The Practice of Law

The Practice of Law

by | July 19, 2013 | Living Our Best Life, Practicing Law and Life | 0 comments

Everything we do in our life can serve our personal and spiritual development. This applies equally to the practice of law. No matter how we may try, and I have tried separating my work life from the rest of my  life, it does not work. When I take the  dedication that I  give  to my clients and apply it to the purposes of work in terms of myself- everybody wins. Advancing who I am is never in conflict with the practice of law. It’s in complement. It  not only makes me a  better attorney, it serves the deeper purposes of my life.

The practice of law can be tough, demanding and sometimes overwhelming. Preparing  a case is a test of nerves- going over every possible detail so  nothing is missed and making sure the  message is on point. Whether you are a litigator or not, do civil or criminal work, plaintiff or defense, business, elder law or any other area of law, we help people protect what they value.

What do you value most about who you are and who you can become?  What is living inside of you that is waiting to come out into the world?  Advancing your personal and spiritual evolution lifts everyone around you.  Your comments are greatly appreciated.

I think of myself as part lawyer, seeker and sharer. We are all so busy taking care of our clients and the many demands of being a lawyer, how do we have time for the practice of law to be about more?

To me, the purpose of being a lawyer is not just about how I help my clients. It’s equally about me living the most successful inner personal life I can. If I can infuse who I uniquely am into my practice and integrate that into becoming a better person then I can raise the bar on my life.

That’s what this blog is for. To help us all navigate our relationships to ourselves, our lives and the law and seeing how they all intersect. I’m always searching for new and innovative perspectives. It’s a continuing process that, day-by-day, through expanding the purposes that work serves, we are able to build both a successful practice of law and life. Hopefully you can find an occasional nugget of truth here that resonates for you.

When we are living our best life, then we’ve raised the bar for the world. I believe hearing how we overcome challenges and self-imposed limitations are how we lift one another. I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts and ideas as well. Thanks for joining the conversation.
