A Radical Career Move: Focus On Your Soul
We live in a material world and are, of necessity, focused on matters of financial import. Most of us cannot escape that burden of monetary responsibility. It weighs heavily on our thoughts much of the time. There must be a balance, however, to keep honoring our soul awareness. Spiritual consciousness can have a huge effect on career issues and objectives.
For example:
(1) Honoring Your Spirit Guides
Even if you don’t know they’re there, they are. Someone is there to help you through these complex material conundrums, with inspiration and insight. Thank your Spirit Guides (and Angels) for helping you. The more grateful you are, the better your connection will be.
(2) Cling To Spiritual Ethics
In your working life you may be tempted to do underhanded things, or your supervisor may try to force you to act in an unethical manner. When you demand your right to ethical behavior, a supervisor may react negatively. This is a great time to shine your love light and sweetly say you just couldn’t live with yourself if you had to treat someone else unfairly.
If this results in termination, request better employment options. The universe is listening, and your Guides and Spiritual Source will respond. Demand ethical behavior of yourself and you’ll be more likely to receive it of others. Remember, when one door closes, another opens. No need for fear.
(3) Meditation
Before you work, before you tackle a project, a few moments of prayer and meditation could open your awareness and help you envision new solutions.
Say: “I now open my heart and mind to the inspirations of the Benevolent Source, my Spirit Guides and Angels, and my Higher Self. I am grateful for all insights and suggestions on my spirit path and in my material life and career.”
Give insight a few minutes. (in-sight = inner sight) You’ll feel calmer and better able to complete your work.
Lost
I am 55 with three teenage children as I had them late in life. I keep “stumbling” on websites and books that are asking me to find why I am here but either I fear facing what it really is, or I am truly lost. I have worked as a legal assistant for 25 years, never staying at one office for more than 3 years, always complaining how I don’t like what I do, and thinking, thinking, thinking and reading of what other careers I might be able to do. I studied and became a yoga teacher, which I have taught part-time for a few years, but I am constantly second-guessing myself. For example, there are yoga teachers who practice and study and work as teachers as their primary role and they are great. I find that my role is so-so. Then I look at the complexity of my life, the debt, the struggling marriage because of debt, the fatigue from having teenagers during menopause, a time when I should be living in a cabin, like you. Yet, I have to produce financially and I want to do something that makes a difference.
My husband says he is sad for me as I am not even a shadow of what I was when we dated. I have become so sad and withdrawn; I’ve even stopped teaching yoga as I do not think I can adequately stand in front of a class and portray a figure of calm when there is so much chaos inside of me. He encourages me to leave, if I think that is what I need to do, but I don’t want to leave my children. I just want to leave my life.
Can you offer some advice?
Blessings,
Maria
