Align Passion and Purpose for work of Service

By Linda Ferguson on January 29, 2013

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m doing a series this year with posts from excerpts from my first book, “Path for Greatness: Work as Spiritual Service“.

Below is my framework from the 1st chapter for aligning your gifts, passion and purpose.  Most people feel burned out, stressed out, bored, or frustrated when their talents and skills aren’t aligned with the work they are doing.

People need to feel they are utilizing their gifts and sharing them in a way that feels worthwhile.  Most people get excited about making a positive impact with their work and for the world.

If your staff aren’t as motivated or engaged as you’d like, check to see if there is a good fit between their goals, skills, interests and passions with the work you are asking them to do.

**************************

Linda's framework for working spiritually

Personal spiritual greatness comes from having fertile soil (spiritual inspiration, values, and principles), firm roots (purpose), strong stem (passion), developed leaves (gifts), and sweet nectar (Service).

Your greatness of character, your authenticity, and your integrity blossom out in the magnificence of your being when these are in alignment.
