*the importance of permaculture and self-sufficiency* . It’s no surprise that Earth and her people are changing pretty rapidly. Most people agree that climate change is a real thing. I mean, the polar vortex in the Midwest this past week? To me something is definitely going on here and I’m speaking up about small solutions we can all take part in, to really #bethechange. . Permaculture is care for the Earth, for ourselves, and for each other. It’s a way to grow food that regrows itself every year in simple to create ecosystems that mimic the forest. It’s as easy as turning a lawn into a garden, planting 10 trees in a 10th of an acre and surrounding them with veggies. This is a new movement toward self sufficiency! If we are self sovereign, independent, we wouldn’t have to rely on complex systems that require our food to come from 1,000s of miles away. Self sufficiency means more exercise, more health, more abundance, more empowerment for each individual that chooses to take part. Did you know an acre and a half of land can grow 37,000 POUNDS of produce in a year?! . If one day you couldn’t go to the grocery store for food, what would you do? Just something to think about. We got this guys, there’s lots of resources and people who live their lives to teach permaculture not for money’s sake, but for the sake of Earth and her people. I’m doing my best to share this with the world in my local communities and with friends on social media - if I can help in any way, please let me know! . . #followyourdreams #permaculture #selfsufficient #selfsovereignty #sovereignty #sheetmulching #drylandspermaculture #trending #climatechange #newearth #consciousness #awakening #takeaction #empowered #empoweredleaders #actiontaker #influencer #independence #inspiration #motivation #aries (at Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXqnSBglvz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15c3yllt126h

If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood... ..” ―  Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. 😊📺 #Reflection – #Abundance –  📸📰 ¡ The reflection of the current social paradigm tells us we are largely determined by conditioning and conditions.

How to Keep "That Fire in Your Gut" Passion for Your Work

How to Keep "That Fire in Your Gut" Passion for Your Work

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about “passion.” That kind of “fire in your gut” passion. Think about your first love, and the emotions that surrounded you when you thought of seeing them or the possibility of spending the rest of your life with them. Think also about the passion you felt about that “prefect” job, that passion that made you excited to get up in the morning and go to work because work energised you. Perhaps you even enjoyed working long hours or even working the weekends because of that passion. It filled you, it motivated you, it made you passionate about the relationship that was your work.

As with any “new” relationship or job, that passion wains overtime if you are not careful to care and nurture it. I used to joke about my parents or grandparents talking so fondly about the past and now I understand they were trying to relive the passion filled times of their lives. There are ways to rekindle your passion, careers ebb and flow over time and keeping the fire alive is a career long process.

As a senior leader in my school with over 25 years of experience in school leadership, I find myself revealing in the passions of the past. Those feelings that filled me with energy, creativity and the doggedness to do great things. I’ve spent some time reflecting and wondering how I have kept that passion alive over the years. I feel this is an essential part of what good leaders do, it is the part that excites others, that spurs the team on during difficult times and entices others to join the team. Passion breads passion and passionate people do great things.

Are you experiencing a “passion” deficit in your work life? Does it seem like the weeks drag on and on? Do you have to pull yourself out of bed each morning, dreading the day ahead? If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s time to re-light the fire in your gut. A few simple suggestions may be all you need to rekindle your passion.

1. Re-kindle your fire: Think back to your sweet spot job, the job that most ignited you the fire in your gut. What was it about that job that most excited you? Does your current assignment allow you to that one thing that excited you the most? If not, is there something you can do to rekindle the fire? If it does, how can you extend it or do more of it? Is there something new that excites you that you could apply to your current assignment? Do you need to make a job change?

2. Reconnect to your strengths: Key leadership gurus and research tell us that higher levels of job satisfaction come from working and leading in our areas of strength. Doing that has a greater impact of satisfaction and longevity that pay or working conditions. Identify and reflect on your strengths. Listen to what others say about you in your field. Are you still adding value in your areas of strength? If not, how can you focus on your strengths in your daily work?

3. Have the right mindset: Every job has duties or aspects that damper the fire in our guts. The key it to balance the mundane and boring aspects with the parts that light our fire. Attitude makes all the difference. Having that can-do attitude and planning so that the majority of your time you are using your gifts will enable you to keep that loving feeling about your job. Reflect on the duties of your job and consider how you can schedule, delegate, or realign your day to day activities to allow you to work in your areas of strength. When you wake up each morning, choose your attitude.

4. Align your work with who you are: We cannot separate who we are as a person from who we are as an employee. If your life values, life vision, and intrinsic beliefs are not in alignment with your work, you become disengaged, disconnected and ineffective. You cannot disconnect “self” from different areas of your life, it just doesn’t work that way.

5. Try something new: Consider what you value now in light of your natural gifts and talents. Do they still align with your job? Is there something new you can focus on? Experiment with different areas of your work to find out which aspect of it keeps you enthusiastic and motivated.

In summary, lack of passion lead to burnout, disengagement, negativity, and disillusionment. Rekindling your passion and ensuring you have that “Fire in Your Gut” feeling are essential to job effectiveness and satisfaction. How different would your career be if you kept the fire burning, if you were able to work in your areas of giftedness and others were inspired by your passion. Passion breads passion and passionate people do great things.

Here is my takeaway from my contemplation and subsequent article: “No matter where you are in your career journey passion is the key to sprinting to towards your goals not skating to the finish line.”
