Magnetic Dreams: A Symphony of Visions
"The path unwinding, a lifetime defining;
What fuels your fire, your heart's desire?
Listen within, to passions' din;
They whisper and roar, bang on your mind's door.
What makes you lose track of time?
When work feels like play, night melds into day.
The thing that your spirit is pulled to,
Like a magnet of dreams, visions and do.
That urge in your gut, that spark in your heart,
Fan its flame, give it room, let it start.
It may flicker at first, or even go dark,
Keep feeding its light, give it a spark.
Your passion, your purpose - nurture its glow.
Help it grow roots and branch out and grow.
It may twist, turn and tangle some days -
Press on, trust the process, learn as you blaze.
There will be frustrations and days filled with doubt,
Unclear of the way, head fogged in a cloud.
In those times re-center, come back to the heart.
Why did you start this journey right from the start?
What vision pulled you, what purpose, what mission?
Return to your truth, light your own ignition.
Keep asking the questions, stay open and curious.
As the path unfolds, remain patient and spacious.
There is no one right road, no perfect vocation;
Follow what sparks you, your fascination.
Stay open to learning, changing course as you go,
Ride out the rapids, steer clear of the undertow.
Your passion may morph and grow wings unexpected.
New discoveries lead places undetected.
Enjoy each segment, every twist, turn and bend.
This journey's the point, not a means to an end.
While on your odyssey, don't go it alone.
Community uplifts - find your kindred zone.
Exchange inspiration, collaborate and create.
Support others' dreams, synergies cultivate.
There may be harsh winters of scarce motivation,
Summers of drought, dry spells of stagnation.
Keep reaching out, don't isolate in the dark.
Together renew passion's internal spark.
When passion dwindles, marketing seems just a chore.
Reframe as sharing the gifts you have to give more.
Don't let making money drain passion away.
It's energy exchange for blessings you convey.
Stay true to your purpose, not just profit and fame.
While income's important, it's not the whole aim.
Market from service, add value to people's lives.
Share your gifts freely; abundance arrives.
Don't compete with others; uplift and endorse.
From scarcity and fear inspiration is lost.
Collaborate, cross-pollinate, co-create.
Generosity returns blessings many times great.
As you progress, your skills become more refined.
Don't judge early works too harshly maligned.
Note what you've learned, improvements made since.
Momentum builds in experience gained and lessons.
No matter how skilled, stay a student for life.
Curiosity fuels passion's internal light.
Mentors guide the way, learne'd masters impart,
But your inner sage directs you - follow your heart.
Each day this choice - create for love or gain?
Legacy or fortune, service or fame?
Flow with both can be found with intuition's wisdom;
Passion fueled by purpose, not ego's prison.
As valleys shadow mountains, reversals follow progress,
Stay steady on, discern the lessons.
Challenges strengthen, failures teach too.
Stumbling is learning, not cause to eschew.
Rising, then falling; rhythms ebb, flow and turn.
With each revolution, more mastery earned.
Plateaus provide pause for integrating all you became,
Before next ascent calls you to stretch, risk, reframe.
Discern and check motives in passion's pursuit.
Come from contribution, not proving or refute.
Create to express, connect and grow within,
Not marketshare or trophies made of tin.
Focus less on form and predicted perfection,
More on the process of exploration.
Show up sincerely, pour care into each step.
Purpose fuels passion fuels excellence replete.
This path requires courage, yet trust you'll be guided.
By intuition's wisdom, you'll stay provided.
There is no arriving, just journey unfurled.
Follow your calling to live your soul in this world."
