I’ve always known that the writing and speaking I do in the area of human potential and personal growth contains an element of spirituality. Of course, my writing and speaking on the topic of Judaism, Kabbalah, and practical spirituality has a spiritual nature as well. I never saw the spiritual nature of my work as a writing coach and publishing mentor, though….until yesterday.
I was speaking with a woman who told me that as I inspire others to write their books, as I create passion within them to tell their stories from the page (and through social media and from the podium), I am doing spiritual work. She explained that the passion I impart and instill involves spirituality. Indeed, passion comes from our spiritual nature. It’s comes out of our soul and connects us to something higher, bigger, creative. It’s our link to Source energy.
By helping others become creative beings and supporting them in expression their passion, I assist them in getting in touch their souls, their souls’ purpose, and with Source. That’s a spiritual pursuit.
Ah. How relieved I felt. Until that moment I had felt as if this part of my work life was quite removed from the other part. One felt spiritual and the other secular. Now I could see how they were linked, how one feeds into the other and back again.
If you would like to find spirituality in your work, maybe you need only discover your passion–or how you help others find passion. Discover how what you do fulfills your soul’s purpose or how it allows you to express your creativity. Then allow yourself to feel passionate about that.
Or simply ask God, Source, the Creator to act through you as you work. That brings spirituality into the workplace.ย Then proceed with passion.
