Separating What We Do from How We Generate Income

[The recent lapse in posts is owed to my having been a bit sick. Happy to be back in the game!]

Up until now, most of us have come to connect what we do with how we generate income. I know that I was raised in middle class America to believe that I needed to get a job in order to get money and that the type of job I got would pretty much dictate the amount of money I would "earn." Pretty much for my whole life. Some people, sure, "come from money" and so their need for work is, perhaps, less than mine. Or different. But most of us have a general sense that what we do is most definitely connected to what we earn and that's pretty much that.

Thankfully, more and more of us are realizing that this simply isn't true. In fact, for anyone who knows that the law of attraction is always on, it's easy to see why. For in a world based on attraction where we can be, do, or have whatever we desire, jobs have nothing to do with any of it. They are just the vehicle through which dollars have found their ways to us, not because jobs are magic, but because we have believed that that is the way dollars will find their ways to us.

Today, when the urgings of our hearts are getting louder and louder and when we are faced with letting go of all our old, non-serving ways of being, we can go into a state of panic (in varying degrees) about not being able to follow our hearts because of fears we have that we cannot, will not earn any money or enough money by doing what we love. This is where it is helpful to separate what it is we do from how we attract dollars to ourselves.

We are talking about separate intentions for each. On the one hand, we will have an intention (or set of intentions) for our work that would go something like this:

• I am in the perfect job for me. I am fully engaged with a host of people with whom I interact on a daily basis. I am part of a team and I know my contributions are of value. I feel connected and purposeful all the time.

And then we will have a separate intention (or set of intentions) for our financial lives that would go something like this:

• I am financially free. When my bills come, I pay them. When I want something, I buy it. When I want to support a project or cause, I do it. When I want to go somewhere , I go. I always have more than what I need and I spend what I have wisely.
  

When we take this stance, we free up The Universe to respond with its unceasing yes in infinite ways - precisely what it wants to do - rather than ridiculously limiting it to providing dollars only through a job. And as we step up to this new way of thinking about things, we help to evolve human consciousness, no small project.

Now it very well may be that your income will come primarily or all the way from what you do. Fantastic. And it very well may be that it doesn't.
