Some of us have a job. We see our daily grind as a means to an end. What we receive in exchange for our time and skills pays to support our families, hobbies, or life outside of work. Life and work are two separate things. When someone asks you how you feel about it, you say, “It’s OK, but it’s not my life.”

Some of us have a career. The Spanish word for a career is Carrera which literally means a race. A career is a job with a built-in ladder that promises a race to the top of success and prestige. With it comes new titles, higher social standing, and the feeling that you’ve arrived. When someone asks you how you feel about your career, you say, “It’s OK, but it sure is taking over my life.”

Some of us have a higher calling. A higher calling is something you’re going to do no matter what, whether you’re getting paid for it or not. What you do is an integral part of who you are, your core values in life, and your identity – even if it means great sacrifice at times. You view what you do as a form of self-expression, personal fulfillment, or spiritual satisfaction. When someone asks you how you feel about it, you say, “It’s OK, because this is my life. This is who I am and who I came here to be.”

Which one do you have?

Whether you see yourself as having a job, a career or a higher calling, what matters most is that you’re truly happy and satisfied with what you have. Because if you’re not happy with what you have it will show in your level of motivation, passion, and enthusiasm for life. It will also affect all the relationships you have.

Now, imagine for a moment what it would be like if you could bring your job, career and higher calling into one.

If what you do for work every day is not only a path towards your own definition of success but also the deepest calling of your heart. How would you feel? How would your life be different?

What if you could access that part of yourself that knows exactly who you came here to be, and start creating a lifestyle and a business or practice that is fully in alignment with that.

Would you choose it? Would you start taking the necessary baby steps?

Would you embark on the adventure of creating the life you know deep inside your heart you came here to experience?

If your answer is yes and your heart’s true calling involves helping others grow, heal and transform, starting on September 20th, I’ll be taking a small group of people through a 9-month training program designed to help you awaken and align with your Higher Calling and start creating a life that is in greater alignment with your core values, and highest purpose in life.

This deeply transformational program will equip you with the theory, tools, and practical skills to lead and coach others from the love, wisdom, and power of your heart. It will not only transform your life and your relationships, but also the lives of those you came here to serve.

Because this is what going after your Higher Calling does: It changes you and it changes the world.

Can you love yourself enough to start following the higher calling of your heart?

From my heart to yours.
