In today’s world so many people choose their career or job based on the earning potential. They look at their options and pick whatever has the highest bottom line. Then, they either spend the next four years chasing whatever degree they need to work in the field determined to give them the greatest monetary return.
Or, they forgo college and begin slogging away to build experience and seniority, chasing every promotion and kissing up too the boss.
In fifteen years time, both these groups step back to look at their lives. The majority of people don’t like what they see. Many of them find themselves unhappy with their lives or feeling unfulfilled and lost.
And we wonder why so many people experience the dreaded ‘mid-life crisis’.
There is a better way.
Timothy 6:10 tells us -“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”
Some translations use “error” in place of “evil”. When you choose a line of work based on the amount of money it pays, you are doing nothing more than chasing that dollar – Existing for the love of money.
From the metaphysical standpoint, it’s a simple idea. Everything we do, say and think has energy. That energy goes out into the universe, taking our wants and needs to Spirit. When we engage in an activity which brings happiness, the energy carried is bright, open, and loving. The flip side of this is that when we do something grudgingly or resentfully, the energy we send out to do our bidding is negative, and closed off.
In the realm of Spirit, like attracts like.
Timothy 6:11 “But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”
Everyone has aspirations and dreams. Our dreams are a lifeline to the desires and needs of the soul. Aspirations are the ideas of Spirit working in us, helping us to strive for our greatest good.
Before you make decisions about job and career, take the time to pray, asking Spirit to guide you. And then, listen to that still, small voice within you in meditation. That us the voice of Spirit guiding
Listen to your heart, and follow those things, which move your soul and make your heart sing. Those are the things Spirit is calling you to do, the things which will lead you to your greatest good and your highest prosperity.
Light and blessings... Yvette
