... you can use your work for your
personal development?
We never choose our occupation haphazardly.
It help's us to:
- discover
part of what we came into this world to
learn;
- discover
what we did not accept from our teachers and/or the
parent who looked after our education when we were
young;
- get
to know ourselves through our colleagues at work in
order to learn true love.
 Take a few moments to describe what your work
consists of. For example, I would describe my own work
in the following way:
I create workshops; I
communicate
my teachings clearly; I listen well in
order to help people find their answers themselves; I
stay calm and
centered when with different personalities I
meet each day; I live and teach the spiritual dimension
while at the same time allowing myself to live the
material dimension
fully.
All the words in bold are part of my life
plan, part of what I need to learn and it is natural
that at first, this is difficult and requires
effort.
What you experience at work is a continuation
of what you experienced at school (or at home) when you
were young, in connection with your learning style and
your relationship with those who taught you. For
example, perhaps people made fun of you because you were
slow, maybe you were expected to learn everything, to be
perfect, and never to make any mistakes. At work you
relive all the difficult experiences of the past that
you did not accept.
The best way to discover those things from
your childhood with which you have not yet come to terms
is to be alert to all your emotions and feelings of
guilt and fear, and to do the MIRROR technique. Do it
with the person involved whom you accuse and have
trouble accepting. When someone makes you react, they
are your mirror. This means that they reflect back to
you a part of yourself that you do not want to see,
because you consider it unacceptable.
Let's say, for example, that you are upset by
your boss, because you feel he is demanding too much of
you and treating you unfairly. This helps you become
aware that you don't accept these aspects of yourself.
By checking with him or with others, you will understand
that sometimes they too find you demanding and unfair,
and this helps you become aware of a part of yourself
that you had not accepted until now.
By observing yourself closely, you will
realize that you are demanding and unfair towards
yourself. The more you repress a part of yourself, the
stronger it becomes with time and the more you will draw
people to yourself who reflect this part back to you.
This happens simply so that you can become aware of it
and accept it, so that you can love yourself more.
EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE EXISTS TO HELP YOU
LOVE AND ACCEPT YOURSELF. As soon as you give yourself
the right to sometimes be demanding and unfair, you will
see that this type of behaviour will no longer bother
you in others. Therein lies the genius of the human
creation!
