Let’s quickly step aside from the relationship aspect of this title. What do you know about longevity in life from a physical standpoint. We know that it’s possible to get burnt out physically. We know the life’s stressors and responsibilities are around us at every moment of the day. We know that this physical world has lots of distractions and lots of freedom/opportunity. We know very well that can continue and chase physical things which cause highs. Short term highs. then we’re back to ground one. Until we receive that physical presence again. The cycle of the highs and lows. Smiling once we’ve obtained something physical and then it becomes more familiar and boring over time until we find the next best things, or more more more.. Continuously chasing sex, money, cars, hobbies, collections, or any other type of fascination that releases endorphins in us when we obtain or work toward that goal. Physical pursuits are good. They’re apart of our survival but they aren’t the only thing that needs to be present for longevity and sustainability of our pursuits
Back to the spiritual side: Higher purpose. Belief in more than what we can see. Feeling things that sometimes words cant describe. hope in what is to come even when the unknown is a high risk. Sitting in stillness and feeling pure joy and gratitude for what is. reflecting on all of the good in our lives at this very moment. Deep breathing and meditation further putting us in touch with our inner purpose and what we’re meant for. Deep walks into the woods and realizations we come to about our lives and what direction we need to take things. The pauses in our routines to simple have presence and calm. Continuously checking in and asking ourselves, “are the actions I take on a day to day putting me closer to the identity of ______ of which I want to become? Are these actions serving my uniqueness and helping me unleash the potential there is within me.
Physical purely by itself does not sustain long term happiness. Spiritual by itself does not necessary sustain long term happiness. A combination of both is quite necessary. We can claim to be spiritual and have the fanciest words, understandings, and realizations about what our lives are meant for, but we do have to take physical action and discipline ourselves to habits and routines that act out the dreams and drive that we’re building inside of our minds. We were put on this earth for a reason. If the physical didn’t matter, then we would all be floating angels in the clouds. There is a reason why we are here on this earth. But we aren’t here forever. Which further makes me think: how do I use this time on the physical earth the way that my unique presence was meant for? How do I leave the best impact? How do I treat people and want to be remembered for? What will I leave that continues to give to further generations? How do I build a family that will continue to live on, procreate and be empowered to change the earth in which I set the tone for? All great things to think about that are lots deeper and further than just a simple physical answer or quick high that we can get.
Let’s circle back to the relationship aspect of this: do you know what it feels like to speak soul to soul with someone. Do you know how deep that feeling hits in the chest. Do you know what true connection and fire behind your soul feels like? When you speak to someone’s soul, you see beyond their physical beauty and feel them for who they really are. You see the simplicity of their core. You see the power and healing calm behind it. You feel this and its something you just cant forget. It’s not just the beautiful choice of words. It’s something further than what can be explained sometimes. its still setting in. Something adding to your energy every single morning that you wake up. It’s an extra boost. It’s not something that can be forced. It’s just there and it’s happening. It doesn’t feel like a quick high followed by a low. It feels like a consistent presence. A a mark on the soul. A life changing interaction. This is what I mean when I talk about something further than the physical. The immediate reaction and thought is not to need anything physical. But simply just appreciate the energy that the situation as whole is creating. It’s refreshing. Its peaceful. It’s clear. It’s reassuring. It’s powerful. And it’s something more powerful than anything physical around me. The guns, the ego, the toxic masculinity in society and whatever you name it: there is no power equal or even close equal to the power of a soul speaking interaction. It’s one that you know you will fight for. It’s one that you know will remain. its one that you know you will resist the temptations of life for. Because really soul connections are ones that sustain in the hardest and best of times both. Not knowing more than simply: this is apart of my purpose. This is the type of thing worth fighting for in the long term. This is in line with who I am and what I’m about. This is on the same wavelength as me. This is worth putting full effort toward. this is what I mean by understanding when something is serving your soul versus something just serving a physical short term high. The high is fun at times. It’s great at times. But it’s not long term what is going to lead to fulfillment and true happiness. There will never be enough. when you find something or something that fires your soul up, you think about it day and night. simply daydreaming about it brings you so much joy. Hold this energy close. Its rare. Its meant for you.
Soul serving or physical serving. I’ll choose the soul servings in life. One thing is for certain: they require work. Work that is worth it. Not simply chasing something and stressing out ever decision just to gain a benefit or reach a high. This is why people in poor jobs, or unhealthy relationships are constantly in a state of burn out and low energy. They aren’t vibrating on a wavelength that radiates the light. They’r beat down by the stresses of the situations which are not moving them in the right direction, emotionally beating them down, or not allowing for an open safe place to reach a high unlimited potential. This is another big point. We can not grow in a situation that limits our soul. How are you being treated? Are you valued? Are you respected? Are you compliment and encouraged? Are you supported? Thee are the questions we need to ask ourselves when it comes to our careers and our closer relationships. We spend 40 hours a week or more at a job. Outside of that: we’re around people that we claim are our friends or loved ones. Two things that need strong purpose and soul firing energy are our careers and our relationships.
What If we sat and wrote down what it was our soul needs? Is that an easy thing to do? Maybe for some. Maybe extremely difficult for others. All I know is this: Lots of things at this stage of life are lining up with my soul. They’re not adding to my stress meter. The energy meter is staying full. Sure some days are exhausting and difficult. But I don’t claim them as “stressful.” Theres a big difference I do believe. If we’re continually being stressed out by the same thing over and over, is that stressor actually worth it? Because if it was: for example: doing diapers for your child. Is that stressful? Potentially at first. But it doesn’t become a continuous activity that stresses parents out. Why? Because it’s part of the higher purpose. It’s necessary. It’s moving the child toward a more productive further. It’s part of a parents deeper high duty to serve. I hear lots of people who are unhappy for a very long time claim to be “stressed by this, stressed by that.” I’m thinking, “is this stress worth it to you?” Because if the challenges and hard times are apart of a beautiful purpose in which you’re apart of, they aren’t always viewed as stresses. They’re challenges that are necessary. When you’re in a beautiful relationship that is 100% worth it to your soul, we aren’t walking around sayin, “my partner stresses me out, my relationship is stressful.” I would imagine that we would say things along the lines of, “things are challenging at times, we work together to find resolutions to our conflict.” But do you see the difference there? Stressors versus necessary challenges. Stressors simply spinning our wheels and being drained over and over by mindless things… challenges are necessary difficulties and hardships that are apart of the puzzle when it comes to our soul reaching relationships and endeavors. Hard stuff can be worth it. Very worth it. Perspective.
All thoughts here. Things that were on my mind recently in relation to relationships, soul serving actions versus non soul serving actions. Stresses versus purposeful challenges. All good things here. Reflection. Gets us thinking. Thats all for now. Feels great to get these thoughts out of my head and down onto this document. what good are they if they’re only up here In my head. they’re thoughts to share with the world. let it flow.
