Life is meant to be lived

“Life isn’t meant to be lived perfectly…but merely to be LIVED. Boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically LIVED.”

― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

Here’s to walking the sacred ground

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins
“Here’s to walking my own path.
Here’s to claiming my birthright,
my sovereign power.
Here’s to walking the sacred ground.
Here, to break down any walls between the self and the higher calling.
May every prayer be a celebration.”
― Petra Poje – Keeper of The Eye

If love calls you, answer

“Use your time wisely, so that when you look back towards the end of your days you will smile at a life well-lived. Let not your song remain unsung. Do not hold back from sharing your love with the world for fear of lack or thought of a rainy day. If Love calls you, answer.”
― Peter M Parr

Our deepest calling

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

 

“Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks–we will also find our path of authentic service in the world. . . .”

Parker Palmer on “Becoming the Person You Called to Become (Not What the World Wants of You)”

A Gift to be Received

“Today I understand vocation quite differently-
not as a goal to be achieved but as a gift to be received. Discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice “out there” calling me to become something I am not. It comes from a voice “in here” calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God,”

― Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

You can make a difference

“You can make a difference.

You have special skills for a specific mission.

Go forth and fulfill your sacred calling on earth.”

― Lailah Gifty Akita

A Calling Will Become Clearer

“A calling will become clearer when you take the first step. You may not know where it will take you, but to start a journey, all you need to do is to find the right path.”
― R.E.Johnson, The Gift of Evïr

Some things must be pursued

Beware of this about callings

Copyright 2016 by R.A. Robbins

“But beware of this about callings: they may not lead us where we intended to go or even where we want to go. If we choose to follow, we may have to be willing to let go of the life we already planned and accept whatever is waiting for us. And if the calling is true, though we may not have gone where we intended, we will surely end up where we need to be.”
