The Resume

Have you ever prepared or read a resume that talks about the failures or negative things a person has experienced in their career? Of course you haven’t! When we write our resume it is done so with the objective of selling ourselves to a perspective employer in a way that  will garner us an interview. When we craft a resume we only talk about the good stuff we have done! Even if we had a negative experience we spin it to reflect it in a positive light.

Consider for a moment what a resume of your life would be? I am not talking about your job/career accomplishments, I am talking about your life experiences and all of the roles that you have and do play. What would that resume look like?

Did your thoughts go to all of the things that have happened in your life that you are not so proud of? Remember, a resume is a document of experiences and achievements which demonstrate the beauty of you and does not rehash that which you view as negative experiences.  If a negative experience does come to mind let it flow through your thoughts, look at it from different angles and ask yourself what lesson or what positive was gained from this experience that would reflect well on your resume?

What would your life resume look like? For me an effective resume always begins with a clear objective. In this case the objective might read as follows:

Objective: To expose my soul and allow the love that is the true me to shine through and radiate to the Universe; to demonstrate the beauty and divinity of my being. To remind myself of whom I truly am and to release and forgive myself for all and anything which I continue to carry as a negative experience.

Next comes a person’s qualification which might read as follows:

Qualifications: An eternal being, a divine extension of source, an intrepid traveler along an endless journey who is both a teacher and a student. Currently in human form, having human experiences which are designed for me to accomplish my purpose and grow in wisdom through lessons which are provided to me.

From here you list the many accomplishments and lessons learned, remember all of which match up to your above objective.

References: Here you could list all of the people whom love you and would share that love of you with anyone who asked. Of course this does not need to be limited to those whom you know love you, you could even open this up to the unknown multitudes of people whom you have touched with your love, be it the beggar on the street that you gave money/food to or the elderly person whom you helped up the stairs or the child who was lost whom you helped find their mother. Truly you have positively touched many people in ways greater than you realize.

If you have the inclination and time, writing your personal life resume can be a very loving thing to do for yourself. This exercise helps you to understand and remember the beauty whom you are and how much you mean to all of us as we are all one. Have fun with this.

Once you have completed your life resume remember to update it at least once every six months with all the changes that have transpired along your journey. This document, like you should be every changing, evolving if  you will as you evolve.
