“If I clear this floor of clutter, what do I get?” my husband asked.

“A clear floor,” I replied.

“What else?”

“My admiration.”

“That’s it,” he said.

“What?”

“The meaning. You make the meaning,” he concluded.

I reflected on this. Being a witch means a lot to me.
It means that I am a child of the Goddess. It’s about being in touch with the natural world around me. …. And more ….

How about you? Where is the meaning in your life?

Here are three insights.

1. Find your best choices.

“You make me happy,” I exclaimed to my cat.
He looked at me confused.
Okay. So, he did not major in the English language.

Does my cat make me happy?

We could say that my interactions with my cat “set the stage” for my experience of happy feelings.

My point is that relying on external events for happiness may be a road to trouble. How?
Often, we cannot control external events. But we can make choices for the small joys in life … That’s my cat!

What are the small joys in your life?

2. Witness how you make meaning.

A girl, Cheryl, is tormented by her older brother. Does she take that as a sign that everything in the world is unreliable and awful?

A different girl, Molly, is tormented by her older brother. But then she asks her parents for karate lessons. Then, she defends herself against her brother. Molly became formidable.

The same first situation. Different meanings and different actions.

How do you make meaning in your own life?

3. Let the Goddess guide you to your Higher Meaning.

You can use a prayer like this.

Goddess,
Lead me to my Higher Meaning.
Guide me on my path.
Clear away useless distractions.
So Mote it be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
