EmployeeNext: Creating success and joy at work

How I love the Latin based languages! Often I find the words can be broken down into parts and when we look at them differently a more profound meaning emerges.

I am a member of the Unity Church and attend Sunday services often — we have a wonderful congregation of really magical people with interfaith and new thought backgrounds — and a very inspiring and high vibrating minister to lead us. Today we had a beautiful service with a very moving christening and spiritual message.

We all have spiritual gifts. Often we are unaware of these - we’ve been listening to outside messages defining us in limited ways. But when we begin to seek our own spiritual truth in earnest - seek and ye shall find! I often perceive on an intuitive level — and I often find sources of inspiration everywhere, right out in the open! So today, I was thinking about these two words - Inspiration and Intuition - and their significance in my journey.

When I combined them - I created Inspirtuition - I define this as “to find inspiration intuitively.” And look at the syllabic breakdown — In-Spir-Tu-It — what a lovely interpretation - to “inspire” to it! To reach for something with our spiritual nature rather than our worldly view.

We are all spiritual beings having human experiences — souls with bodies, rather than bodies with souls. When I approach what I perceive with that view — leading with my spirit first — I find inspiration and my intuition is always my faithful, reliable guide.

Our Reverend Kyra shared some wonderful wisdom with us today I wanted to post — rules for living life “in spirit” –

1. Do no harm and start with yourself

2. Do everything you do with honesty and integrity

3. Find your human joy and be thankful for the opportunity
