Awakener; My Occupation. And yours?
My other half sent me a $25 credit I can use to loan someone as part of a microfinancing approach. This is through kiva.org an incredible manifestation of the idea that Muhammad Yunus started.
As
I signed up as a site member, the form asked me for my occupation. In
the past, I've answered with a number of responses-- executive or
entrepreneur or inventor for my small business futurehealth.org,
counselor, from when I worked in the mental health field, or
biofeedback practitioner, from when I used to work in that field as a
practitioner, writer when I've functioned as a freelancer in the past
or editor or journalist, more recently.
But today, I thought
about what I've been across many of those "occupations, and I typed in
"Awakener" because I realized that through most of my life, my work has
been aimed at waking people up. It feels so good to have founded a
community that is filled with fellow people who share the same
occupation. Do you volunteer for an NGO, non-profit, grass roots
politics? Do you write about issues that people need to know about?
Are you an educator, therapist, marketer, minister or coach? Try it on
for size. See if or how it changes your approach to what you do and
how you see yourself. It's just started to do its work on me.
