Life Purpose: Choosing One Path Among Many

Hi Cynthia.
My question is about life purpose. Mine, in particular. I was given many talents & aptitudes. How do I know what path to pursue -- since selecting one means excluding others.
Thanks.
Chris D.

Dear Chris D.,
The dance of the wind begins with a child taking his first step. The dance of the sun begins with the child learning how to run. The dance of the sea begins when the child learns to jump. There is not only one dance or only one way in which to use your feet.

When the child walks, he still understands running. When the child runs, he still understands jumping. Do one thing at a time, and you will see how many ways your soul dances in that one pursuit.

There are practical ways in which to combine interests. Listen to your heart and what it desires the most. What will feed your soul the most? The answer to this question is a key to your destiny and what will bring you the most fulfillment.

Your interests will be fed -- and your varying gifts used -- by choosing the thing that you most desire. We are multi-faceted, a tree of seemingly separate branches, yet all branches lead back to the trunk. Your desire is like that trunk, branching outward into activity. Align your actions with what you desire, deep in your heart, and the tree of your life will flourish.

Whatever you do will rely on your creativity, your passion, and your humor.

If you wish to explore this further, please give me a call!

Many Blessings,
Cynthia
