Remove money as a motivator and your desires look quite different.
Here’s a great awareness exercise:
Taking time out while on a walk or during a reflective moment you can find in your day…
And ask yourself, to consider if the things that you’ve aspired to do to make money up until now, are things you wld still want to do if you didn’t need the money.
A deep dive into your own desires and motivations provides yourself with value.
A friend of mine just got a keynote speaking engagement worth a great chunk of fiat that takes me currently 3 weeks to earn.
But she told me how she goes into flight or fight as soon as the gig is booked until she’s walking off the stage. And I know I would feel the same way- stressed. I used to design , sell then host wellness retreats for women internationally. And the pressure and stress I held during the entire process saw me losing out on family connection and inner peace. When I’m stressed I can’t be present.
At one stage in the past, I would envy her ‘success’ in being paid to speak.
But today I realised that I’ve spent the first half of my life up until now, doing things that I don’t want to do but I THOUGHT I wanted to do. Just to make money.
Remove money as a motivator and your desires look quite different.
How do yours change or shift?
You may need to ponder this over time. Developing deeper self awareness is like cooking a homemade pasta sauce, the slower it simmers the better the flavour. No need to rush the process.
I know I want to help rescue dogs and still have a purpose in leaving this world better off than when I left it.
But the vehicle for doing so has flipped on its hood.
I want quiet, community, bush and being of service. I don’t want spotlights or audiences. Not anymore.
