Identify with your spirit

How do you identify yourself? If you're at a party, the most likely question you'll be asked by a stranger is: what do you do? That's an easy way to make contact with a new person, to have a way to start a conversation.

Most of us do identify with what we do. We're a mom, a dad, a teacher, a doctor, an office manager, a beautician, an artist. All of these are roles, and of course, these roles are important.

But our roles are not who we are. We are so much more than our roles. We are - spirit - a part of the whole, of the Universe, of the cosmos. We are so much more than our roles.

Practice this for a day: identify with your spirit. See what happens. Remember that you are so much more than your ordinary worries, your problem relationships, your ability to make decision. Identify with the larger you, the one who has been leading you all along.

As you begin to identify more with your spirit, you will find that you look for the spirit in others, as well.

Warmly,
