coaster without a seatbelt.
I usually have a cheerful disposition, but for the past few months maintaining a high spirit has been a bit challenging, to say the least. I was ready for a change. The short and sweet message, delightful even encouraged me to dive deeper into my heart.
This pushed me to reflect on my state of being and to be honest with myself. I knew the only way to spread joy was to be “it”. We can only share what we have within.
This journey took lots of hard work, tons of patience, and constant awareness. As I encountered resistance, fear, and isolation.
In isolation, I contemplated my biggest fears and my resistance to feel pain. I focused on healing my body, quieting my mind, and freeing my soul. Throughout this time I went from apathy to sympathy, and finally to grace.
