I’ve had this idea for a long time that my soul is separated into different elements. Each element corresponds to the way my soul interacts with my human form and earthly surroundings. They each have a unique color and movement. When they’re all out of balance, they blend together creating a murky, black color. In this state, it’s easier for darkness, doubts, and unhappiness to work their way into your life. But when the elements are in a perfect balance, they all vibrate at the same strength and frequency. This complete harmony makes all the elements work together and turn into the most beautiful white you’ve ever seen. In this state, it’s easier to fill your life with light, truth, and happiness.
When it was time to start working on my personal goal list, I knew I should base it on these elements. Not only is this how I normally think about myself and my situation, but I also think it’s a great way to describe everything I believe in. It’s not a coincidence that God is often referred to as light or that white is regularly used as a symbol of purity. White light is a combination of all the wavelengths of light coming together and turning into a simple, singular force. I believe this is exactly what the divine in each of us strives for. Our soul craves that level of equilibrium. And if we can manage to maintain it, then we can live our best lives and experience wholeness.
I created a pretty vague goal for each of the elements, as I’ll be working on them long-term. I don’t want to feel too pressured to do everything perfectly or get everything done at once. There’s no deadline to improve my life; it’s just an ongoing project that I hope will never end. If I need to be more specific, then I can always break each goal down into smaller tasks with realistic schedules.
Now let’s be honest, eight goals is a lot to work on at the same time. But some will be more important to focus on right now than others. I’ll be sharing more on that soon, but for now I’m just happy that I have an actual goal list. I’m proud of how it turned out too! It’s helped me feel more accomplished, organized, and prepared to start taking my next steps. Plus, I finished with plenty of time left to celebrate my birthday with my loved ones.
