"Double Your Income Doing ONLY What You Love"

I have a friend who runs a seminar series teaching people how to double their income by doing only what they love. It's an amazing concept that has seen people leave behind their careers to see something new blossom into what they'd only dreamed about. Can you imagine being excited to get out of bed and go to work??!!

Seems a little to airy-fairy, doesn't it? But, if you think about it, the idea does have Scriptural backing. Jesus came to make our joy complete. He's given us the desires of our hearts. There's a reason why we love to do what we love to do!

I've been thinking quite a bit about this idea, lately. I have to admit that I am not at all excited to get out of bed to go to work; in fact, I usually struggle to control the thoughts of frustration and anger toward my job. I have a review coming up, where we're supposed to discuss my raise. I have an idea of what it'll take to keep me here, and it seems like it might be a little more than what the company thinks I'm worth.
I'll gladly accept a job that'll pay a bit less if it's something that I would enjoy doing. There's a lot of comfort in knowing that my job is not the source of my means of living. Sure, it gives me money to pay the bills; but, I have probably seen at least a year's income come my way outside of the conventional job, in the last several years.

It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
- Joseph Campbell

I want to live the life I was meant to live - I want all of us to live the life we're meant to live! It is to be a Wonderful Life!

The SE thing is shelfed for a few months, and even that isn't what I REALLY want to do. I'm checking out something new for the summer that fits more with my heart's desire.
