Work

i caught myself saying today- "if im not making money working, then why do it at all?" ...and then wondered why those words came out of my mouth in that order. let us rearrange this phrase shall we...

Why do it at all if i am not ________ at work.

some may continue to place "making money" in this blank, but i will reconsider.
the point of work is not money
because the point of my life is
not merely to have a "job".

here are my options:
why do it at all if i am not growing at work.
why do it at all if i am not joyful at work.
why do it at all if i am not challenged at work.

more possibilities:
smiling; relating to people, loving, teaching, learning... i could continue for a while but encourage you to think of your possibilities for the blank.

my life's purpose is not to make money. or to spend it.

in summation--
a job is necessary to pay bills
fulfilling my purpose is imperative to my truth
i am financially stable (as much as a student can be)
and am in need of nothing.
therefore,
work = fulfilling truth and bringing love
work ≠ overflowing pockets of cash flow

Namaste

  1. This is an incredible post! You make such beautiful points about money. I recently went to a conference about investing, etc. and one of the sayings we had to say was "I control money, money DOES NOT control me".

    Anyway, so much love and blessings to you!
