Spiritual people may have their own set of struggles both personally and professionally. On a professional level, they may feel they have the need to explain in great depth, what they do, how they do it and why. Personally, they might feel misunderstood, different from most or like they don’t belong here. From adolescence into adulthood the need to feel and be like everyone else is universal. For spiritual people, it’s even more so.
Many business professionals can say what they do in two words or less. For example, they can say they are an accountant, office manager or financial advisor. Spiritual business owners are life coaches, intuitive healers and published authors – all at once.
Some say that business professionals should choose one area of expertise and be an expert in that one area. However, spiritual people are so open to infinite possibilities, they are multi-faceted. They can go from spiritual writer to healing intuitive to meditation instructor and back again. And, they do so with ease and grace.
How can you handle these external issues without losing your internal self? Love is the answer.
Love what you do – The first step is to love what you do. In order to thrive instead of just survive, you need to accept and embrace what you do. Don’t make yourself or your spiritual gift wrong. If you have the gift of discernment or the capability to be an amazing life coach, don’t minimize or dismiss what you do.
After all, if you don’t love what you do, how can you attract those seeking your spiritual gift who will equally love what you do.
Love why you do it – Once you’ve accepted and embraced your gifts, ask yourself why you do what you do. Chances are the bottom line is not about numbers, it’s about helping people. Most spiritually gifted people whether they are speakers or life coaches or anything else in between are those who wish to make a difference and be a contribution.
Love yourself – Take on the practice of loving yourself. Does the thought of loving yourself sound like something arrogant or conceited? It’s neither; it’s necessary in order to thrive. Seeking love and acceptance from outside sources doesn’t work for you or the people in your space. Don’t give someone else the power to validate you and don’t expect someone else to be responsible for your confidence or happiness. That’s a big responsibility and should be yours first and foremost. Go ahead and love yourself, your life, and your gifts so you can move forward to love and help others.
