The message for this week is focused on planning, self-sacrifice (in pursuit of your goals), and tuning in to your Little Owl for the guidance you need for achieving your dreams and living your path. The first card, Strategy, is pretty clear. Its all about writing things down, keeping a diary and/or a journal, and really fleshing out strategies for achieving your goals this year (or from this point onwards). The compass indicates direction, so if you are unsure about this, now is a great time to figure out which direction you wish to go in, and if you need to make any changes to your current lifestyle in order to follow the path of your dreams. Focus on daily plans for smaller achievements and as part of long-term goals. It is so true that each day is what counts, but having a direction really does help so many of us. As long as we are aware that plans can change, and life can throw obstacles at us that we can never plan for, knowing what your path is can really enhance your individual days. Try not to be overwhelmed by the size of your dreams and know that by doing something for your dreams every day, you can achieve them. The second card is Salmon, and this represents self-sacrifice and wisdom. Going back to last weeks reading, we are not talking about losing yourself in the midst of your life, but rather to me this idea of self-sacrifice means we may be asked to give up some things which are easy or comforting for us but we know to be holding us back. Procrastination comes to mind, because I am as good at it as many of us. Start sacrificing those little activities that may feel quite good, but are preventing you from doing that which you need to do if you are ever to realise your dreams. Salmon also represents the idea of perseverance and trust in yourself...do not let others influence your actions or your dreams...some may think they have your best interests at heart, but it is not their path to tinker with. And others may not be thinking of you at all but of their own needs or ends. Do not let them hold you back another second, another day!!! Just stay true to your vision and your passions, and if anyone or anything falls away, trust in your own heart to tell you if it is right or not. Our third card is Contemplation, and this card encourages us to spend time in nature, and in a quiet place and state of being, asking questions about our path and our steps, and allowing the answers to come to us. We already have the answers we need for our lives, and the answers are always and only fully within ourselves. Others may hit upon them when we ask their advice, and if their advice resonates that indicates what answer is within. Sometimes we just dont trust the answers, we dont trust ourselves enough, and for whatever reasons we are afraid of the consequences of acting upon those answers...but what is more daunting? Acting on the answers, getting closer to realising our dreams, but perhaps having to let go of habits, behaviour, even people; or not acting on the answers and being comfortable now, only to wake up in 5, 10, 20 years or so to find ourselves dissatisfied and feeling like we missed the boat? So this is the week, the month, the time in, not only the calendar year, but also our lives to come up with a strategy for achieving our goals and realising our dreams. Every day is a great day to start from, and every day is a canvas on which we write our stories and map our paths. Happy mapping, trailblazing, and contemplating your steps. Have a wonderful, insightful, and productive week Oracle Owls!
