Finding Authentic
Work
Would you do your job for no pay?
Do
you experience a sense of flow or peace while working?
At
the completion of work do you feel energized?
If
your answer to these questions is no, you may be among the millions
of people who haven’t found their Calling. Consider what you need to
contribute to the world in order to be fulfilled.
While you may be experiencing the
outward signs of success, do you still feel something is
missing?
What would it be like to connect
with the unique expression of your spirit?
If you’re looking for deep fulfillment and
an overall sense of inner peace, you must have the courage to live
in accordance with your life’s purpose.
Answer the following questions to begin
exploring a path that matches your unique talents and
gifts. Since most of us
no longer fit neatly into job descriptions, many of us are left with
a feeling of dissatisfaction at the completion of our work. This spurs many of us to
explore self-employment as a way to express our gifts. This is just one option
among many to develop the right situation for the full expression of
your spirit.
My hope is that these questions will help
you gain insight into what direction your career should take next
and leave you exploring ways to move closer to authentic work for
yourself. If you would
like to create a plan and take action toward a plan to express more
of your spirit in your work, it’s time to consider working with a
coach.
