Spirituality and Sustaining it in the Workplace

I also work "for" people with disabilities. There is a constant demand for one to keep in touch with ones inner self and wisdom during the course of the job.

For every inappropriate behavioral issue that one encounters, one has to reach into the depths of ones soul, for the correct response. Clearly keeping ones perspective in check. Totally remembering that being in service is part of the contract with higher energy. And that part is the simple job.

What the real job consist of would be to shine an example to ones coworkers that are having a much more difficult journey during these very difficult times.

Most of the coworkers express how difficult it is for them to deal with work when so many things are so wrong in their outer lives. We have had our troubles with the negative energies at work. Enough so that it hit the headlines in the paper. Many were put out, some just quit and very few of us stayed as our belief that the darkness had come to light and changes were coming.

And they did. A total new management team that crack the whip when someone has not followed the rules. More attention given to the people that we work for and last but not least. For those that worked very hard and did not jump ship, financial rewards abound.

I have found that no matter where we end up in this world whether it is at work or in our neighborhoods, we are going to encounter things that will always put us to the extreme test.

Through these tests, I feel that we learn more and
are able to actually develop our spirituality with great measure and strength. Besides, remembering that everything is in "Divine" order always seems to take the edge out of the situations.
