Living life to the fullest

Tending the garden of the heart - Day 105

We've now harvested most of our peas. What we've discovered is that these peas are so fresh they're even tasty when eaten raw. The first set was cooked in coconut oil which added quite a delightful flavour to it. Now, we've skipped the cooking process, just open the pods and enjoy their natural flavour. Some plants have reached their full maturity and began to dry from the roots up. We uprooted these and set them aside for compost for the garden.

Our pea plants have lived and fulfilled their innate life purpose - bearing peas. These peas have nourished us as a healthy addition to our diet. There is no more to do. There work is done. We have pleasant memories of our harvest and we would definitely add peas to our garden again.

When you live your life with purpose, you are an added nourishment to the social diet of society - whether emotional, spiritual, physical or mental - you are a welcome addition to the lives of others. Once you have come to full fruit bearing maturity and it's time for you to pass on, you would have left a legacy behind that others could continue on because of what you have done. The memories of your work are the footprints left behind as compost, nourishing the lives of those you've impacted.

What memories were you designed to leave behind? What unique flavour do you have that's different from others? What would you choose; to let your aroma and essence leave with you when you die or would you allow the world to see what you were put here to do?

Everyone has that 'it' inside of them that makes them sing or dance. You may just have to remove the debris that's blocking you from seeing it. But if you are determined to living life to the fullest that which is your driving force, your energizer will emerge.

Living life on purpose

Living your life on purpose comes from a different perspective as you walk with the Spirit. You live from within outward as opposed to outward in. Instead of reacting to outward circumstances and see them as a basis for your response, you come from within and respond in accordance to the Spirit within.

Living this way may seem contrary to societal behaviours of reacting to adverse situations in a negative manner. As we take on the personality of the Spirit, which is our true nature, our responses become expressions from the heart of love.

Your perspective on situations and people changes and so does your tolerance of others. You see others are you see yourself. You feel for others as for yourself. Therefore, as you use your gifts and talents, you use them not only for yourself but for the benefit of others.

Ordinary gifts and talents when immersed in the soil of the Spirit and given away to others, with the intention of enhancing their lives, will be endued with the multiplication miracle working energy to perform extra ordinary acts of kindness. In return, your life becomes enriched with inner peace and contentment in abounding measures.

Your immeasurable value to others as a light source empowers them to living life on purpose and allowing their light to shine brightly.

Living life connected to Source

Once you've come to the realization that your life is in God and God in you and you are one with God, then, how does one live connected to the Source?

You become and remain connected to Source by making the decision to connect to God as a way of life. Not only connecting as a one-time event or on an occasional basis but regular constant walking in and with the Spirit, where friendship and relationship is developed as you become acquainted with and accustomed to the inner voice and signals. There you find wisdom for every situation.

Does living life connected to Source mean that you succumb to boredom and give up all that is exciting?

To the contrary, when you live life connected to Source you turn inwardly to experience the contentment you desire and in turning inwardly to truth you find your true self and true meaning to life.

When you listen to and are guided by Spirit, you are directed to different avenues that lead to deep inner fulfillment. You find those channels along the lines of your personality and all events of your life that does not outwardly manifest who you are and who you are becoming begins to naturally fall away and become distasteful. Those activities may be alright for others, but you are transforming and therefore certain activities may no longer be a part of the weave in your tapestry.

In this process of transformation, new friendships may be formed as old ones fall away or evolve to a new level. Don't expect to be and feel the same once you've embarked on this journey.

Before a butterfly comes into its full beauty it goes through several stages of complete change and so will you, which is a natural process. Move with the flow and don't give in to the resistance. Know that all roads lead to your good and Divine Wisdom and Omniscience knows the way to the fullness of Divine Magnificence in and through you.

Dadspiration: I live with and walk in Spirit fulfilling my purpose and living to the fullest in every area of my life.
