May your new work excite your heart,
kindle
in your mind a creativity
to
journey beyond the old limits
of
all that has become wearisome.
May
this work challenge you toward
new
frontiers that will emerge
as
you begin to approach them,
calling
forth from you the full force
and
depth of your undiscovered gifts.
May
the work fit the rhythms of your soul,
enabling
you to draw from the invisible
new
ideas and a vision that will inspire.
Remember
to be kind
to
those who work for you,
endeavor
to remain aware
of
the quiet world
that
lives behind each face.
Be
fair in your expectations
compassionate
in your criticism.
May
you have the grace of encouragement
to
awaken the gift in the other's heart,
building
in them the confidence
to
follow the call of the gift.
May
you come to know that work
which
emerges from the mind of love
will
have beauty and form.
May
this new work be worthy
of
the energy of your heart
and
the light of your thought.
May
your work assume
a
proper space in your life,
instead
of owning or using you.
May
it challenge and refine you,
bringing
you everyday further
into
the wonder of your heart.
By John O'Donohue.
