Meaningful Work

It comes down to this: If you are willing to know yourself deeply and trust what you have to offer, your teaching will be potent, exciting and magnetic. Lasting success – especially financial – is built on this. Your classes will be fuller, your students will keep coming back and your work will have meaning that runs deeper than good marketing and tricks for avoiding burn out.

Meaningful work is a reflection of right livelihood. Meaningful work not only fills a need in the world, but fulfills the one who offers it. Meaningful work is service. Service is compassion, a true desire to add rather than subtract and the path of inquiry and clarity.

Once you have “right view” and apply “right effort” the path unfolds before you. AND this takes work. Finding this takes looking at what’s hard and dark and perhaps what’s scary about who we are. Finding this takes courage, the courage to go deeper on our hardest days or in our darkest moments.

This is how we foster authenticity, meaning and longevity. Teaching truly is an inner path.

So, how do we create meaningful work? First we have to look at what really matters to us. What parts of our current work life do we line up with? What parts bring us joy and were are we resisting?

To get started on this path take a look at “How To Be The Kind of Teacher You Really Are” in the Blog section. This will get your juices flowing and give you some work to do… . A good place to start!
