True Work

 

 

I am grateful to be in alignment with my true work and the calm that gives me.

I am grateful for all the people I know to be in alignment with their true work and to feel the calm that gives them.

I am grateful for all the people I don’t even know all over the planet to be in alignment with their true work and to feel the calm that gives them.

-----------------
All over the planet, people are searching for their deep true work.

This is the work that satisfies their every need.

It takes care of them and their families and it allows them to serve in a greater way, too.

It does not mean working in a particular place doing a particular job.

It means feeling a deep sense of peace and satisfaction in the details of our lives because we know who we are and we are expressing it.

Our true work manifests as we insist on our freedom to know and be who we really are.

We have to have the courage to ask the question to discover it and then the courage to take the baby beginning steps to act on the answer.

I have had a longtime dream for forty years.

Now, I see how each element has contributed toward that dream.

I have gained greater purpose and new skills all along the way.

I am grateful to see my true work manifesting itself in my life.

It gives me a great sense of calm.

Productive Rewards

Even though I can’t change another’s behavior, I am learning to be content and work on my own.

Even though no one that I know can change the behavior of anyone else, they are learning to be content and to work on their own.

Even though all the people that I don’t know all over the world can not change the behavior of anyone else, they are all learning to be content and to work on their own.

-------------------

Running up against habits that irritate me and interfere with my ability to have a harmonious relationship does not have to concern me.

I can let those old habits run as much as they want and redirect my own efforts toward myself.

There are behaviors which I can cultivate in myself and avoid in others.

I am learning to direct my attention to myself and to cultivate more and more productive behaviors.

I love spending time on the materials which I am developing.

I love learning how to make more and more effective presentations of those materials.

I love cultivating opportunities to share the materials and the philosophy behind them.

I love directing my thought in this direction and the rewards that it brings.

This is a productive direction and it is very satisfying for me.

Calm Within

In contrast to the corporate harassment we have all grown up with during the holidays, let me offer the following mediation.

Calm Within

We all have the opportunity to take our first deep breath to acknowledge our deep calm within.

Take as much time is as needed for this first deep breath.

And wait for it.

Wait for the calm.

This may take several minutes,  but you will feel it.

Feel the calm.

It is yours.

It is always there.

It is always within.

When you feel you can, take a second deep breath.

You are building on and expanding your deep calm.

This second breath extends out to the people you know.

It reminds them of the fact of the deep calm within them.

Extend your breath and your calm.

Finally, take your third deep breath.

This breath is extending to all the people you don’t know all over the planet.

It connects with the deep calm within them.

It reminds them of their never-ending source of calm and allows them to breathe deeply and expansively and generously.

This is your state of being now, for the duration of the holidays, and really, for always.

You are very dearly loved, cherished and adored.
