The Natural Flow of a Grand Design

Our soul can expand like those zoom-in digital images that can be journeyed further and further into to reveal the most extraordinary unfoldings of rich detail. The more we explore down passionate paths that we find truly captivating, the more we activate the wildly rich tapestry of who we can be.

Like any seed in the kingdom of plants, we humans also come with a perfect blueprint of our inherent potential. Our soul is prepackaged with our own architectural plans for magnificence to blossom. The choices we make will determine how fully we bring this personal signature into functional expression and material form.

Why use our limited minds in attempts to design our lives when everything is already so beautifully laid out for us to discover intuitively? The thinking route is so easy to get wrong. Our minds are so readily infiltrated and hijacked by dumb ideas like copying what others are doing, following what would make our parents happy, doing things that will keep us safe and protected, and deciding what will make the most money or secure popularity. There are SO many ways that the mind can completely ruin the potential for an extraordinary life. We must let our hearts offer the primary guidance into the map of our unique soul design.

The treasure of who we are is readily unlocked when we follow our heartfelt longings and desires. Like any good adventure, we must often proceed without any guarantee of where we’ll end up.

Let’s be guided by passions, not plans.

What if we made earnest commitments to honour our yearnings, rather than our calendars?

Where might we end up if we mastered fearlessness amidst the unknown, instead of obedience to the checklist?

Sometimes it’s really great to be determined and push things forward, but too much of that and the magic threads of soulful calling can be drowned out.

It’s important to allow space for the fluidity of dreaming to take shape. And for imagination to have full flight.

Invest in experiences that bring inspiration.

Schedule joy.

Prioritise holidays in new places.

Trust in the meandering path.

Let actions arise from delight.

Relax and allow creativity to emerge.

Trust that unseen forces collaborate with heartfelt intention.

Do all that you possibly can with passionate drive and nothing at all from a fear of lack.

Keep going until there’s a natural finish and relax until the next thread appears.

Trust in the pauses.

Be like nature and grow in sustainable cycles.

Tend to new things gently. Give them time to breathe and unfold.

Sometimes we need to go sideways for a while before catching an upturn.

Momentum can grow effortlessly when our choices are soulfully aligned.

I used to love that brand new early January feeling for setting my goals. I revelled in that practice for years. Now I much prefer being wide open to the fresh possibility of every single day. And I so enjoy treading lightly and remaining unattached in that fresh January territory. I trust that tending to my heart and remaining forever open will bring the ultimate unthinkable satisfactions. Full hearted surrender feels like the most powerful affirmation for bringing magnificence forward.
