Why bother have a career?

[seeker5]

Ok, I finally watched the secret DVD tonight, and it bought to surface some questions I've had about LOA that I've been meaning to ask this past year. The question is this, if we can use LOA to attract into our lives whatever we want, then why bother work hard at creating something unique for the world? Why have a job or career?

Furthermore, if everyone can use LOA to attract into their lives the help they need, then why should I be there to create things to help them? That is, why be a lightworker? In the sense, that if someone is using LOA, they will get the help they need, and if I'm not the one creating the help for them, then someone else will create it for them due to LOA. That is, if someone is supposed to get something because they attract it with LOA, it doesn't matter if I'm the one creating it, because if I'm not, the universe will make sure someone else creates it for them. Thus, why bother work hard, since I'm so very easily replaceable.

I'm very curious about these questions, because when I start thinking deeply about LOA here, I seem to feel that it's pointless to go about creating a career.

Personally, and call me crazy but I think that is the right mind set, I just don't know as human beings if we are ready for that yet...

Another thing is, I am not sure if anyone can use LOA, it takes real self discipline and concentration, this is not alot of peoples best qualities...

You came here to Earth-school to learn. In most cases there are particular lessons you want to get. The creation of different experiences allows those lessons to occur. Why come to third-dimensional reality and then try to avoid 3D action?

Why help anyone else? I think you know the answer to that already.

The Secret manifested a lot of money for a few people. But I guess it's a start to get people going.

Yes, indeed.. why bother??

You need to do what's fun for you..

Why have a job or career?

Well, job's and careers are EGO fear sells.. the ego says.. "need money to live" "can't have cool stuff without money" "get a good job cause you don't want to eat potatoes like my parents did"

In this time of change.. people are starting to realize that they don't need to work to be provided for.. I don't know about much of your’ all' experiences.. but I've only held a job for half my adult life tops.. I've gone without income 50% of the time and still been quite comfortable..

Furthermore, if everyone can use LOA to attract into their lives the help they need, then why should I be there to create things to help them?

Ahh.. who says you need to create things?? hmm.. did I miss the chapter on the book of life.. entitled "Create things for others is a MUST DO"

That is, why be a lightworker?

What is a lightworker?? I see that and dark thrown around a lot.. but I don't seem to know exactly what it is NOR CARE really.. why be limiting by assigning yourself a LABEL???

It is pointless if the CAREER.. doesn't excite you.. if you don't find it fun, enjoyable or at least NEUTRAL.. You are maybe just doing analysis on what is fun for you... looking for a permission slip to release yourself from EGO/Belief BS.. here yah go.. wrote you won.. RELEASE and LET GO..

It's a selfish life.. live selfishly always

I'm calling you out on this one.. Absolute BS!!!

LOA doesn't take discipline and/or concentration.. you don't even have to know it exists to use it.. you are placing LIMITATIONS on a unlimited process/experience/creation..

What it really sounds like your describing.. is the 2 kinds of people in the world factor..

a. The quick in quick out.. these are the people that buy diet books, dozens of LOA books or whatever.. try it.. = NO CHANGE and go it doesn't work

b. The other kind such as probably myself never give up, and never surrender.. a positive type of optimist attitude to say as if.. "doesn't matter if it it works or not" what can it hurt??

But there's one key thing you’re missing here.. this is my belief as it where.. once a person knows about LOA.. they can go back and look at it later even after failure and through simple ego/analysis see it working in their lives.. you see I think LOA has the power to be seen even after you are a type a. person..

[Infinte7]

On another note, I would not say LOA is just about attracting money into your life, I think it can be used for that, but in my opinion, its generally about attracting positive energy, people, situations, etc...

This world is our little play thing creation have fun with it...

Live with no guilts and you will be fine...

I can not even argue with you on that...You make very good points and maybe this perception will help me create a stronger energy field, thanks for the advice!!!

I agree with this 100%. Once you learn about LOA you look back and see everything in your life so much more clearly. It's like what seemed so out of control is now completely explained ... it's a powerful feeling.

The purpose of your career is not to work hard; the purpose of your career is to feel the joy and exhilaration that comes when you deliver your unique gifts and talents to the world in a creative way.

It's true that everyone on the planet uses the LOA but not everyone uses it to attract good into their lives... some people use it to attract stuff on the other end of the stick. Using the LOA does not require diligence or hard work; everybody is using it every moment of their lives.

It's true that the Universe could use someone else to assist others, and it will use another route if you back out of your role because the Universe is flowing and flexible.

But you came here with a purpose, and you are a lightworker because of the joyful experience it brings you, not to achieve a specific end result.

It is pointless to work hard, because working hard goes against the nature of the Universe, which flows with ease and grace. You can become very successful without working hard, simply by aligning yourself with the flow of the infinite intelligence.

We don't need to have a career if we don't want to. Indeed, many people don't.

For me, when I look at my life and what I want to do with it, having a career makes sense. Just to be clear, when I say "career", I'm referring to a specialization(s) in my life that I enjoy doing and generates income in dollars.

If you don't do your Hug Art, the people who are interested in manifesting a hug will manifest it somewhere other than in your arms, to be sure.

So why bother giving Free Hugs, since you're so very easily replaceable? It's hard work getting out there -- and it certainly seemed like a difficult challenge getting started in putting yourself out there, didn't it? Why would anyone in his right mind do THAT when you could be sitting at home relaxing?

"I think careers are a 20th century invention, and I don't want one" - Christopher Mccandles, Into the Wild.

I've never wanted a career, Why do one thing for your entire life?
Why focus on just one part, even if it consists of many more.

Why bother with a career!
Thats your answer right there.

Go out and make Life happen.

Whether I'm rich or Poor, I don't care as long as I'm happy and Alive.
I'm a jack of all trades, and so are you.
You can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it. You could be a rocket scientist, or a fisherman.

Money wealth is just an illusion and completely useless when you realize money does not mean happiness NOR success.
Some may argue with this of course.

Money to me means: Inprisonment, debt, worry, an unhealthy comfort, corruption, war, boredom.

But even I have to worry about money.. I need to eat, and as of right now. I'm not ready to leave society. I want to work with it in my own way.

Thanks for the responses, it was great to read through them.

One good answer to have a career seems to learn things during this incarnation in life.

Another answer, that I like a lot then is to have fun. That a career is an expression of self, to work on fun things and to have a great time doing it. Like the Free Hugs stuff, I do the free hugs stuff purely for selfish reasons, so I can get hugs and overcome my fears that are involved with that, and because it is so incredibly fun. I don't do it for others, that's a side-effect. When I think of having a career in this term, in terms of expressing and doing really cool and fun stuff and part of doing fun and cool stuff is helping out people, then yeah, it seems to matter, and it sounds like a helluva lot of fun too.

Hmmm, this view of a career also makes it much less outcome-dependent. Whether I succeed in the goal of my career in helping some people or not no longer really matters as much, because I'll be having a lot of fun in the process.

It's true too, I did decide to become a lightworker because I wanted to live a life of love, and expressing love and not a life of running away from things due to fear.
