Confucius once said, “Choose a Career you love and you will never work another day in your life.”
If you think about this, what a different experience we could have in our work lives. If we actually loved the work we were doing, it wouldn’t seem so much like our traditional concept of work (drudgery/pain).
Think about it! How many jobs have you had that you dreaded going to? What are some of the differences between a job, a career, and your life’s work? Let’s define it.
A job is something you get paid to do (money is the primary motivation).
It is easy to perform because there is Job,career,passionate living and life purpose not much challenge,
and you will eventually find other work to do.
It may or may not fully engage you. Spirit may or may not be present.
A career is something you get paid to do that is viewed as a profession (status or identity is the motivation). It may provide more challenge, but after a while, you may
get burned out, and choose to stop doing it.
It may or may not fully engage you. Spirit may or may not be present.
Your life's work is something you do whether you get paid for it or not (your soul’s
need for expression is the motivation). There is plenty of challenge and personal meaning. You will always want to do it.
It definitely fully engages you. Spirit is present.
Remember that a job can get you started toward your life’s work. In fact, jobs provide the very important element of exposure to different kinds of industries. Take for example, a woman who started out working in a department store as a clerk, who moved into a management position, and finally created her life’s work as an independent contractor who trains others in customer service skills.
To find out if your spirit is working, place a check next to the statements that sound like you in your present work environment.
__Using your life force
__Sharing innate gifts and talents
__Doing work that is meaningful and fulfilling
__In service to other human beings
__Your inner light shines
__You are standing up for something you believe in
__World benefits from what you do
__You have a unique way of doing it
__Creativity, passion, and purpose are present
__Your intentions and actions match
__You are propelled by a larger life purpose
__Integration of being and doing (balance of feminine and masculine energies)
__Soul leads you through the process(there are no instructions, no right or wrong way!)
__You feel lost and unsure of how to make it happen
__Fully engaged, frequent moments of flow inspiration
__You are stepping into your Greatness
__Increased awareness and sensitivity
__Deeper thoughts, higher level thinking
__Questioning the status quo
__You feel energized after a hard day at work
__Inner feelings of peace contentment (like you have found the right path)
__Non-traditional, shatters the box (requires you to venture into unknown territory)
__Opportunity to really express who you really are
__Desire to be surrounded or create beauty
__Freedom to do it your own way
__Discovering skills and talents you never knew you had
__Being scared sometimes
__Desire to "right things"
__You feel turned on,lit up, excited, enthusiastic
__No longer willing to settle for ordinary or mediocrity
__Longing for change and newness
__Broader perspective, see more of the big picture
__Shift to wanting to learn more, be more, do more
__Relying more on intuition to make life decisions
***The more checks you have, the more your spirit is at work.
Spiritual work elevates society and is personally fulfilling. When your spirit is working, you are sharing more of who you really are. As a result your work is performed from a level of love, a higher energy and true sense of purpose which transforms everyone and everything around you.
