Is It Too Late to Be What You Wanted to Be?

When you were a child, did you have dreams and aspirations of what you wanted to be when you grew up? What were your gifts and talents? What brought you joy?

Did you follow these dreams? Did they turn out like you’d hoped? Is that spark still alive inside you?

The Olympics started this past week. I love watching the Olympics. I might be the only person who cries at the Olympics. When I think of – and feel – everything those athletes have worked for, and how they put it all on the line in this very short period of time – the beauty, the grace, the 100% effort they show up with. Each one is a champion. It’s incredibly moving.

And this little voice hangs out in the background saying “If only you had pursued your dreams. If only you had had the support, the guidance, the direction to go for what you wanted in life… but it’s too late for that now…”

Life takes us on a wild ride. Each of us has purpose, and that purpose may morph at the various stages of our lives, but it doesn’t go away. And it’s not too late to find fulfillment.

As long as we are breathing, the Breath of Spirit is still moving through us, ready to be expressed in this world through our very beings, through our thoughts, our love, our gifts and talents… through our smiles and our eyes and through our kindness.

There is as much for the soul to learn from the missed opportunities as there is from the successes. Each brings a gift that, when realized, can bring fulfillment for the heart and soul. They offer gifts to share with those who need them as much as we do.

In today’s Prayer & Healing Circle, we’ll call on Divine attributes to help us realize the gifts inside at any stage of life, to tend the inner garden in which they grow and recognize the maturity of the fruits within us.

It’s not too late to tend the garden, to harvest and share the fruits you’ve been given – the gifts that you are.

You are welcome to join us for today’s Prayer & Healing Circle. You are welcome to bring your prayers for personal struggles, challenges of and with those you care about, for peace, for fulfillment, and for the health and sustainability of our planet. Please share with your friends and invite them to join us, too.

When you join us live, there will be time for Q&A and individual support at the end of the call.
