What’cha Gonna Be
When You Grow Up?
Okay, so you know who you are. You know that you are smart and capable. You have
worked through inner critic issues from your childhood and you know that you can
do anything you set your mind to. You know that you want to be a genuinely good,
kind, and caring person but that there is another very real side of you that is sometimes
lazy, grumpy, and wouldn’t mind if others would spoil you a bit more often. You
know that you are co-
You know plenty of who are not very spiritual as they get up every morning and go
to work. They like their “normal” jobs well enough, but none of it sounds very appealing
to you. You wish that you had an undying desire to become a firefighter or a teacher
or a politician or anything else for that matter. Those are careers that a person
can really commit him or herself to as opposed to just being some random filing clerk,
waitress, or taxi driver. Those are the kinds of jobs you can do without investing
very much of yourself into them. There is nothing wrong with just getting some random
job that you are good at and earning a living. You know that you have talents and
you have some ideas how to use them, but you want more then a boring 9-
You also know some people who hear a little voice calling them to do sacred work. They hear a divine voice that tells them what to do or they feel a real sense of mission in life. They absolutely must become musicians, artists, writers, etc. They have to save the rainforests, or free Tibet, or become a pediatrician because not doing so is like not breathing. They believe that it is the core of who they are and why they were put on this planet. You would like to be drafted into such an overwhelming calling but your number has not been called just yet. You feel as through you have been trained and specially designed to do some sort of important work, but you have not been told what it is you are going to do. The truth is, you may never be assigned to a specific project.
Let’s use a military analogy to explain why more of you are not assigned big important spiritual missions in life. There are just so many ace pilots, just so many generals, and just so many Navy Seals, etc. You know that you are supposed to serve your country but have really no idea what you are supposed to do. You have enlisted and are now awaiting your orders. However, unlike the military, you probably are not going to be told what to do. Basically, you can do whatever you want just so long as you are a good little soldier and make sure that you represent our side with honor and integrity.
Whether you call yourself a Lightworker, a Christian, a neo-
While you are waiting for divine inspiration, pretend that you are a sniper and you are shooting people with positive healing energy. Be like Cupid with your arrows of love. If you are a filing clerk, then imagine that you are filing pieces of love and spirit into the perfect slots so that the next time someone pulls that file they will be touched by your peaceful calmness. If the files are about specific people like legal cases or medical charts or home mortgages, imagine each person or family whom that piece of paper represents and send them a silent prayer that they are happy and safe. If you happen to be a waitress while waiting for some sort of divine calling, then pray love and health over each meal as you serve it. If you are a taxi driver, then silently turn your cab into a holy sanctuary where everyone who rides with you is in a place of peace and spiritual cleansing for a bit. I am not saying to make these things publicly known or to have everyone looking at you as if you have lost your mind. I am saying that you can spread your spirituality and sacredness no matter how mundane your daily job may seem. It may or may not help make the world a better place, but I guarantee that you will feel better about your day and how you spend your time while at work.
