Giving Yourself to Love


Soul Sign

Soul is unconditionally loving. When your personality is aligned with soul you have commitment. You are committed to express love regardless of the circumstances.



Reflection

Commitment is a promise to some person or ideal that you will be dedicated to them in a supportive and empowering way. You promise to love them or it, and serve the greater good with all the capability you have. You are willing to sacrifice for this love. Who or what are you committed to? How selfless or soulful is your commitment?

As far as animal totems go, Air Totems are some of my favorite. According to legend, when a Yellow Finch is spotted it is a sign that enthusiastic times are head with days full of bright, high energy. I could definitely use some high energy days!

I have never followed a project from point A to point B because I seem to bounce from one thing to the next. This is the same way Finches fly, typically bobbing and weaving through the air. Watching a Finches free-form flight can fill you with a sense of freedom and happiness.

Native America Indians called the Finch the "bird of happiness." They thought the bright yellow color of this bird was a gift from the gods and would bring bright joy and freedom into their lives. They also thought the song of the Finch was the sound that announced the upcoming bounty of the spring season.

If a person has been concealing his or her creativity from the world, Finch may be the sign to start making their value more vocal and available to the public. The Finch sing can lighten your heart and lead you on a bouncy path of creativity.

Finches are also sociable creatures, so a Finch Totem could be a signal to get more involved with social activities. This is a huge area I need to work on, because I'm more of a solitary person, usually avoiding crowds at all costs.

Here's to a bright and shiny New Year where all our hopes and dreams come true.

So true in my life right now

Who Are You?


Soul Sign

Who you are is determined by your essence, not your personality. Your essence is the soul within.



Reflection

Your essence determines who you are, and it uses the personality's mind, feeling nature and physical body through which to express itself. To answer the question 'Who are you?' is the most difficult challenge because your essence, or soul, is infinite. Therefore every answer you give enables you to reveal some insight into who you are. Each day ask yourself this question and reveal an answer. What is your answer today?

How To Know What To Do


Soul Sign

Knowing who you are as a soul reveals why you are here, and what you are to do.


Reflection

If you know why you are here and that becomes the most important and central reality of your life, every choice you make and everything you think and do will reflect that reality. You will truly make a valued contribution to life and to the people in your life. What choice can you make today that would be truly consistent with who you are and make a contribution to others?

Compassion is Not Pity


Soul Sign

Compassion is a central soul expression. But compassion is not just a loving state of being. Compassion also has thoughts and feelings and words and hands.



Reflection

Compassion or unconditional love, do not include feeling sorry for someone or pitying them. When you feel sorry for someone you are disempowering them. You are treating them as someone who is a victim, who is not in charge of their life. True compassion or unconditional love empowers them, accepts the wonderful being behind their woes and acknowledges the soul that they are which is where their power resides. Recognize the difference between your emotional expression of feeling sorry and your compassion and then choose to empower them by recognizing their strengths.

Valuing Someone Gives Meaning


Soul Sign

Showing someone that you value them resonates the soul within them and makes them feel loved and appreciated.



Reflection

The need for love and being valued is so strong because it gives us meaning, and meaning is achieved through being of value to others in relationships. Valuing someone helps them overcome the fear of living a meaningless life - one of the primary adult fears. When was the last time you showed or told someone you valued them for who they were?
