If you close your eyes,
Can you see it?
The thing that matters most?
The thing that makes your life worthwhile and encompasses all of your hopes?
It's different for each of us,
Whether a concrete or intangible thing.
It's the essence of what we hold sacred,
The reason our hearts can sing.
For some of us,
It's our children,
Those precious,
Special gifts.
For others,
It's our parents,
The souls who allowed us to exist.
Others live to love their pets,
The animals who brighten their lives,
And many more live for their art,
Their creations helping humanity survive.
So what is the thing that lights you up,
That makes your existence worthwhile?
What eases your load and keeps you striving,
No matter how challenging the trial?
Take a breath and picture it,
The gem in your heart's crown.
Release the breath with gratitude,
Giving thanks for what you found.
Think about the peace this gift gives you,
The joy and satisfaction.
Think about what it adds to your days,
The way it guides the laws of attraction.
We would likely do anything to hold on to this gift,
To keep it safe and well and strong,
To protect and watch over it.
What does it do to your body when you give it your full focus?
Does it warm your heart or stir your mind,
Or just give you something to trust?
The things that make us joyful also give us strength.
They remind us what to hold on to and what to keep at length.
Inhale and pull the power of love inside.
Exhale and bow to share the best you can provide.
Whatever you choose to give the world,
And whatever it gives you in return,
The impact grows in both directions because of the love lessons you learn.
So your vision is important,
The treasures you see have meaning,
And the sights you end up holding most dear are proof the universe is intervening.
It points us to our greatest good,
To what we're meant to give.
It rewards us when we zero in and find purpose as we live.
Acknowledge your blessings,
Dear one.
Feel them with you at every step.
Build your world around what you love.
Know there's always more you can accept.
Breathe in and pull your priorities close,
The gifts that shape your life.
Release that breath on a wave of love,
And prepare for more gifts to arrive.
Namaste,
Beautiful.
