Christmas is around the corner, so we’ll hear a lot about peace and joy in the coming weeks. But did you know that you can have peace and joy EVERY DAY, if you choose the right career?
In other words, if you don’t wake up every day looking forward to going to work, then it’s possible that you are still searching — consciously or subconsciously — for your ideal career.
Your ideal career has little to do with money, prestige, status, benefits, salary, etc. It has EVERYTHING to do with you. With who you truly are.
An ideal career has to do with creating the ideal conditions within you for fostering personal growth and expanding joy. It has to do with enabling your true self, along with your passion, talent and values, to express itself in a creative and productive way.
So far, society has not taught people how to create their ideal career. We mostly have “normal” careers that fit certain norms in society. We are mostly human “resources” being used by corporations for making corporate profits.
There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with that, since money is necessary to sustain life.
But a job is just a job, whether you’re a janitor or a high-paid executive.
You, on the other hand, are everything that matters in life.
As you begin to shift your attention and thoughts from what society expects and wants of you, to what you TRULY want as a career — as your life’s work — you will begin to notice many changes occurring within you and right in front of you.
Like me since June 2000, you will begin to see life differently. You will feel power surging from your newfound perception and philosophy.
This power comes from your growing awareness that you are the creator of your life — all of it.
Right now, you may not believe what I just said and might believe that you have no choice but to do the job you are currently doing.
This is because you are viewing yourself as a “body” that has no spiritual vision nor power. This is the same problem of people who have addictions or problems with controlling their emotions such as anger. It’s the same problem of people who want to get rich but can’t make it.
All these problems are caused by your belief that you are a “body” that has no power.
Yet, I have discovered — and many other teachers have as well — that the body is nothing. The mind is everything. Your mind controls your body, and it controls also all of your life.
Your body is just showing you how skillfully — or how unskillfully — you are using your mind.
So if you’re stressed at work, or are addicted to anything, or feel depressed, or are prone to sickness, etc. then that is a sure sign you have not achieved mind control.
Fortunately, mind control is not difficult. It just takes practice, alertness and discipline.
The results are peace and joy. In your career as well as in ALL areas of your life.
Indeed, by learning to master your mind at the workplace, you will begin to see improvements in all other areas of your life.
In upcoming posts, I will share ways for you to train your mind so as to create what will seem like a miraculous life.
