Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm we are following our "legent"

However we dont all have the courage to confront our own dream.
There are four obstacles...
First:we are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible.We grow up with this idea,and as the years accumulate,so to do the layers of prejudice,fear and guilt.There comes a time when our personal calling is si deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible.But its still there.
If we have the courage to disinter dreams,we are then faced by the second obstacle :love.We know what we want to do,but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order to pursue our dream.We do not realize that love is just a further impetus,not something that will prevent us going forward.We do not realize that those genuinely wish us well wants us to be happy and are prepared to accompany us on that journey.
Once we have accepted that love is stimulus,we come up against the third obstacle: fear of the defeats we will meet on the path.e who fight for our dream suffer far more when it doesnt work out,because we cannot fall back on the old excuse "oh well i didnt really want it anyway" We do want it and know that we have staked everything on it and that the path of the personal calling is no easier than any other path,except that our whole heart is in this journey.
Then the warriors of light must be prepared to have patience in difficult times and to know that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how.
I ask myself: are defeats necessary?
Well necessary or not they happen.When we first begin fighting for our dream,we have no experience and make many mistakes.The secret of life though is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
So why is it so important to live our personal calling if we are only going to suffer more than other people?
Because once we have overcome the defeats -and we always do-we are filled by a greater sense of euphoria and confidence.In the silence of our hearts,we know that we are proving ourselves worthy of the miracle of life.Each day each hour is part of good fight.We start to live with enthusiasm and pleasure.Intense unexpected suffering passes more quickly than suffering that is apparently bearable;the latter goes on for years and without our noticing eats away at our soul until one day we are no longer able to free ourselves from the bitterness and it stays with us for the rest of our lives.
Having disinterred our dream,having used the power of love to nurture it and spent many years living with the scars,we suddenly notice that what we always wanted is there,waiting for us,perhaps the very next day.Then comes the fourth obstacle:the fear of realizing the dream for which we fought all our lives.
Oscar Wild:
"Each man kills the thing he loves"
And its true.The mere possibility of getting what we wants fills the sou of the ordinary person with guilt.
We look around at all those who have failed to get what the want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either.We forget about all the obstacles we overcame,all the suffering we endured,all the things we have to give up in order to get this far.I have known alot of people who,when their personal calling was withing their grasp,went on to commit a series of stupid mistakes and never reached their goal- when is was only a step away.
This is the most dangerous of the obstacles because it has a kind of saintly aura about it:renouncing joy and conquest.

And as the seasons come and go, here's something you might like to know.  There are fairies everywhere:  under bushes, in the air, playing games just like you play, singing through their busy day.  So listen, touch, and look around - in the air and on the ground.  And if you watch all nature's things, you might just see a fairy's wing.
