Wouldn’t it be nice if you could earn big money doing what you love!
Most people doubt that possibility but that’s only one side of the issue.
Many clients tell me they have NO IDEA WHAT they love to do.
Let’s tackle both sides of this issue because something called creativity is the way forward for both.
Did you know…
– You are a born creator.
– You are a powerful creator.
– A happy person is a person being creative.
Allow me to clarify.
If you’re being creative, you’ll most likely be doing something you love and remember this, you don’t have to be an artist, writer or composer to be creative.
Being “creative” is doing anything you’ve never done before; moving into new experiences.
You could also call it moving forward, growing or evolving.
Look at nature.
What happens when nature is not growing or evolving?
If a tree is not growing, it’s dying.
Nature is always growing and evolving, and we ought to be too.
If you feel you HAVE to do your job, see that as red flag because it’s probably doing you more harm than good.
When you’re doing what you HAVE to do, you’re going uphill and moving AWAY from what you want.
What’s a good way to tell if you’re being creative and evolving?
You know you’re on track if you’re getting new experiences, doing something new for you and it feels like fun. Simple!
When we give ourselves permission to do something that feels like fun IT FEELS GOOD.
If that’s the case then no matter how silly it seems, DO IT.
I’ve found that…
all those intangible things like family, friends, health, fun and adventure are just as important, if not more important
… than income.
They are things money can’t buy.
Be sure to thoroughly enjoy them on your journey.
John Lennon said,
“Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans”.
Don’t spend most of your life hating what you do.
Don’t sacrifice the fullness of your life and your happiness for a pay check.
3 Things You Can Do Today
Step 1: Contemplate something fun you’d like to do.
Make a decision. You can’t get to a destination if you don’t know where you’re going.
If something doesn’t feel like fun – DO NOT do it.
(note: you may feel a little nervous and if so that’s a good sign! There is a difference : )
Step 2: Imagine you could start tomorrow – what’s something you
can do today to get going?
e.g. Would you need to study? Can you buy a book on the subject?
Could you start part-time?
Perhaps you could research information on the Internet.
Perhaps a start would be a simple as reorganising your office or clearing clutter!
Any small step will move you forward.
You’ll start giving yourself permission to do the thing you want to do and you’ll start moving into people and circumstances that help you.
Step 3: What to do if you still don’t know what to do.
I have a revolutionary new tool to help you discover what you love and it’s called your WHY.
When you know your WHY, life makes sense.
When you know your WHY, you have clarity, confidence and DIRECTION.
When you know your WHY, you live with passion.
Once you’re living with passion and doing what you love, money comes as a side-effect.
If you’d like to find out what matters to you, what you’re compulsive about and what you believe, let me know.
Don’t waste another day, month or year wondering!
You’re meant to be happy and DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
