Reconnecting with Your True Self
Have you ever found yourself wanting to change jobs or what you do because what you do is not ‘fulfilling”? maybe because you would like to do something that “makes a difference” in other people’s lives? maybe something big that would touch thousands? Many people come to see me for this exact reason and there is something beautiful in that objective. But, for most cases, there is something beautiful in what you already do. There is something beautiful in your present job. If you don’t work or are not working at the time, there is something beautiful in what you do as well.
If what you do conflicts with your Consciousness because of moral or ethical issues, let go of self judgment and/or guilt and ask for Guidance and Divine Intervention, and know, even now, that this Universe is providing the right opportunity for you to be of Service and it’s already coming to you.
Now let’s focus on Service. Yes, Service, with capital “S”. When you see what you do with different eyes, and realize that you are already “of service” to others, and when you understand and realize what this means, it will bring a great deal of joy and satisfaction to your life.
First you need to understand that there is no ‘small’ job, no small contribution to humanity or the planet. The Universe does not measure to see if you touch one person or million. Every one has a different path and a different mission, and each path and mission is greatly needed and of equal importance.
Look at the different jobs in this society and tell me why would we treasure one more than the other. We need people running the companies of all the products and services we need or desire. We also need clerks, and teachers, and peacemakers, and some stay-home-moms. We need firefighters, and we need janitors, and we need farmers as much as we need anybody else. What would we do without the caretaker or some volunteering in their communities? The list goes on and on. Let’s take pride in whatever you do and let’s appreciate every person that comes into your life to service you in one way or another.
Take satisfaction in whatever you do right now, see it as “servicing others”. Do it with pride and do it with love. Know that in that current situation, you’re being giving so many blessings. You’re giving the blessing of helping and touching others with a simple smile and with love and caring. If you would rather be doing something else, send that Intention to the Universe, knowing it’s coming. In the meantime, surrender to what is now and do it with an attitude of gratitude. Choose to smile and be joyful every day knowing you are exactly where you’re supposed to be right this moment. At the same time, appreciate everyone that services you. Know that they’re also giving you a blessing, an opportunity to be grateful, appreciative, and loving.
We are all Spiritual beings servicing one another in this big game of Life. Even with these complex society systems we have created, we can still remember that at the end, we will review our lives based on how loving, how caring, how forgiving we were toward ourselves and others. At the end we will remember that we are all One, all connected at the Source. Why not begin to remember now?
