When you believe in something greater than yourself, and fully participate in its creation, you are in fact playing your part in the greater scheme, at one with all and everything. And this contribution is all encompassing, such that oftentimes self is lost to the universal sound, and this produces a state of bliss profound.

Make an effort to become part of a project of such a scale. Lose yourself in your work and take pride in every detail. And before long, as if by magic, will appear a manifested work of stupendous majesty and grace. This is the type of work with which one can then face the everyday with joy and satisfaction, and an excitement thus reflecting the journey ahead. This is what we mean by creative expression in this realm, and each of us is deserving of this experience.

So if you do not have a project of your own, make it your mission to track down another which takes your eye and serves to uplift and inspire. You will be drawn to the ideal work you desire when heart and mind are united in their view. Take whatever job is on offer there, however small. Give it your all, and don’t look back, and before you know it your contribution will be rewarded amply, and you will have become an integral part of its ongoing success.

All that is required is the will to search out your dreams, to keep looking until you find the perfect role, and then, for a time, you will be living out your goal of being absolutely present and useful day by day. And what a way to live, the only way.
