Do your work.
Ask for the inspiration to do your work well.
Become good, very good, at what you do.
Ask for inspiration for both the repetitious aspects and for new ideas.
At some point, there is a merging, a cross-over, and the repetitious, which has by now become automatic, leaves room for more inspiration and new ideas.
Beyond that comes insight.
There is simply something deeper.
Beyond the repetition, past the automatic, there is beauty, symmetry, and… something else.
Every time you reach the “something else”, you discover insight.
Your facility, your competence, your inspiration take you beyond what you are doing, into why you are doing it, into why it exists, and then you find your insight.
After that, you can take yourself through the steps pretty quickly and add the most value and satisfaction to your work through insight.
Then your work reaches farther and has more than just the physical result of providing you a living.
It lets you live more and more in the realm of inspiration and, ultimately, service.
Your life becomes something for more than yourself.
You become able to give others a glimpse into the deeper, more inspired aspects of your work.
You become able to inspire and uplift others, right where you are, as you go beyond yourself into the deeper work and service.
