At one point, all I’d hoped to do was become a thriving writer. Now, all I want to do is retreat into my dream world, bake cookies, do yoga, and be at peace with the here and now.
My astrological source tells me why: ” At this time success and getting your own way will not seem so important to you. You are much more concerned with whether your life serves higher goals and principles than with your own needs.
You will probably stay out of the limelight for the most part, because you are in a rather retiring mood. It is as if the effort of pushing yourself into the forefront would disturb your attempt to find peace, which is more important to you now. This is a time for reflection rather than vigorous action.
As you succeed in quieting the demands of your ego, you will discover the smaller, quieter voices that exist within us all. You may discover that the furious activity that has dominated your life hasn’t really meant much to you, that you did it for others in order to feel better about yourself.”
Too true. All of it. I’m perfectly content doing less-than-fab stay-at-home freelance work so I can sleep, meditate and silence my mind. Beyond that, I am more than content than I’ve ever hoped to be romantically, socially and otherwise. Why not spend this time to live modestly and enjoy each and every moment?
Stress less. Love more. That’s my new life mantra.
