What is your life's purpose + what do you do to make money?

Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, they never get around to doing the things they want to do.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius power and magic in it. Begin Now!

Goethe


I have been reading Emerson's Essays on Self Reliance, and Spiritual Law....Turns out we are perfect just the way we are~ There is no higher power...We are in and of the creative nature of the universe. It is us and we are it....this means the divine spark within us is continually prompting us to be what we are. And the emotion we feel when we are being what we were meant to be is joy or contentment. We are fully engaged and we like it...

Geez, those surfer guys I grew up with were attuned to their love of the water, the feeling of connection with the primal mother ~feeling, blending and moving in synchronicity Nature. I saw more relationships, marriages, break down over the amount of time and money spent on the "need for speed" ...and it turns out they had it pretty much right...they did what they loved...what felt good to them. It was their birthright. In the marriages that prospered, the woman made allowances for this drive to express in and on the water....And the men became more available as their children were born. Compromise and understanding.

So what is it that you love, what do you feel the best doing...? It seems a great place to look for your life's purpose. Yes, well many things feel good that are not necessarily a way to give your unique beauty back to the world and be compensated for it.

There is a set of tapes by Rick Jarow that are called the "anti-career guide" http://www.anticareer.com/ that coach and explore the realms of creating the work you love and the money will follow...He gives workshops and teaches college. Rick spent many years in India, and is imbued with a very eastern outlook on life. I have an affinity for the Eastern Thought, only because I see "truth" in the belief system...so my truth includes much eastern thought...and really, feelings.

I think my next creation is a service that provides fun and relaxation, while creating intention...a gathering based on what do you want to do when you grow up?

Huh! Well enough musing in the head, today is one more day in my being with fear, it's really getting harder to do~ more like being numb than fearful --- It is my intention to see this out for the week...but it is so much NOT fun that I may not cooperate for that long....

I know it is important to address....BUT Really, I have no gut for extended periods of fear...
