Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I am sitting here at work, just wondering what my real job actually is. Am I here just to collect a pay check and pay the bills? What if one day I am unemployed, does that really mean that I don't have a job? Does the managing director of a company have a more important job than a cleaner employed to clean the building he works in? My heart tells me that my real job is to teach love, and that I teach love everytime I genuinely question a stressful thought which hides the love within me from my sight. I can practice my real job whether I am employed or unemployed in worldly terms. Whether I have a high position or what the world would see as a very lowly one. When I die I don't think God will be really interested in how much money I made or how many houses I owned, but rather to what extent I put my heart and soul into my real job. Yet I notice how easy it is to forget what my real job really is, and get caught up in nightmare stories of loss or failure or lack of meaning. I forget to smile at a stranger and laugh at the joyful play of love all around me. Still in this moment now I always have the choice to choose love and teach it, if I am tired of being right and arguing with what is. Just some thoughts " There's nothing between you and love but unquestioned concepts. " Byron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My " real " job Is to be Tami That is a definition that is more loving-what is " to me Sometimes I get to teach love (when I love) And sometimes I get to teach " chutzpa " (how to be impudence) apparently, most of the time my " job " is to teach How to ask for what I want I can practice my real job > whether I am employed or unemployed in worldly terms.

I hear you believe in god And I hear you think god wants you to love I respect that, and I am not going to ask you if You know that it is true, cause you seem so happy about that Yet I notice how easy it is > to forget what my real job really is, and get caught up in nightmare > stories of loss or failure or lack of meaning.

If you fail at loving all the time And If you get " fired " , from this new job of yours You can always practice at being yourself, the full version (2006) Loving & judgmental. I just adore you, And I know you don't need my LAA But I enjoy giving it to you So, thank you Tami > > Still in this moment now I always have the choice to choose love and > teach it, if I am tired of being right and arguing with what is. > > Just some thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 this reminded me of a katie quote.. i know some people hate quotes.. oh well. page 205 I need your love. " No one who thinks I should love myself knows what love is. Love is what we are already. SO to think that you should love yourself when you dont is pure delusion. Isnt the turnaround truer? I shoudlnt love myself. How do you know that you shouldnt love yourself? You don't Thats it, for now. The truth is no respecter of spiritual concepts. I should love myself- ugh-- on what planet. Love is not a doing, There is nothing you have to do. And when you question your mind, you can see that the only thing that keeps you from being love is a stressful thought. " I seem to be consumed with stressful thoughts. no wonder i dont feel loving. oh well. pain body,drama queen , roslyn -- - In Loving-what-is , Tami wrote: > > > I am sitting here at work, just wondering what my real job actually > > is.
