We like to think there is separation between the body, the mind, and the spirit, but there isn’t such a separation really. And, we also like to think there is a separation between our work, our home, family, friends, our community, money, and the environment, but again, there isn’t.
Everything is intertwined. Everything affects everything, and everything is connected.
True spirituality is a life where the sacred is expressed through all aspects of your life, including your job.
So many people are dissatisfied doing what they do, because their spiritual and professional lives are kept separate.
What are the things you can do that permit you to have a larger experience doing what you do? Larger in the sense that it connects you to something bigger than you, something you believe in, something you have faith in. Doing so allows you to experience so much more fulfillment and meaningfulness through your job.
Think about this.
Do you treat your job as an an opportunity to grow and to contribute to society in a meaningful way.
Do you care for your co-workers, have compassion for your organizations customers and enjoy the support of others ?
Do you believe in integrity?
Do you rejoice being true to yourself and to others at your job?
There are no right answers. There are just questions, to help you open up your mind to help grow your spirit.
I certainly dont intend for one to make big changes in ones life like quitting jobs, changing career paths and becoming a hippie! That actually is a short cut to nothing path. But I do intend that we each identify what part of us needs more alignment with our core values , our core beliefs, and use that to put ourselves on a path which helps bridge that gap while we work our careers.
