Finding Your Path to Career Fulfillment and Abundance
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Firefly.
Firefly: Hi. I would like some insight into my career, and my ability to create abundance. I appreciate my job in many ways and think I can grow with this company, but sometimes I long for something else. I just keep my eyes and ears open for another opportunity, or something more exciting and interesting.
Council: We would say that longing for something else is the first clue that you are getting ready to create something for yourself. But we would say when this feeling continues, and when you get that longing for something else, make the time and sit ten minutes a day, more if possible, and just acknowledge this feeling. And just talk to yourself.
“Yes, I do see I’m wanting a change. I understand this feeling. Now I need to know what it is. Can you show me what it is? Give me some ideas. Let me hear something. Let me see something that will put me on the right track.” The idea here is for you to find the answer, for you to open up and connect with your higher self, and to know that no matter what it is, you can ask and get the answer.
Firefly: Also, I’ve had an unusual amount of strange things happen in the last few months that have cost me much more money than usual. I feel like maybe there was something karmic going on. I’ve done my best to ponder the lessons. Was this karmic activity?
Council: And that will go on until you do the work of connecting with your higher self and asking not why this is happening, but show me the way. What is it that I planned to do? And that will change things. We would say this is not so much karmic, but it’s just a slight way of giving you an idea that what you’re doing isn’t satisfying you. Perhaps it’s not giving you enough abundance. And so it’s all to help you look somewhere else for something else. So being not satisfied, the lesson continues and gets stronger to show you that now is the time to look for something else, because now it’s affecting your finances.
Firefly: Am I coming up on a shift in my relationship to abundance?
Council: Definitely. We would say definitely. You’re on the path there.
Firefly: Where can I place my focus in order to manifest what I want?
Council: First keep asking: “What is it. I need a sign. I need a hint. I’m ready now to receive it.” When you keep doing that, that puts out to the universe, or clicks into your higher self which says, “Okay, we can show her because she’s ready.”
So we would say to do that first, and then just play in your head with doing other things, even if it’s things you don’t really want to do, but see yourself doing other things. And whatever it is that you’re doing, you’re smiling, and you’re happy. Like a child could one day be playing house and being a mommy, and then the next day it could be pretending to be an astronaut. Keep doing that. And when you hit on the right path, the right way, you will know. So focus and play.
Firefly: Does The Council know of a practice that helps with this?
Council: The practice of meditation, and the practice of aligning chakras so the correct energy comes in so that you get your answers. But if nothing else, if you’re not able to meditate or focus on anything, sit. Sit quietly and just constantly ask for clues and help will come. So just focus on: “I’m ready for the answer. I’m ready now to accept this new life that I want. I am ready to receive abundance. I am ready to receive excitement, and happiness in a new career.” And then just see what comes, but constantly focus. Just sit quietly in a chair and say, I’m ready.
Firefly: Thank you so much for your response.
Council: And so we send you great love, happiness, understanding, hope, and kindness for the New Year that you are now going through in your reality. Ask for enlightenment when you pray, or when you meditate. Ask for understanding. But always ask to be connected to the love and the light in your heart, and that on a daily basis you can send it out and show people this love, this light, a kind word, a smile, and understanding, even if you don’t understand.
Just being supportive, that will help you grow. And as you grow, the person you affect grows also. It’s a wonderful thing that we are here to help each other, and that will continue in larger and larger areas of our lives. And so remember, to be of service, find the love you have for yourself and then share it with others.
