"To be spiritual, as I see it, is to function at a realm beyond thought. It is about living in the darkness of the unknown by honoring the limits to what we are capable of and pushing beyond those limits just to see if we can. To be spiritual is the continual process of manifesting our dreams so that we can pick new ones and so always be in the light of discovery. Spirituality is about feeling "good" regardless of what feelings may manifest at each given moment. Finally, it is about creating love rather than waiting for it to show its face to us. There is nothing for one to "do" to create love, for in love seeing is the doing. To see another without needing him or her or any circumstance to be anything other than who and what they are is to really be love; and in that instant one is propelled out of the realm of thought and into the realm of the spirit." ~ By Shawn Threadgill ~

“One attribute that makes entertainment so popular is that it occurs at a distance - the one being entertained does not have to participate or get personally involved. Being entertained is a pleasant, safe, secure, comfortable intellect-at-a-distance activity that requires little effort, carries no responsibility, and there for generates no fear, guilt, potential for failure, or personal growth. By vicariously reading about (or watching) others doing amazing or cool things, we are able to share and confirm the hero's reality in terms of our own reality without effort or risk." ~ Thomas Campbell's book, "My Big Toe" ~

Be ware of the “3 W’s”: Wanting, Waiting & Wondering.

Wanting: Our job is to meet our needs without alteration or altercation. That being said, if we are in a state of wanting, then we are not engaged in the creative development of that desire. It is far more “actual” to choose something then want it. When we are “in want,” then we are separated from doing, while when we choose something we are doing it!

Waiting: Don’t ever wait! When we wait, we are stagnant and so, again, separated from the doing. And it is only through doing that things become manifest. Doing occurs in three ways: how we think about something, what we say about it and how we behave in regards to it. Thus, if you feel you have exhausted all your behavioral choices like updating your resume, doing follow-up letters and the like, then challenge your thinking to stay hopeful and positive.

Wondering: When I ask my clients about their career dreams, they inevitable embark on a long-winded query about whether they should or shouldn’t be doing their current job and career choice. I then have to remind them that whether they should or shouldn’t do something has nothing to do with a sort of deeper meaning unbeknownst to them. Their potential career choices are limitless and that choice is up to them; all they have to do is choose it.

The process of uncovering which career choices best suit us begins with understanding the skills we have and which ones we want to highlight.
