A Waltz With Purpose

A WALTZ WITH PURPOSE

‎

‎Time was never meant to wait, and the Creator of time made it so.

‎And if you watch closely, you'll see it -- like smoke rising from a flame; beautiful, eye-catching... but also disappearing fast.

‎

‎You know what else works like that too?

‎Destiny - Purpose.

‎

‎From the spark of a quiet idea, a prompting in the spirit or just a deep knowing...

‎... You can either shape your destiny or let it fade

‎You can hold onto it and make it solid or let it fade away.

‎

‎We always think we have time,

‎'To figure things out '

‎'To get serious later'

‎But 'later' never ends, it keeps moving.

‎And like the mist of smoke from a burning incense, curls higher, thinner and is slowly going.

‎

‎Dear You,

‎Purpose is not a loud knock, it's a gentle dance, a gentle nudge to give life a waltz on the dance floor because it won't wait forever.

‎

‎Stop snoozing on your call,

‎Stop letting fear or 'busy' silence your fire.

‎You are not at this wild party (life) just to pass time.

‎You were made to move with it,

Rising, burning and becoming.

‎

‎So before this incense burns out and the smoke clears, before the music dies down -- dance!

‎

‎Because life has never saved anyone a last dance.

‎
