The Spirit@Work® Card that I drew for this post is the perfect card to get me moving in the right direction. I drew the card, Cause.
In all honesty, I connected with all of the words shared in the book on Cause. These are the lines in the book that inspired me the most:
A cause radiates a light so bright that followers find it irresistible.
And,
The appeal of a Cause is the profound and unique strength it holds.
And,
A Cause draws its energy from the Soul, describing the way we plan to honour the Souls of others, how we will recognize their Sacredness, improve their lives, and serve them. A Cause creates passion because it describes passion. A Cause is other-centered and it inspire because it puts others – their personalities and their Souls – first.
And,
Above all, a Cause inspires because it is always rooted in love.
And, from the poem:
I am inspired. A future engages my Spirit.
It connects with my destiny.
And,
To inspire people to propel it with strength and creativity.
And,
Knowing that this cause is connected with Divine Purpose.
I am grateful for this gift.
As I write with these goals in mind I can’t help but wonder if I’m truly capable of bringing Cause into my book, my life, and my coaching. It almost seems as if it is so much bigger than me, and way beyond my reach. And yet, I have a deep belief … a knowing, that if I don’t follow this path, then my childhood was for nothing. My childhood really hurt me and damaged my self-esteem almost to the point of not being able to be healed. It affected my adult life in ways that I’m not entirely sure I would ever be able to properly express. And through all of this, the last sentence of the poem resonates throughout my very being and Soul. I am grateful for this gift. The gift of my childhood!
