Being a Faithful Servant

“Steward”: A person who is responsible to take care of something.
I’ve been a good steward of my work, Reinvention Revolution, today.
I’ve stayed the course and remained committed to the spirit of the work.
Further, I took the actions that were inspired as a result of my alignment with my commitment to Reinvention Revolution.
In my heart, I can feel that Reinvention Revolution, for me, means a commitment to ignite the spirits of midlife reinventers worldwide, with hope, inspiration, and how.
This wasn’t my dream when I started being a coach in 1997. It has evolved, slowly and surely. Only in hindsight can I see the path.
So, I realize that I can’t expect to see the path forward from here. I can only be a faithful steward to what is emerging through me as the work evolves.
In other words, this work will show me what it is, step by step. My job is to show up every day aligned as much as possible with what I know the spirit of the work to be.
Today, I did that. I meditated to clear my thoughts, I sat and felt, in my heart, as best I could, the spirits of reinventers everywhere, and I was inspired to write several short pieces which I will publish on the Reinvention Revolution blog.
This is what I am called to, for now. Only in retrospect will the fullness of the ‘how’ and the path be visible to me.
But each step is known by me, if I sit and listen.
And that is the true call, to keep myself as free as possible of the doubting perspectives in me, and sit, listen, and take the next inspired step.
That is what I did today, and it felt good.
