Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to make sure that you understand that most of the time there is no grand purpose in life. Unless you're Alexander The Great or something, you are not born into some destiny or legacy that drives you and consumes you.
Instead, most lives are made up of smaller, manageable purposes, and that's what helps and trips us up all at the same time.
We are impatient, by nature. We have egos, that need to be fed more and more, now that we are all Internet stars. Most importantly, we need to know that we matter.
We need to believe that there is a purpose, a reason we are here, and we want that purpose to reveal itself so we can achieve it already. We are champing at the bit, but the universe never works on your time schedule, and it knows nothing of your destiny.
So ironically, we chase shadows and try to will our destinies into reality, all the while wasting time and energy that could be put towards crafting our own fates.
Life is a million little purposes, one after another, quietly sitting there, waiting for us to mark the achievements off of our list. Our egos tell us that this can't be it. Surely we are meant for something more.
We are. The something more is the sum of all we accomplish, but like everything it is spread out, scattered all through our lives so we never see the whole, at least not until the end. And only then if we know how to look.
We build our lives a pebble at a time, and when we're done we have a monument to who we are. The old adages about “slow and steady wins the race” and “Rome wasn't built in a day” are all too true, but we somehow think that we are exempt from these rules.
So we fret and worry, and charge ahead when we think we see fulfillment or glory, only to find that there are no shortcuts once again.
The stars want you to know that you possess something better than a grand destiny, better than some all important purpose: you have a plethora of them. Your purposes are multitude, you are not pinned to one set fate.
You will touch many lives, you will accomplish so many things, you will matter. You do matter. You are changing the world and you are making a difference. Fulfillment also comes in small dosages.
So instead of looking for a shortcut, for your life's meaning to come in one fell swoop, just fulfill all the smaller destinies sprinkled through your life day in and day out, and stop trying to dictate what they will be.
They will let you know, if you only slow down and listen.
