Our | | attitude will either open for us the way to ascend, to improve our | | life and work conditions, or keep us closed to all the | | possibilities of progress. There is no lack of love in God's | | universe which is made of love. There is no lack of opportunities | | to become happy and fulfilled. However, there are various degrees | | of realization of this universal abundance. Self-absorbed | | individuals unknowingly reinforce their mental estrangement from | | the world and their consequent sufferings. | | | | Love makes us attuned to life. What is life? It is the | | all-inclusive process of growth, development, and never-ending | | unfoldment. When we act with love, the whole universe responds to | | us with love and contributes to our own unfoldment. Regress and | | stagnation are signs of death, and they results from lack of | | harmonious adjustment to love. | | | | Love makes us attuned to our work. It allows us to see and to use | | its opportunities for our benefit and all-round development. The | | fact is, we don't have to search for the "perfect work" for | | self-realization. The inner transformation may occur right where we | | are - there is no need to go anywhere or wait for anything. | | | | Some sociologists talk about alienation of a worker from work. | | However, the root of alienation is not in a given society or work | | settings, but solely within an individual. No matter what | | proponents of social changes could say, our individual lives are | | lived from inside out. We cannot blame others neither for our lack | | of love nor for our lack of passion for creative expression. Even | | if others around us are negative and pessimistic about their work, | | we can remain positive. Our optimism will become a self-fulfilled | | prophecy. | | | | Love awakens our creative energy. If we think that we are not | | capable enough for our job, let love will be our answer. When we | | work with love, we become patient and persistent. We don't spare | | our time or energy. As the result, we become more skilled. New | | ideas on how to work with efficiency and ease come to us. Energy is | | generated to be used, and we might never know what our true energy | | level is until we give ourselves fully to our work. | | | | I would like to finish with insightful and inspiring words from | | "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. They are the best description of | | what is true work. | | | | For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to | | step out of life's procession that marches in majesty and proud | | submission towards the infinite. | | | | When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of | | the hours turns to music. | | Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings | | together in unison? | | | | Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a | | misfortune. | | But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's | | furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, | | And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, | | And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's | | inmost secrets. | | | | And I say that life is darkness save when there is urge, | | And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, | | And all knowledge is vain save when there is love; | | And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to | | one another, and to God. | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Recommended Reading: | | | | [ http://astore.amazon.com/talksontruth-20/detail/1419639218 ] | | Prosperity Step by Step: The Secrets of the Universe by Brad Jensen | | | | Previous Articles of Andrei Yashurin: | | | | [ http://unityway.wordpress.com/2006/11/04/work-and-love/ ] Work | | and Love | [ http://unityway.wordpress.com/2006/10/29/ | | working-with-god/ ] Working With God | [ http:// | | unityway.wordpress.com/2006/10/21/good-works/ ] Good Works | [ | | http://unityway.wordpress.com/2006/10/14/freedom-through-awareness/ | | ] Freedom Through Awareness | [ http://unityway.wordpress.com/ | | 2006/10/07/truth-about-temptations/ ] Truth About Temptations | | | | [ http://unityway.wordpress.com ] Talks on Truth Blog | | | | [ http://zme.amazon.com/exec/varzea/pay/T3FSLT9BWIHSWQ ] If you | | find these messages helpful, please send a donation to Andrei | | Yashurin | | | | If you like our list, please recommend it to others. | | | | To be unsubscribed, click the link at the bottom of this message, | | do not write to the author. | | | | E-mail: [ mailto:yashurin@gmail.com ] yashurin@gmail.com | | | | Information: The publisher of this list technically cannot | | subscribe/unsubscribe anyone.
