and now my respect for you is even higher.
What an awesome job you are doing.
Here’s my thinking:
(It’s not a ‘solution’ or anything, more like a workshop.)
What are some of the ways that you see to work with or improve the work that you’re already doing? This is NOT meant as a solution. It’s literally a question, not a suggestion. In other words, I’m asking what kinds of things go through your head, as you’re working, about ways that your job could be improved or could work better. I’m asking because these types of thoughts are one of the most common ways that ideas for change or inspiration show up.
Typically, your genius will be expressed in the form of mundane problems that you notice in everyday life. It’ll show up as complaints. “Why don’t people do X?”. or “There should really be a way to do Y better.”
Whether you act on it or not is almost beside the point. The point is that it’s like a flashing traffic sign showing you where your discernment and potential is hanging out. For that reason alone, it’s good to pay attention to it.
Think of the parable of Aladdin’s lamp. Your magic shows up first in the form of an everyday object that just interests you for seemingly no reason at all. As you ‘polish’ it, it tends to lead you in directions and to resources that you never would have predicted. but that’s because it’s actually connecting you to the flow of your own internal creativity and vitality. But forget about that.
So, what do you think about changing or improving when you’re doing your work? What do you find yourself annoyed by, interested in, or complaining about? It’s worth journaling about this.
