Many individuals find themselves in situations where their job brings them no satisfaction. They dislike the work they're doing and working conditions, they dislike their employers, their customers, and their co-workers, and so on. Often they also think that they are trapped in their position, and there is no way to escape. After all, if they could get out, they would did it long time ago! So, they continue their unpleasant routine. Are there spiritual ways to resolve their difficulties? Yes, and one the useful methods is to look for love. Love is the answer they need.

One is the greatest truths about us is that we are eternal beings in the process of eternal journey. At the same time, every work we do is temporary. Rarely do we find employees which occupy the same position in the same company even for 20-30 years, especially in our rapidly changing world.

So, no matter what is our work, there will be time when we will leave it. Every project and every task will be completed, and we will move on. But let us be aware that our attitudes which we developed while we were occupied with our work, will stay with us. Attitudes are mental habits, and they don't just turn on and off at our will. Once we have a deep-seated attitude, it will take efforts to change it. That's why I am convinced that we need to develop positive to attitude to any work we are doing - even if our initial reactions to it are negative. Our attitude will cause us either to rise up higher, or to fall down.

Life is progress, and our destiny is to evolve. The universe propels us to greater self-expression, but this process goes along with our growing understanding and inner unfoldment. If there is no progress in our life, it is because we still haven't learned the lessons at the present level of our development. To put it simple, if we want a better job we should do a better job - an inside job.

There is another reason why we cannot afford resentment toward our work. Resentment creates an attachment to the very thing we resent. This is why so many people feel that they are locked in a prison of unpleasant working conditions. They locked themselves through their own thoughts and attitudes, but they hold the key unlock the door.

Love is the opposite of resentment. We get rid of resentment not through fighting against it, but by giving our undivided attention to love. True love is the universal power of unity. Love recognizes the universal wholeness, and this recognition brings healing.

Love is found in everything and in everybody. Our part is to discern love in everything we encounter. We may affirm:

"The universe is made of love and sustained by love. Wherever I go, I find love.
My inner eyes are open to behold love. My inner ears are attuned to the gentle voice of love.
I recognize love. I radiate love. I attract love".

As we look for love, let us be persistent. Chances are, soon we will see positive aspects of our work which we haven't noticed before, while we were blinded by resentment. First of all, we will see opportunities to for spiritual development.

There is no difficulty without a corresponding opportunity - this is one of Life's greatest secrets. As Marcus Bach advises, let us make it an adventure not to follow our usual behaviour patterns and emotional reactions. Let us make it an adventure to love and to forgive more than ever before. Let us make it an adventure to remain peaceful and to respond to all challenges in creative ways.

There is no place in life where growth is impossible, and growth is the life's greatest adventure.

We might think that we serve the world by doing things for people. In a sense it is true. But the greatest help to others is the power of our example and the power of our attitude. We translate our influence through invisible channels. We surround ourselves with an aura of love, peace, creativity, and positive expectations. Every person which comes into mental contact with this aura, becomes blessed.
