Make a Career of Living Happily

I got a great Abraham quote in the email two Sundays ago (7/27). I'm playing catch-up on my messages and finally fully, deeply read it just now. Here it is...

"A very good career choice would be to gravitate toward those activities and to embrace those desires that harmonize with your core intentions, which are freedom and growth—and joy. Make a "career" of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy. When feeling happy is of paramount importance to you—and what you do "for a living" makes you happy—you have found the best of all combinations. "

~ Abraham-Hicks, from the upcoming book Money and the Law of Attraction… Learning to Attract Wealth, Health and Happiness, due in stores August 12th.

Now, this quote spoke strongly to me. I can't recall if I've mentioned it here since it happened, but I have been undergoing a massive professional re-evaluation, accompanied by great circumspection around the past few businesses I have attempted, as well as a massive vision of what my work in the world is supposed to be. For the last many years, I have been trying to find business that will produce enough income that I can do things with the money. I realized that last week. But they way Abe is saying it here really strikes home. Ouch!

Funny thing is, back in 2006 I published my first book Soul Search Before You Job Search, which offers the main idea of looking inside for what you want to do, before taking external action. I have to admit that ever since my old Internet start-up was sold in 2001, I haven't had much of a vision about my work in the world. Even my book -- which is a good book -- didn't have a huge vision to it.

But this heart space-emotional-vibrational-law of attraction work -- or whatever the hell I'm going to call it -- goes beyond all of that. So far beyond that it is every bit about who I am in the world as it is what I do in the world. And just the thought of it gives me great joy and excitement.

I LOVE that! And I can't wait to reveal my first step in the direction of this vision! Soon...
