When I begin my day with work on my own projects, it's definitely easier to maintain focus. |
Hi there -- I think you, and maybe Matt, misunderstood what I was saying; I'm sorry that I wasn't more clear.
I'm not talking about the specific work you're doing; it doesn't matter whether it's your own projects or your outside employment. Either way, you have the choice of what you want to generate within what you're doing. Either way, you can be going towards something, or you could be going away from something -- you can be generating, or you can be resisting.
When I ask you to look at what you could be generating in your work, whether it's outside employment or your own projects, I'm talking about an inspiring way of being that would have you leaping out of bed because you can't wait to get started expressing that way of being -- you are bursting with inspired action.
For me, it's being Bold Inspiration, and being a Joy Activist. Living my life in the context of being Bold Inspiration and being a Joy Activist has me making my choices differently, and has all my work occurring for me as a lot of fun rather than endless tireless obligation. It also has me measuring "success" in a very different way!
What I was asking you was not what you would be DOING, but what you could be BEING that would light you up, inspire you, having you be in love with your life? What could you be being, regardless of what you're doing, that would really make your life worth living?
