Are You Leaving Your Job to Live Your Life?
January 6, 2011 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
I adore working with entrepreneurs and execs who get it. Those who have found their calling and are living their purpose. Those who are enlightened who have a blurred line between work and play and who wake up excited that they get to be paid for doing what they love. It thrills me to work with those who are discovering their right livlihood and I get very excited to help show them the way to themselves and the work they can do as a full expression of who they are.
Stay tuned for an upcoming special promotion to help you find your true purpose, your life school, your life lessons and your life’s calling. It’s all in your hands and with the help of a colleague and myself, we can help you find your right path on your journey from success to signifacance. I’ve experienced it myself and it was a true validation that what I’m doing as an Artist and Messenger in the Community Spotlight is the right path.
Some of us had an inkling since we were very young. Some of us knew in our gut something about what we wanted to do in our lives and some of us are still searching or not sure how to listen to our intuition that guides us in the right direction. What I found was the affirmation that what I loved doing, speaking, writing, communicating, teaching and leading and creating community within a group was right on target. Sometimes just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you should be doing it.
What I’ve learned while working with those that are not yet enlightened, or those in the world of the employee mentality is that most of the world’s workers need to leave their job to lead their life. So many millions of workers just endure their job instead of enjoy their work. They live for their 10-minute break, they can’t wait for their 30-minute lunch, they RUN to their cars at the end of their shif to get away from their job. Their eyes are dull, they’re just enduring the hours until they can go. It’s very sad. They can’t start living until they leave their post. It’s deadening, it’s draining and it hurts to see it and experience it. I’ve experienced it myself when I’m not working my right livlihood. When I’m not around higher-energy people or higher-vibrating environments. I can feel the energy, or lack thereof. I can sense it immediately when walking into a workplace of a client. Sometimes I wonder how they stay in business with such dead energy. I’m always up for a challenge to help them turn things around.
What I decided in college while comisserating with one of my fellow recreation majors when we realized our chosen major didn’t pay as well we the engineering majors or business school grads; was that I would rather be happy every day of my life than unhappy for 5 days a week so I could be happy for 2 days per week. I knew right then to make my life’s work fun, enjoyable, in alignment with my purpose in order to be fufilled, prosperous and engaged.
When we’re not in alighment, not engaged, not plugged into the purpose of what we’re doing, it’s draining on all parts of our life. Are you in alignment with your calling? Are you working your life’s work so it feels more like play? Is the line blurred between your work and the rest of your life? I knew there was really no line between the two when I was running outdoor recreation trips across Europe, Aftrica and Asia for a decade. I got paid to play and take others on adventures. They paid and took vacation leave to do what I was being paid overtime to do. When I took vacations, I would do the exact same thing as when I was working – take my friends on trips and wild adventures to foreign lands. That’s when you know you’re on the right path – do you still live while you’re on the job? Are you feeling fully expressed when you work or do you wait to clock out to do that?
If you’re not getting paid to express your full, authentic knowledge, skills, abilities and talents, then why not? If you’re still seeking your calling or wondering about your purpose, then send me an email at Gail@GailHahn.com and we’ll schedule a session and tune you into our upcoming program. If you’re just wondering what’s it all about, Alfie, then send me an email and stay tuned for more details on living your life’s purpose and how you can find out precisely what it is. It’s all in your hands and has been your entire life. My colleague and I can help you crack the code on your life’s purpose. Let us show you how.
If you’re dreading mornings, if you physically feel your energy draining away as you drive closer to work, if you hate your commute, feel a surge of energy when you leave your workplace, become more vibrant as you clock out, then you have the warning signs that you’re not leading the right life. If you’re working witout purpose and just for a paycheck, then you’re not working on purpose. If you’re more excited about your time off than your time in, then you may need to re-check your purpose. We can help you find your right path.
