Thanks Ben – funny that you use the world soul – I was just writing about the connection between our souls and our real work at my blog today…and also how, yes, underneath it all, so often the reason we aren’t going for our real work is fear of failure or rejection.

A wonderful post Tara, thank you. I love how you talk about your real job being one that fits with your soul. So many people never allow that soul filling role they are here to play out to shine in the world because they are too afraid of either failure or rejection from others. .-= Ben´s last blog ..Work harder on yourself than you do on your job =-.

Not a problem at all, Ayo. Just assumed you were busy, and great to read your comment to Tara here. It’s a terrific post.

hi tara,
how are you?
thanks for sharing this. i was inspired and my take home thought for the day was everyone can do their real work – no matter what their job at the moment…… i alsoloved the way you broke it down by highlighting simple examples.
take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of the day.
@christine, forgive my silence. i had too many things to juggle around and i am shedding them off as quickly as possible lol!! loving the new pic in the sidebar.
take care

Hi Kristin,
Yes! I love Parker Palmer too…all his books. Got to hear him speak recently at Stanford…that was special.
In a culture where money is so central, I think it can be very difficult for us to remember what tremendous value there often is – for ourselves and for others – in doing things that don’t make money. More and more I see that what makes money is in part just a reflection of what our society values — given the level of consciousness we are at. If collectively we were more evolved, we’d value teachers and social workers and artists much more….
Thinking about it in those terms has freed me up around that.
Anyway, I’m very glad you took the leap you did. I certainly benefit!

Thanks Heather. Yes, this was a big revelation for me too – because I think (particularly as a coach ) it’s easy for me to get into having an agenda for my clients to have a job that matches their authentic passions. I’ve learned that its more fruitful to see all the paths one can take to incorporating “real work” into your life. It can look so many different ways.
