PEARLS OF WISDOM: Vitality definition and living a purpose driven life. A 2 Part series from Molly Burke CPCC MSU, Queen of Confidence
Here’s a quick 2 part series about one of the words I really love.
VITALITY.
A glorious word full of possibilities. But what does it mean, and why might you care, anyway?
On the quest for a better understanding of the word, I looked it up in the dictionary. Here’s what I found:
vitality: 1) a. the peculiarity that distinguishes the living from the non living b. the capacity to live and develop; also: physical or intellectual vigor, energy 2) a. power of enduring b. lively and animated character. 3) the capacity to live, grow, or develop. Synonyms: life, stability, strength.
I just love that what makes us alive is characterized as a “peculiarity”. How perfectly splendid.
“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is
translated through you into action, and because there is only one
of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block
it, it will never exist through any other medium and (will) be
lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to
determine how good it is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it
compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it
yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” Martha Graham
So here you are, already possessed of one of the greatest gifts life has to offer: vitality. It is your birthright, and it is up to each and every one of us to safeguard it, to nurture it and cultivate its employ in our day to day lives, lest we be reduced to merely existing.
Most of all, enjoy your glorious vitality. Let it flavor your life and fill your days with abundant energy to fulfill your desires, dreams, and Life Purpose. More on Purpose and vitality in the conclusion of this series. Stay tuned!
An affirmation about vitality: “I, <your name>, act with abundant vitality in the service of my dreams.”
