Where the Hell is Mark?

An artist friend Cher Odom, who is known for her whimsical paintings, shared the following  from the book Your Soul’s Plan by Robert Schwartz:

"And when Christina returns to spirit, the effects of her lifetime will continue to ripple across the physical plane.  Like a hand on a clear window, each of our lives leaves fingerprints that endure long after the touch.  Some of our energy lingers in the thoughtforms of which Cassandra spoke; all of it echoes across time and space, affecting not only those who share Earth with us when we are here, but also those who will follow."

"Each of us is a seed that was planted within our world's current vibration.  When we raise our own frequencies through the growth produced by life challenges, we raise the world's frequency from within.  Like a single drop of dye added to a glass of water, each person alters the entire hue.  As we create feelings of joy, even if we do so while living alone on a mountaintop, we emit a frequency that makes it easier for others to be joyful.  As we create feelings of peace, we resonate an energy that helps to end wars.  As we love we make it easier for others, both those whom we meet and those who will never know of us, to love.  Who we are is therefore far more meaningful than anything we may ever do."

"... each of us has an impact that far exceeds our knowing.  Our ability to affect the world so forcefully is equally a wonderful opportunity and a great responsibility."

Cher shared this gratitude with me...
I have no clue if the message radiates with you as it does me (on a very deep level) but I felt the need/desire to share. Your FB posts are a clear example of how you touch other souls long after your post/thoughts have been shared. We never really know exactly the power of the energy we send out through the world and to those close to us.

I love "Where The Hell Is Matt?" videos and the songtrack (Trip the Light sung by Alicia Lemke, composed by Garry Schyman) conveys the worldwide togetherness illustrating the feeling of  this essay's theme.

I know we all are connected, some more deeply than with others.  I know we affect those around us directly and indirectly.  We teach our children by how we live our lives.  We give permission to those around us to share their essence more by how we show up in life authentically with vulnerability.

This connection we all have is something that I am aware of and therefore feel a responsibility for.  I not only owe it to myself to live the best, meaningful, and loving life I can but also to those around me.

As I muddle through life, I keep looking to get to that place of feeling that I am living my life's purpose and making a positive difference in this world.  I want to feel some sort of satisfaction or even joy in this process. 

I think that I may be looking for this ideal rather than what really would a realistic fit for who I am.  I suspect that this is more common for people than any of us care to admit to.  I believe that is a big part of my grand journey, to fully accept myself which means to not only accept where I am at in life but to fully embrace it.  I suspect this acceptance of being OK with how I am living my life insofar making a difference is the main aspect of loving myself.
