Work with love and you bind yourself to yourself, to one another, and to God – Kahlil Gibran
The habitual failure bears, across the threshold of his thought, an image of his inability to attain. – The Science of Mind pg 450
Should you desire to change the work you’re doing, here’s a plan: The work you’re doing now, do it the very best you can. Cause yourself to be grateful for it (you can do this – it’s only a choice), Smile and be happy, or pretend to be until you’re not sire wheather you’re pretending or are actually happy.
I realize this may sound unrealistic, phony even. In this instance, we don’t need to care how it sounds, only how it works. It has to do with the subconscious mind, the seat of creativity, which works off the impulses of feeling we give it, and then goes and fetches experiences that correspond to those feelings. This is why love brings that which is like itself – and so does hate. The subconscious, being subjective, doesn’t comprehend objective things, like this job versus that one. It also doesn’t grasp time, so saying “I’ll fell better when such-and-such happens” leaves it unmoved. It takes what we’re feeling now and runs with it.
When we choose to be happy at our current tasks, we’re actually freeing ourselves to have the forms change to match our happiness, rather than having to adjust our happiness level to whatever the forms appear to be. If you absolutely can’t be happy, then you can at least be grateful for the paycheck, anyway, and fill the subconscious with gratitude which, like happiness, will lead you to where you want to be.
Today I embody a spirit of thanks for the work that’s before me.
