How To Create An Amazing Career Even If You Don’t Feel Good About Your Current Job


The key to power in your career is to remember that we are there to provide some kind of service. The perfect career emerges from deep within you. It isn’t something you find, but rather something that evolves as you get to know yourself. When you are aligned within yourself ( in balance), then you will naturally find your perfect path. If you are having problems with your job, the problem is not out there, but rather it is within you and how you are responding to the people and situations around you. If you are unemployed , it is important to go out and do some kind of volunteer work, so you can start to make your work a conduit to love.

Let’s say that you have a job that you go to every day. You may not like the nature of the job or perhaps you feel like it is a dead-end position. You can still be in balance by changing the way you think about your job. Try to dedicate yourself to be an instrument of good each day. Think of your workplace as a place you go to give and receive love. It’s quite simple, so don’t complicate things. Receive love, give love and minister love. As I used to say to my children when they were young, “Put nice into everything you do or say”. Surround yourself with positive energy before you even arrive at work. By blessing and giving love to even the most difficult person or situation, you will soon learn to enjoy your work even though it may not be the perfect place for you. By making your work a conduit to love, you are brightening the workplace and bringing light to those around you. Do your greatest good, by allowing your work to heal those around you. Always see yourself as a blessing to the world. Look at every issue at work as a lesson or opportunity for growth. Don’t worry that your current job or career is not right. By doing this inner work a job that isn’t right will fall away. Just be patient, continue to bless your work and miracles will eventually happen. The important thing is that you do your best work and put good into everything that you do.

How To Bring Miracles Into Your Life With Spiritual Balance


My blog is normally focused on important women’s health issues, but I realized that for complete balance, it was also important to write about spiritual health. For the next few weeks, I’m going to focus on balancing mind, body and soul. I’m not a religious person, but I do have deep spiritual roots. I have always been inspired by people, as well as the world and its beauty. For the next several weeks I’d like to share my spiritual beliefs with my Cool News audience.

Many people ask me why I am always so positive and upbeat? How have you successfully done all the things that you’ve done in life? I learned this lesson in my early twenties and thirties. During that time I had several bouts with cancer. I was forced to shift my thinking from fear based to love based thinking. This was of course my method of survival…really it was my only option at the time. Living with an open loving heart was indeed a choice. When I made this choice, I firmly decided to try to always be open to opportunities by keeping an open heart. I chose not to be afraid of what the future would bring. In other words, as long as my choices were made with a loving heart, I was not afraid of the consequences. For many years, rather than going directly each morning to the newspaper or news, where I was bombarded with negative energy, I would meditate or read inspirational thought provoking passages. I would pray each morning that the day would only bring positive things into my life. That’s when the miracles started flowing my way. There are some people that say I lead a charmed life. Everything I touch turns to gold, but I look at it as merely living life with a large, open loving heart.

In order to change my life, I slowly had to change my way of thinking. After being taught to think a certain way since childhood, it wasn’t easy, but eventually an open, positive heart became a natural way of being. Every day, I would meditate and ask the universe to release all the negative thoughts in my head and inspire me with with positive thoughts and energy. This change brought radiance and joy into my life. By letting go of any pain and allowing the spirit of God to make me strong. Slowly any darkness was replaced by light and the daily miracles followed. Life isn’t about what happens to you, but rather what you do with it and how you think about it.
