Valuing
Yourself through Work
The last law in Deepak Chopra’s
superseller The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is The Law of
Dharma. The word “Dharma” is a Sanskrit word that means “purpose
in life”. Explaining this law, Deepak Chopra says, “We have
taken manifestation in physical form to fulfil a purpose...”.
According to this law, each person has a unique talent and a unique
way of expressing it. Following one’s Dharma leads to wisdom
and inner peace. This book is all about the concrete process of
finding your unique talent and using it to advantage in your daily
life.
The author begins this book by describing the reason for
writing it as follows: “It is my attempt to spread the good I’ve
found in discovering my life’s work and having the opportunity to
do it every day. (In this book), I will walk you through the five
steps I took to move myself from corporate marketer to chief
relationship revolutionist at Relationships Matter Now LLC. While the
outcome may be different (for each one of you), I am certain that the
intangible results will be the same.

Fulfilment”. Clearly she is talking about Dharma.
The five
steps that the author uses in her book are as
follows:
1)Finding your voice
2)Finding your tribe
3)Starting
something and committing to use your best talents
4)Making a bold
move towards your life’s work
5)Doing your life’s work for
someone other than yourself
The five steps stated above are
self explanatory. That which is not self evident is that one might
need to return from step three to step one and repeat the process
until one has developed the talents that need to be expressed in this
particular lifetime. This is where Denise stresses that the role of
perseverance in this delicate process comes in, she demonstrates with
examples from her own life.
This book is an uncommonly
pleasant and friendly read. It uncovers issues of where one can get
lost in the process of discovering your “special” talents and the
language used testifies to a genuine and authentic concern for the
reader. There is not a trace of superiority or complacency of any
kind. Reading the book gave me personally, the warm feeling of a good
friend guiding me on an untrodden pathway.
The need for such a
book cannot be overemphasized today. This is especially so because of
the kind of corporate downsizing and job outsourcing that is going
on, and more and more of us are being forced to examine viable career
alternatives. It is imperative that this search leads to fruition in
uncovering of our individual dharmas in order to cultivate inner
peace in our society. To this end, this book is highly recommended.
