Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.

I'M NO FOOL, THIS CARD I'M GOING TO PLAY!


Be it strange or coincidental, the universe seems to be flooding me recently with inspirational food for thought on subjects that I have been writing about on Wrights Lane -- i.e. being your true self, coffee as a source of inspiration, purpose in life...Post it on this blog site and a dozen other eerily related story ideas present themselves out of the blue.

As a for instance, due to my belief that hidden within all of us is a reservoir of talents and natural strengths waiting to be released, I have been pursuing the subject of Tarot Card reading with a numerologist. Within hours of publishing my most recent blog effort I'VE FULFILLED A PURPOSE AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT, I was presented with a rare opportunity to make a single selection from a deck of Tarot cards. Without knowing it, I picked a card  bearing the intimidating label "The Fool".

As one who often signs off literary efforts by quoting a line from William Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, "Still more fool I shall appear by the time I linger here..." I could not help but think, how appropriate!

Here is the message behind "The Fool" card -- and it had everything to do with the subject of "purpose" that I had just committed to Wrights Lane.

The Fool

You might feel stupid, but you have the ability to grasp the truth of a matter, and today The Fool is urging you to follow your gut.

The Fool (pictured above) seems to be heading for a cliff. He’s blissfully unaware that he might take the next step and fall into the abyss. Behind him there’s a dog, trying to warn him that he might take a mis-step, but The Fool trusts his intuition. He believes that nothing will touch him - and that’s the hope that keeps him going. And that’s exactly the hope you should be clinging onto today. 

Things won’t go wrong, as long as you trust your gut. That might mean taking a leap of faith - but it also means that you need to keep your eyes on the prize. You need to keep in mind what your own inner truth is.

Riding the Waves: If you decide to listen to other people you’re likely to take the wrong step. That’s when things will turn out worse than you want it to. You need to stay true to what you want out of life. There’s nothing that can harm you if you just stick to your promises and follow your intuition. But that isn’t always as easy as it seems.

A Leap of Faith: Sometimes you have to take a leap into the unknown and see what happens. You need to go ahead and trust your gut to guide you through the toughest situations. It isn’t always easy - but it is possible. The universe will be there to catch you when you fall. It will be there to give you exactly what you need when you need it.

It might be hard to believe - but there is a purpose to your life. There is a reason you’re drawn to do certain things. It’s your responsibility to remember what your soul’s purpose is on this planet. To remember why you came here in the first place.

It’s true that we all come from somewhere else and that we are sent to this world with some kind of purpose to fulfil. What you need to do is trust that fulfilling your purpose will bring you all the joy and harmony you are seeking from life.

Haters will hate: 
This one really hit home for me because I've been known to unintentionally rub people the wrong way. 

There will always be people that don’t agree with you. But it’s up to you to decide whether you’re going to allow their unique purpose to run - or ruin - your life. There are things you need to take care of for yourself. There are things you need to do without telling anyone what your plan is or where you’re heading. Because sometimes that’s the only way to really get to the bottom of what you’re here to do.

It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you know in your heart that it’s the best thing for you to do at that point in time. Know that things will work themselves out over time. All you need to do is keep hope in your heart and allow yourself to do the things that you need to do for yourself.

Of course you should never be selfish about it, but in the end it’s your life and you need to live it in the way that makes you happy. You can’t run around fulfilling other people’s purposes for them all the time. Sometimes you have to focus on what’s best for you and your life.

So be a bit silly today and let your hair down. Let your inner child come out to play for a while. Relax and have some fun with friends and family. Try your best to reawaken the hope that’s been subdued by external events. 

Who cares what other people think about you. This is about you and what’s best for your life, soul and happiness.

Message from Dick: Wow, that reinforcement was indeed deep and well received. Don't get me wrong, I do not intend to become a Tarot card fanatic, but if this reading is any indication...
