Please see my post on polarization in "Nice Guys Finish Last, Chicks Dig Darkworkers!" The original post was very tongue-in-cheek, but I just wrote a reply that deals with your clarification on polarization, conciousness, love and fear. Thanks for leading the charge to question polarization until we understand it. |
No, actually in my case I've been working my whole life as a SELFWorker. I've been very successful in it after I figured out how to get past my ego. THe thing is that NOW I'm starting to see the benefits of the WORLDWorker side and am wondering if it might be wise for me to switch to that side.
The way I kind of see is that as a SELFWorker you get to tell the universe what you WANT, and the universe then dictates HOW you get it. Which is what I've done in the past. I would set goals/intentions for myself and then allow the universe to show me projects and bring people into my life to help me accomplish those goals. This worked well for me and I've accomplished my goals/intentions and I keep setting new/higher goals.
The thing is that as a WORLDWorker you get to tell the universe WHAT you will do to help the world (ie. running a blog, or setting up a company, or a project), like for example you might set a goal to write 500 articles over the next 2 years on your blog (like Steve did), and then the universe dictatates how much money you will make.
So as a SELFWorker you get to pick what you WANT TO GET, as a WORLDWorker you get to pick what you WANT TO GIVE. Know what I mean?
In this model, I'm starting to think that it would be really cool for me to be able to choose what I want to GIVE and just allow the universe to pay me whatever it thinks it's worth (if anything), and just TRUST that I'll be taken care of, instead of my current path where I pick/set GET goals and the universe dictates what I give.
Steve, is this what happened to you between your software business and StevePavlina.com? Did you switch from SELF to WORLWorker unknowingly at that point in time and just started to focus on HELPING THE WORLD and eventually money rolled in, or did you sit down and say "I want to make $30k/month from my blog"???
My next point of questionning for myself is whether it's possible to do BOTH. To say "This is what I want to GIVE" and "This is what I want to GET for it."???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
