Making a Living or Making a Life?

It’s not really surprising that a lot of your activities, and a lot of your energy, are locked up in ‘making money.’ Ostensibly, to eventually make the life you ‘really’ want.

This uber-focus on making a living delays living your ‘life’. The things that actually generate energy for you, the things you love to do – dance, paint, write, connect – get pushed to the sidelines. Making money is the priority and everything else – family gatherings, personal passions, and social events – takes a back seat.

What often happens is that you find your life compartmentalized and fractured. You lose energy, you get tired, your activity levels drop, you lose creativity and eventually you may even start experiencing ‘lifestyle’ health issues like heart disease and diabetes.

What happens next is straight out of a movie, the movie of your life: there is some kind of breakdown. It’s either a breakdown of your work, your family or your health. Though this may initially seem to be bad news it really isn’t. It’s the only way potential can make its way into the laser focused pursuit of energy that has gone awry.

As you allow the artificial boundaries between you and the rest of your life to crumble – whether it’s your job, your relationship or your money - you come to understand that there is no separation between you and the rest of your life. You ARE the at cause energy in everything in your life! And in every moment you are the co-creator of your life. This is not a future oriented event. It is occurring in this very moment. So the time to grasp it is at hand.

Here are a few of shifts to reorient your energy to what’s true:

1. Loosen your rein on money as the primary focus of your energy. The more you focus on money as a need, the harder it is to draw it to you. It is actually the result of your energy, not the purpose of it.

2. Every day paint the canvas of your world with the fullness of your being. Feel your abundance, the many ways in which you are gifted. Shower your talents and abilities to the world on a daily basis, profusely. Give! Give! Give! . . . Because you have so much it’s overflowing.

3. Every day energetically magnetize your life into being. They might have called it daydreaming in another time and place. I would add the energetic intention and super-connective qualities to this musing and power up your potential like a rocket. Find a space and time when you are relaxed and start with feeling the connection to your self and to all that is. Open and allow your broadband sensing to expand capacity. Feel yourself as abundance itself flowing out like a golden luminescent mist. This mist is the tangible gift of your essence, imbued with your message and service. See how the mist touches the faces of all those who are ready to benefit from your being. Feel the mutual exchange of honor and gratitude. Ripple this knowing into creation and know that you will magnetize the ideas, connections and synchronicities in exquisite timing.

Energy is real. Intention is real. Your super-connective nature is real. By design, you are engineered for possibility and co-creation. Be the Being and create not only abundance for yourself but a life that’s a living legacy.
