Translating faith
On the way to my interview with the YMCA, I translated the Christian concept of faith into something I could work with.
I was setting intentions to "shine bright" during the interview, and thought, "That's an interesting way to view interviews: Look, this is how I shine." As in, this is how I shine.
And then I thought, "Ack! What happens if they don't offer to hire me!" How does one not take that personally? "Sorry, your shine just isn't good enough."
I put myself in their shoes and realized that what I would mean would be, "Great! You shine so beautifully. Thank you so much for showing us. The Universe, however, has picked a different star for us at this time. Best wishes for now!
I suppose that's one way to not take it personally. And to trust that Spirit/The Universe/God/whatever has something else in mind for this shining star.
That makes so much more sense to me than anything they ever said at church.
