The #1 asked question in the world: What is my purpose?
Do you ever catch yourself wondering that? Wondering, is there more to life than this? What am I here on earth to do? What is the meaning of my life?
And without answers, it feels like we’re betraying our souls. Like we’re missing something.
It comes with the territory: a spirit born into a human body for about 90 years and wondering why. Why are we here? Most importantly, why are YOU here?
Don’t think, just grab a trash bag and throw away these 100 things:
1. Hotel shampoo bottles
2. That full donation box sitting by your door
3. To Do lists with the same 2 things crossed off for weeks
4. Wine corks
5. Ketchup packets
Spring is the perfect time to open the windows and let fresh air move out the stagnant winter air. It’s time to watch the buds, blossoms and blooms all open to receive. The greens get greener, the browns browner, the blues bluer.
I love spring. It’s a perfect time to awaken to freshness.
Use this change in seasons as a beautiful reminder to mind your mind, and let in some fresh air. To open up, pull out the weeds, plant new seeds, and nurture the growth.
Just like nature awakens to a new, crisp, sunny day, let spring serve as an example to awaken from within. Tara Brach says, “We need to awaken to the constructs of the mind.” See what you’ve been storing in there this past winter (the beliefs, the stories…) and clear it out.
Don’t neglect the mind. Let it be your starting point for spring cleaning.
