Are you doing what you love to do?
Are you doing what you love to do? Are you doing work that makes your heart sing? Are you doing work that expands your vision of yourself? If not, what could I do to convince you to do it?
Do you work at a job or at tasks that feel out of alignment with what you’re really meant to do? Do you feel that your best skills and abilities are going unused? If you do, please consider using them.
When I’ve talked to people who have worked at jobs that used less than their full abilities, I have learned this:

Trusting What Is
Each weekday, I look forward to a daily inspirational email courtesy of www.tut.com. A recent email read like this:
Yesterday I watched a small bird, flying very fast, disappear into the canopy of an oak tree. So dense were its leaves that it was impossible to see what happened next, though I can tell you it remained inside.
I wondered how the little bird found its opening through the leaves at such a speed, and then managed to gently align its fragile body on the branch it chose to land upon, all within a fraction of a second. Not to mention the impossible to imagine flying maneuvers required: the banking, the curling, the vertical and horizontal stabilizations, the deceleration and landing.
Memory? Calculation? Not in that tiny brain. Instinct? Maybe, but how does instinct know which way the branches of a tree have grown when no two are the same?
That little bird just knew. It had faith, in spite of not being able to see how things would work out, that if (and only if) it stayed the course the details would be taken care of; that an opening would appear and a twig would be found. In fact, had she slowed down enough to carefully and logically inspect the tree first, the prudent thing to do, she would have lost her lift and fallen to the ground.
Kind of like reaching for your dreams. Neither memory, nor calculating, nor instincts are the deciding factors, but faith coupled with action.

My first thought was WOW!!! How many times do I fail simply because I think I won’t be guided, or that our success/failure is strictly up to us? How many times do we fail to act because we fear failure? Read more »
About
I decided to put this page together at the urging of friends. Several of them were encouraging me to do this, as they were sure that my words were needed to help counteract all of the negativity out there. I’m not a pollyanna. I understand the problems of the world. I also understand that most of our problems are of our own making, and that the only way for any of us to solve our problems is to start exactly where we are, and solve what we can. We made the problems. We can solve them.
I know we cannot improve our lives by being negative. I know we cannot create what we want by fighting what we don’t want. It just doesn’t work that way, though the nightly news is full of people who are determined to do so using just that method. The only way out is to find a path of cooperation, Love, and compassion. This Blog is written so we can find a way to do just that. I hope you join me.
I work as a Life Coach at GLORIUS LIFE Coaching. If you are interested in Life Coaching Services, you can find more information about the services we provide at www.gloriuslife.com.
