I have found that in my and other witches around myself's lives that our craft is a path of growth which leads into other growth. Most of my friends believed that that growth was to lead them into another better job/career/business. We all found that the path into other things almost always began with our finding joy where we were. Sometimes that meant changing our thoughts and actions about our jobs/careers to the point where people don't even recognize us anymore, but those changes have made it so that we are happy. Period.
For most of us that has merely meant choosing to follow the saying "As you think so stall you be" to it's logical conclusion and focusing on positive things in everything we did. Somehow where there was negativity before there came positivity, and where there was nothing, opportunity, hope and abundance grew. Many of us found ourselves in the same job, but somehow the job flowered around us.. Where before there were only sticks and thorns our job bloomed into a place of joy.
My life partner expressly loves moving to another job, shining her joy and positivity around and watching the business change. The people around her change, the customers change, the bosses and rules change, and by the time she leaves, where there was a pit of misery there is now a positive environment, with positive customers and positive bosses.
Once or twice I could see these happenings as coincidence, but I have seen it 5 times. What changes? Magick.
That's one end. Here's mine. I had a computer business that I'd been running for 5 years. I did it as a job. It paid the bills and "unfortunately" I had to do work to earn the money I needed. Somehow I always had "just enough". However, I got sick of that life and wanted to change. I have many business ideas and inventions and I wanted to just do something else, but felt trapped. Magickally the right people and influences came into my life. In the period of 5 months my business has gone from something I do until I can get out of it, into something I'm excited about making something big. I'm spending 60+ hours a week on it and while by the end of the day I'm tired, I'm usually happy and looking forward to tomorrow's opportunities.
I told myself that my biggest fear was being where I was in 10 years. And it was. However I have found that by walking my Magickal path I have been able to little by little feel "Witchy" more often. Almost throughout my entire day, EVERY DAY, I feel "Witchy". I remember that my Will holds power and I get to watch again and again how my life proves it. It's like I get to watch this universal inside joke... again... and again... and again... and...
I didn't have to leave my life to be "witchy" all the time. I had to live it instead of avoiding it. And once you're living life in your power by CHOOSING how you'll think about it, you'll find that you start looking forward to everything you do... because you made it... and it's all good.
