Thought Adjuster: “What is better — to adapt to the situation you face, or to ‘dream’ of being somewhere else? Which alternative do you think will produce immediate and long-term results? Undoubtedly, being present is always the best choice. When your attention is focused on where you are and on the task at hand, you are more likely to find solutions and learn something.
In this world, monotony is often a characteristic of many occupations. Many people, driven by the need to survive, have resigned themselves to doing the first thing they found to make a living, not necessarily what they had a natural inclination or talent for. However, everyone is capable of achieving success in life by meeting their material needs while working toward spiritual growth, regardless of what they do for a living.
But if you find yourself in a line of work that neither stimulates nor motivates you, it’s worth remembering a few things. First, everything you do by giving the best of yourself and investing your best skills and talents will inevitably produce good results. Second, anything you undertake with wisdom and with the desire to serve your fellow beings will always be a good action that positively impacts all of creation. The third point follows directly from the previous one, since everything you do with the intention of doing good for others is a service to the Father, and everything you do for the Father brings spiritual benefits, rewards of eternal value.
I suggest that you change your way of thinking a little, so you can discover the great things you can do right where you are, doing what you are already doing. Instead of dreaming up fantasies in which your work is exactly what you want — when in fact you don’t even have a clear idea of what that is — focus on what you can do today to express the best of yourself through your work. Think about how you can turn your talents, what you’ve learned, and your passion into an offering to the Father and a service to humanity. In this way, before long, you’ll see your work take on a new dimension and you’ll find a more lasting and genuine satisfaction in what you do. This is the key to a happy life filled with true fulfillment — mastering the art of turning every situation that arises into an opportunity to serve the Father and express the best of your personality.”
