THE INNER REWARDS OF DOING WORK WITH LOVE and INTENTION THE POWERFUL BLESSINGS OF DOING
WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE
DONE LOVINGLY AND WELL
“The magic you are looking for can be found
In the work you have been delaying doing….” —Yeshe Gyamtso
There is a rhythm
In the work of hands
If one truly has the heart
To want to do it well.
There is a sweet rising of energy,
Of taking this body from rest and repose
Into the insistent realm of action
And using these muscles rippling
In my flesh to get something done
In the world outside this thick body.
As much as my mind may resist
And look for reasons or excuses
To dally in delay, I never allow
This inner balking to hold sway—
For I know of the inner rewards
And higher states that can be
Certainly achieved by getting up
And getting on with it and getting
Whatever needs to be done,
Done in sync with the sweet rhythm
Pulsating throughout the universe
As all beings seek for the
Way to higher ground on the
Wings of doing whatever needs
To be done with their full hearts,
Bodies and minds dedicated to
Doing the work lovingly and well.

“One of the greatest tragedies for humanity is that most of us are working at jobs we don’t like simply to make a living instead of using the talents, abilities and passions that we were born with to do the work we would love to do, that we are best suited for, that we can excel at and that would cause us to wake up every morning excited and happy to have a new day to do the work we were sent here by the divine to do…that serves the world, makes our hearts sing and leaves our souls feeling totally satisfied.”
