Steve, I may be hearing the call of the Lightworker.

I think I'm starting to "see" the difference between the two energies now and I think it's totally different from what I thought before.

For the first time in my life I'm really at a point now where I have SO MANY different ways / paths presented to me to make money. I've overcome my inner ego by completely obliterating it during my 90 days of running on a treadmill. I now feel so confident having the discipline to do anything I set my mind to.

The question now has become what to set my mind to.

I'm starting to see the differences between Lightworker / Darkworker. For example I'm working on building up my online income by building up my Blog. So far I've had some great success even though it's only been about 2 weeks.

All of a sudden though, because I'm diving deep into the whole "Make Money Online" thing that there are totally different paths to take. Some people choose the "Dark Side" and make money with "Black Hat" approaches that make them money really quick, but build absolutely no value for people in the traditional sense. For example, they get into setting up 1,000 spam blogs with adsense ads all over them to make a quick buck before moving onto the next thing.

Do they make money? Some. Are they sustainable? Some. Could I succeed at them? Absolutely if I choose to.

The other option, however is to build a website like yours, where I provide tremendous value to people and maybe it takes me a LOT LONGER to make money online, but I'm building value and expressing my creativity in the world. The real payoff becomes being able to express myself creatively, helping people, touching people's lives, and having a lasting impact on humanity for the long haul.

The possibility of having someone read one of my posts and getting inspired by it 100 years after I'm dead is as exciting for me as making money from what I do. In fact, the primary intention of making money simply becomes only to fuel my ability to creatively express myself. It's a bit hard to explain, but I think you know what i mean... it's not about the money anymore.

Another example is how you talked about a Lightworker being vegetarian because he/she wouldn't want to hurt animals. At first when I thought about that I didn't think that it was fair to say that vegetarians are lightworkers and darkworkers are not,but then the other day I was thinking about something.

A darkworker may very well to choose to be vegetarian as well, and have very strong beliefs about it, but the DIFFERENCE will be due to the fact that they have proven to themselves that a vegetarian diet is superior nutritionally, not because he/she cares about "the animals".

So, once again it's the same thing with "Vegetarianism". Are you a vegetarian because you care about the animals, and then as a side effect you also end up eating a more nutritious diet, or are you a vegetarian because you care about the nutritional side of things and as a side effect you also save some animals.

In either case you still do the same thing (don't eat meat) but the intention behind it changes.

All of a sudden I can see the whole lightworker/darkworker polarities in all areas of life that don't have to do with just making money.

I also see how you're talking about polarizing, because trying to accomplish a goal by following both a darkworker path and a lightworker path becomes counter-productive. You kind of have to consciously decide which path you want and then go down it that way with full faith that the "other side" of the equation will take care of itself.

So, having said that... you got any tips on how to become a more effective Lightworker once the decision has been made?
