The following are excerpts of some of the materials that I have been reading recently.
************************************************************************************
"WHen Sigmung Freud was asked,' What is the meaning of life?' he answered,'Love and work.' For many, especially in our Western culture, work comes first because it is viewed as a means to get love, contentment and happiness and to find meaning in life. Many people measure their worth by what they do, not who they are. Work is the area of our lives in which we can strive to prove our worth of being enough."
"Work, however, is an opportunity to find and express the true meaning of our lives. We are here to express the potential that lies dormant in all of us. Each of us has gifts that are not being expressed becaused they have been contaminated by limiting beliefs connected to work. We think we work to find meaning and achieve status so eventually we will be enough, but the truth is, we are already enough, and work is the expression of the passion that comes from fulfilling our potential It is in this expression that we experience meaning and purposed to our lives.
