You are meant to have what you want
I had a major epiphany today (well several, over the past few days, but this one answered one of my longest-standing riddles).
You are meant to have what you want. That is how the world works.
There are a gazillion ways to make a living that don’t involve working 9-5, being on a contract, signing your life or your time away.
All of those ways could lead eventually to exponential earnings, because money loves money and attracts more money.
So whatever path you choose, eventually you will find yourself with more money than you know what to do with.
At that point, comes the unavoidable question of: what will you do with your life?
If you could live a life of total freedom, what would give it purpose beyond work and earning money?
It is the fact that we find answering this question so hard, that makes choosing the 9-5 seem easier. Makes signing the contract easier.
That’s why this is the first and only question that matters. What will you do? With all your time, with your resources, with yourself? What matters?
Answer that truthfully, and your reality will start form itself around the answers. It can’t help it. Whether you answer it now or after you have unlimited time, money and energy makes no difference. You will have to answer it someday. If you can’t answer the question, then it’s a matter of luck, not only whether you’ll ever get the chance to live the answer, but what the answer will turn out to be - in short, what you’ll end up doing with your life.
Happy imaginings!
First Quarter: Complete
Ten weeks ago (so not quite the start of the year, which started bumpily) I was feeling pretty low and when I realised it was ten weeks to the start of April and the Easter break, I committed to see what I could do to turn things around in that time. At the beginning, each week seemed to go so slowly, but the last three or four have just sped by. I didn’t really have much of a process or a vision for this, but I did everything I could to follow the positive vibes when and where they appeared and this resulted in an overhaul of my eating habits, meal planning, cooking, being much more organised at home, having better elements in my daily routine to choose from, being more productive creatively, sleeping a more regular schedule, and learning to connect spiritually in new ways.
Now the spring has well and truly come and those grim winter days are long gone (I don’t know about anyone else but I felt truly lost over the winter - ultimately in a helpful way but it wasn’t particularly fun!) and it seems with each day and hour even that I’m coming back to myself, stepping into my power and being more deliberate about what I want to make in the world.
So some questions for today as we embark on the next month and the next quarter and the happy run to midsummer’s day:
Who do you see yourself becoming by the end of June (or the solstice if that’s more meaningful to you)? How do you see your life changing?
What can you take from what you’ve learnt so far this year to embed in your daily life/routine as an improvement?
What’s driving you now? If it’s different from what was driving you at the start of the year then, how? What resources does this drive need?
