A Higher Calling
Our focus this week — July 23–30: “Duty”
Today’s MotD: A Higher Calling. Another way to approach “doing what we must” when we don’t feel like it is to see it as a “higher calling”…that it serves a greater purpose beyond our awareness. It’s the ripple effect of doing our duty.
We may ask: how is making my bed serving a greater purpose to the world ? Well, when we make our bed, not only are we accomplishing a task on our to do list (which can give us some semblance of satisfaction), we’re also honoring the bed, we’re taking care of something in our possession. We’re honoring the room in which it sits by giving the room some sense of order and appreciation. This is all higher vibrational stuff we’re talking about here.
That energy we’ve created by making the bed then ripples outward throughout our day as well as inward to our subconscious. If making the bed is the only thing we accomplish in our day, that has already put us ahead of not doing anything at all. So while it may seem trivial, it’s more than we realize. Now imagine how much of an effect we can create by “doing more of what must be done”. The possibilities are infinite.
How about you ? Can you change your perspective on those tasks you’ve been putting off to one that sees these tasks as a higher calling ? What’s one task you can do this to right now ? Can you take the first step towards completing that task ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
