Living The Miracle with Michael & Raphaelle Tamura

How many times were you asked as a child, “What are you going to be when you grow up?” When adults first started asking me that question, I was a bit confused. My immediate response in my head was, “More of what I am, of course.” But everyone seemed to be expecting an entirely different kind of answer. It took me a few years to realize that pretty much what everyone meant when they asked what I was going to be when I grew up was about what kind of career I was going to pursue.

What was I going to pursue as my career path? Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief…starts the most common version of an old counting game, nursery rhyme, and divination tool that was popular with first English, and later American, children. It was used at times to count out who was going to be on which team and at other times to count the items for sorting or just for fun. In the late 1800s and the early1900s, girls often used a longer version of the rhyme as a fun fortune-telling game to predict their future marriage prospects(!) depending on what word the counting ended on.

Some people start off early in their lives planning out a career in a chosen profession, business, art, craft, trade, or some other line of work. Others feel they have no clue what they will do or in which direction they wish to go in life. Still others may not think they will have a career, but just look for work to help put a roof over their heads and food on the table. Yet, career is defined as: “an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress.”

Whether you are independently wealthy and don’t need to work to earn an income, are retired, or are poor and desperately seeking any kind of job for pay, you still occupy your life with some sort of creative activity, or work, all of the time. Besides, whatever it is that you do always provides opportunities for your learning and progress. So, everyone has a career path whether they think so or not.

Whatever your career path is, however, you need to take proper daily care of it. After all, no matter what you do as your primary “work”, undoubtedly you spend a good part of your day each day doing it. It’s pretty obvious that I teach. I teach every day and every night—even while I sleep! I’ve been teaching for as long as I can recall. Yet, the actual “teaching a class or seminar” is the easiest and quickest part of my work. It’s everything I do in preparing to teach a class as well as all I do after teaching the class that takes the bulk of my time, attention, and work. It’s my life work as well as my spiritual path. Every career path is like that. It’s the work you do in your life to learn, heal, and grow. A writer may write an article for a publication. Writing the actual article may be the easiest and least time-consuming part of the writer’s work. A writer could pour weeks and months into research, interviews, and other preliminary work that has to get done in order to write the article. To get the article published, the writer may communicate with many editors, publishers, and others in the publishing industry. But, above all, a writer has to live his or her life to be able to share it by writing. Your career is always the creative expression of who you are and your life. So taking daily care of your career is as essential as daily care of your health needs or your spiritual well-being. Daily care of your career and work-life is also a major part of your spiritual path. It’s basically how you fulfill your soul purpose for being here in this world.
