Work is how you connect with the world around you and provide for the exchange of resources, commonly called money, that allows you to stay warm and well fed. Sometimes this Reiki Principle is stated as “work hard.”

Here are some questions to ask yourself about this Reiki Principle:

 Am I honest in my dealings with my employers and clients? Am I working with integrity, or am I trying to cheat my employer?

 Am I following my true calling? Many people are searching to know what their best job is. The best job is doing the utmost with what you’re doing right now. If and when it’s time to change, your inner voice or a clear message from the universe will let you know. Following the nudging of your inner voice can be scary because doing what you know already is comfortable. (You can practice self-Reiki to curb these fears; see Chapter 10.)

 Am I honoring myself in my work? Working hard doesn’t mean abusing yourself. Knowing when to work late and when to rest is part of the art of living.

 Am I using my gifts and talents? Work is more than paid 9-to-5 employment. You might also volunteer, raise children, and keep a home. You may have many different skills and abilities to use at different times and situations. For example, you might be a gifted musician and play gigs on weekends.

The type of work you do isn’t as important as your attitude and dedication to the project. Remember: just for today.
