Today’s Mandala Message: What Makes Your Heart Sing?
This week I’m working through Principle #38 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Fuel Your Success with Passion and Enthusiasm”. I set my intention today to ponder what brings me joy. Canfield states: “Pay attention, too, to those times outside of [your job] when you feel the happiest, the most joyous, the most fully engaged, the most acknowledged and appreciated, and the most connected with yourself and others. What were you doing at those times? … Those events are indicators of ways you can bring passion into your life outside your day-to-day work. It tells you what you would be happiest doing with your time.”
I think of those times as times that make your heart sing. I’m blessed in that creating mandala art and doing intuitive readings for people make my heart sing _and_ it’s my job/work/career. Outside of my job my heart sings when I’m spending time with family and friends, hugging our dog Simon, performing in a play, doing improv, singing, making people laugh, playing games, spending time on the Oregon coast, enjoying my favorite foods, reading mystery/thriller novels, watching movies, sitting in our backyard…just to name a few.
A good mindfulness practice would be to notice when your heart sings…what are you doing?
So what about you? What makes your heart sing? What brings you joy? Can you do more of that?
“Do anything,
— Walt Whitman
but let it produce joy.”
