I have a friend who loves skiing, the powdery slopes are pure happiness for him. A happiness and a joy he follows to distant lands; this year alone he has been to several remote places in Europe, doing what he loves the most, what brings him a sensation of freedom and belonging.
I have curiously followed his journeys, how his presence has affected the places he has visited, how his energy has awoken forces that have long been dormant and how the hidden inhabitants of mountains have delighted in his visits.
The impact he has had on these places, the lands he has with joy adventured in is massive. The light he shines, the pure joy he lives with and the way he unapologetically lives himself true raises the vibration of the very core of the Earth. He is a gift to nature, cherished and protected by the life - visible and invisible - he meets on his travels.
I believe he is utterly unaware of the effect he has on the world. Just as someone I once knew, a brilliant soul, who I now believe works as a marine biologist, is impacting the tides that affect us all. His passion, interest and love for nature is a healing force, a force that through the seas affects the whole planet.
Despite the years and the distance between us, I can still feel him move as one with the ocean, I sense how beautifully he transforms, cleanses, heals and protects the paradise he lives in, was born from and belongs to.
What magnifies their impact, even more, is their passion: the force they throw themselves into the world with and the pure joy that the things they do uplifts in them.
My sister is strongly connected to the earth, where she moves, the inner world of the earth moves with her. Her existence alone, the fact that she lives and breathes, stops to marvel at flowers and smell the fresh air of a new day feeds the earth; gives energy and life to the unseen worlds beneath our feet.
Even though she is wildly conscious and sees energy clearer than anyone I have ever met, I think she too cannot quite comprehend how important she is to the earth.
We rarely see the full effect of our own lives, of our existence; how the life around us celebrates us and all that we give to the world.
Your passions guide you to your purpose
I have met many impactful and brilliant souls in my life, but these two suns on the opposite sides of the world, and my beloved sister, mother earth embodied, are quite rare and brilliant examples of how we with our energy transform the world around us – sometimes knowingly, sometimes completely unaware of our own transforming power. Always following the path we have chosen for ourselves.
For everyone this path is different, some live it consciously and are aware of how they impact the world, while others fluidly and subconsciously follow what is right for them, never quite realizing how they shape the life they live in.
Some souls are born with the sole purpose to give and care, they are brightly shining stars with the sole mission to uplift the energy on the planet. These rare souls often give more than they get, yet they are always beautifully whole, whole in their own light and power. And they, without a doubt, are always drawn to where they are needed, whether it is through work or people or hobbies.
Often the work we do and the places we go to, especially when we are young, affect us more than we do them. There is always an exchange of energy, but the younger we are the more we have to learn and experience, and hence we are often drawn to places, things and people that help us evolve. Help us find ourselves and our soul’s purpose.
Excitement is a life force
We are born to live and only through living, following what interests us, can we live our purposes true. We are born to live with an earth-shattering impact, with joy as our brightest guiding star.
Passion and joy are magnificent forces. Forces that alter the world, forces through which we can make miracles and reshape the reality we live in.
Forces that we sadly often tone down, creative forces that do not quite get to shine as brightly as they could in this modern world.
How often have you found yourself not doing something that would bring you joy because you do not quite have the time? Or some part of you thinks it is not worth it, better to spend money on something useful.
The more we do this, the more we bind the child within, the less we give space and room and power for joy in our lives, for excitement and passion, the less alive we feel. It is as if our life force slowly but surely diminishes, the flame within weakens.
This is because;
Excitement is a life force,
an inspirational power that engulfs everyone around you,
a brilliantly burning flame that sets life on fire,
everlasting energy that blossoms year after year
Your unique path is important
What we are passionate about, what brings us joy, is not random – however big or small, weird or normal the thing itself is. Whenever we do things from our heart, with pleasure, passionately live our interests – ourselves – true, our energy expands, the joy, the uplifting, brightly burning energy we shine is sown into what we do, merging with the world around us, altering the world we live in.
With every breath we alter the world we live in, our energy affects the world and is being shaped by the energy we walk in, constantly working in unison. Always. Whether we are aware of it or not.
Our interests are not random and where they take us is important; even when it sometimes feels random or useless. Even when we cannot directly see the impact we have on our surroundings. Even when we do not understand why they are important or see what we gain from them.
To quote Rumi: When you do things from your soul, you feel a river more in you, a joy. And that river of joy carves through the whole world, carrying new, uplifting, world-altering paths to the ground. Paths through which more joy, fulfilment and abundance flows straight to you, and through you to the rest of the world.
Always trust your passions, let yourself get excited, live the joy. And most of all, allow yourself to move with this river of joy. Let it take you around the world, where you need to be, and where your unique energy is needed.
Let yourself burn,
blossom,
create with full force,
inspiration,
excitement,
joy
in your veins.
Create magical worlds,
worlds where new life can grow,
Where you are at home.
