Are you spiritually connected to your job?

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.

Go forward - straight outside your comfort zone

Don't be afraid to boldly go where you've never gone before You might not know how everything works at first, but that doesn't have to put you at a disadvantage. Your fear of the unknown is what fools you into believing that you are a disadvantage though. I promise you, in time, your nerves will stop jangling, and you'll even start to feel a sense of accomplishment once you have taken the path you desire. Take a deep breath, and then step out of your comfort zone—and relish that 'Wow! I can really do this!' sensation Stepping out of your comfort zone is always a challenge, but did you know you have the courage of a Lion (or Lioness) inside you? You just need to dig deeper to find that power within.  And when you do, once you tap into that dormant power – you will be able to make massive positive changes in your life and there will be no looking back.
