You may be focused on your professional responsibilities today, which may be because of your devotion to your work. Bringing focus to your tasks could make you feel the value of your work and give you a sense of accomplishment. Perhaps you wish to release any specific goal that you have in mind and simply allow yourself to delve into the flow of your activities. Letting yourself be swept away with the passion of your work can make it not only much more enjoyable but also a living meditation where there is no goal except to exist and savor each moment. If you can bring this way of being into your work today, you might realize that everything you do can bring you closer to personal transformation -- even the most routine of daily tasks.

Our work has the power to alter the way we live our lives. So often we view our work as simply something that allows us to live. Approaching our work as if it were an extension of our spiritual practice, however, makes what we do have greater meaning for us. It means that when we accept and do our tasks, we are living in the present moment -- not wishing for something different to do or something earth-shattering to happen. Learning to be in this way infuses all of our activities with the sacredness of being and makes our dedication all the more worthwhile. By making your work your meditation today, you will have a new perspective on the relationship between your professional and spiritual lives.
