Action and purpose Can one exist at it’s epitome without the other? This is the question that repeatedly ran through my mind this past birthday.  Yes, it is odd that on my birthday that would be the repeated thought other than how plastered I’m ALLOWED to be on the special day, but I’ve found that with each year that passes, the more pensive & sentimental I seem to grow. Call it a tug of war between hanging on to “the good old days”  and searching for anything to make every moment more memorable, but it’s happening and I’m not so mad at it. The more thought and energy that I put into an answer the more I find, in my personal case, that the two must go hand and hand to be of their full potential. I guess this question comes about in deep reflection of my third decade of life, seeing as this is my last year in my twenties. Looking back at that headstrong, blonde haired kid that thought he had the world by the balls and nothing but time on his side, I can’t help but laugh and be proud of the journey. But through this journey,  I remember certain moments of being heavy with purpose but taking no immediate action and vice versa. I remember times where I had such a clear picture on what, when, and why but did nothing about it. And times where I was DOING EVERYTHING I thought I could to move ahead, to expand my life into a deeper richness but had no clear vision of what that richness was or could be. Finding the purpose for your life, the reason of your existence, the way you fit into the puzzle, opens an entirely new way of living, if you DECIDE TO LIVE ON THAT KNOWLEDGE. There is never a time when it’s too late to fulfill your calling. It’s yours! So no matter how long it takes you to get there, there are always accessible actions of making it happen. But what about the times when you are ready for action and the vision of purpose seems a bit foggy? Well, in my experience so far, it’s the action that has helped with that directly. There’s nothing like experiencing something first hand and being able to say to yourself “okay that’s not my thing” or “oh my God I loved that”. It’s going to be hard finding a purpose and vision if you are afraid to take risks. For me it was impossible. A journey is never accomplished by simply mapping out all possible routes. Sure it helps, but you must eventually take the steps and cover your distance. So I encourage you, no matter what age you are, to act. Especially if you have a clear vision of where you want to be. GO!  Even if the purpose is to just shake things up and change your scenery. Trust in your heart of hearts. It speaks with you everyday. It’s your mind that brings in that classic argument of fear and logistics, but in your heart you KNOW because you feel it. As the old saying goes, trust your gut. When there is a lil nervous energy about new ventures and decisions, embrace it. Change is often met with a bit of resistance and questions, but as you know it is inevitable. The seasons have an amazing relationship of acceptance with their changes each year, we should follow their example. Let love lead. Until next time, tWitch

Action and purpose

Can one exist at it’s epitome without the other?

This is the question that repeatedly ran through my mind this past birthday.  Yes, it is odd that on my birthday that would be the repeated thought other than how plastered I’m ALLOWED to be on the special day, but I’ve found that with each year that passes, the more pensive & sentimental I seem to grow.
