When you are doing the work you were meant to do in this life, you feel upbeat, perhaps even passionate, about going to work. You are inspired by the challenges, not defeated by them, and you enjoy the problem solving. Sometimes, however, a choice you made in the past places you on the wrong career track or into a dead-end job; instead of getting up with anticipation about all the wonderful things you will accomplish doing what you love, you face each morning with dread.
You don’t have to stay stuck. Do some brainstorming. Ask the angels to gather round you to inspire and support you as you map out a new career, job, or life. Start free associating and write down everything that you do in any kind of work that gives you pleasure. Once you’ve filled the card with pleasurable work activities, start grouping them together to see if you can see a pattern. Perhaps your life’s work isn’t cataloging items taken in evidence for your local police department, but rather cataloging and selling garage sale and auction items in your online store. Keep asking your angels to inspire you and point you in the right direction. Ask them to help you analyze and assess the information coming out of your subconscious through free association. Ask for meaning and insight to get back on track. Claim the life’s work that will most satisfy you. Adhere to the advice of Indian sages and practitioners of yoga: Don’t be attached to outcome or the fruit of your labor, but do the labor for itself in the most honorable and meaningful ways.
