Dear Reader,

I hope you get value and inspiration by reading the article on career and abundance in this newsletter. The article is based on an introduction given by David Wolf at a recent group coaching session.

At a group session about two weeks ago a participant shared his discomfort with the term "career"- so he removed one of the letters and created "carer", thereby defining the gist of his life purpose. This little wordplay also captures the essence of the coaching sessions themselves. They are about caring enough for ourselves and the world around us to closely examine our lives and where we stand in relation to fulfilling our life purpose, and connecting with the courage to take action based on the insight we get. Read more in the article below...

Sincerely,

Annette

The following is a transcription of David Wolf's introduction at a recent group coaching call on abundance and career.

CAREER/ABUNDANCE GROUP COACHING

In thinking about career, we might think of "doing". And in thinking about abundance, we might think of "having". A key principle for personal development is "being", to live from our being. The paradigm of "be-do-have" is central to the Satvatove approach to spiritual fulfillment...When we're living our highest purpose, from our core, then our doing and having flow naturally from our qualities, from our being. In this series of group coaching sessions you'll have opportunity to take inventory in this area of career and abundance, and examine "to what extent are my career endeavors and efforts to attract abundance coming from my being?" If we're not living from being, then even if we achieve some results on the job, or acquire money, we won't be essentially satisfied.

Taking inventory is not a process of judgment, but rather objectively assessing this life dimension, and considering how fulfilled I am with this situation. And we get to look at what other possibilities exist- to live from a deeper place of being that brings satisfying engagement and abundance that gives exciting opportunities and choices.

When evaluating life areas such as career and money, it can be particularly easy to go into survival mode. "I need to survive, to eat, to pay the mortgage, so I need a job." We can inquire "In this area of my life, to what extent am I in survival mode, and to what extent am I genuinely thriving, living from a place of trust and surrender?" (I want to say that I'm not really comfortable with the term "career", though I suppose it's more inspiring than "job". Really we're talking about connecting with life purpose.) Are we on purpose? Living from choice, abundance and inspiration, rather than from fear, need, scarcity and insecurity? To what extent am I living from purpose, being fully expressed and contributing to the world and making the difference that I was created to make?

For some of us there may be a sense of being clear on my purpose, but not clear on how to go forward with it. In these sessions we'll generate a clear plan of action, challenging and realistic. In this way you'll get the support to manifest your vision. In some instances this might mean handling obstacles, growing yourself so that what now seems like a big problem, becomes something you easily manage. In abundance consciousness problems transform into opportunities, for personal growth and innovative strategies. In abundance mentality we see opportunity in every problem, and in scarcity mentality we see a problem in every opportunity. In this group coaching format we will focus on the paradigm of abundance, in the context of a balanced life, spiritually, physically, emotionally and in our relationships.

For some, you might be in a place where you're really not clear what a purpose-driven life would look like. You'll have opportunity to get clarity on life purpose, on a mission that is fulfilling to your core, aligned with your values and principles.

In some cases we may implement specific strategies, structures and tools to facilitate you to effectively pursue your life plan. This might mean reviewing communication skills, or perhaps writing a Personal Achievement Compact (PACT) that provides a vehicle and format for you to move forward with commitments generated from your being. Maybe you'll look at money management strategies consistent with your integrity and principles.

In this coaching format you'll be supported to consider what might be getting in the way internally- self-defeating beliefs, self-sabotaging strategies. Taking inventory and shining the light of awareness of what you're bringing from your past is a great first step to making necessary changes for achieving what is vitally important for you. The principle is that things go from subtle to gross. If something is not working in an area of my life, I know that the origin is in my consciousness. The good news about this is that by shifting consciousness I can change the results in my life. So we'll take a look at what's going on inside. What am I believing, perhaps unconsciously, about abundance, about success.
