How To Spark Your Zeal When It Feels Like You’re Being Pulled in Two Directions
“I flow with balance, blending purpose and play with ease.”
I don't know about you, but I still can't believe September is here.
As we make our way through this month, we’re still shaking sand from our shoes and savoring the sweet and slow summer days we shared with family and friends — yet, our busy schedules are calling us forward once again.
It’s that gentle transition between purpose and play, where we crave exciting momentum without losing the gentle softness we rediscovered.
That’s where the Temperance Card comes in — the keeper of sacred balance in the Tarot.
Temperance reminds us that balancing purpose and play is a true power move. When we stop trying to choose between one part of life or another, and instead make space for both, we shift into a new kind of energy.
This September, rather than rushing back into constant go-mode or wishing the playful days of summer hadn’t ended, what if you chose to integrate? Balance doesn’t come from choosing one over the other — it comes from letting both have a place in your life.
✨ Let family fuel your leadership.
✨ Let your purpose at work overflow into your home.
✨ Let your days be a glorious, intentional dance of rhythm — not disharmony.
Life begins to feel more aligned when we stop forcing results and start allowing what’s meant for us to arrive. That’s also often when the magic of abundance clicks into motion — not because we’re doing more or less, but because we’re finally letting things flow together.
Here’s to a September of soulful structure, golden balance, and Zeal that seeps into everything you touch.
May you move through this season trusting that you don’t need to choose either/or to live a meaningful life. When you give yourself permission to hold both, you create more room for joy, purpose, and abundance to meet you right where you are.
And if you’re craving even deeper alignment in the spaces where you live and lead, this is exactly the work I bring to organizations through my signature keynotes.
