I’ve been meaning to share this post for awhile, so here it goes… 🙂
This lifestyle, the lifestyle of a healer or a teacher or a leader…. well what do you think it really entails?
I see the teachers / healers / leaders that I admire and the ones that I really, really vibe with, well what do you think they do all day long?
This has been a question of mine for awhile. Â A wondering.
Of course there are some people that run around like a chicken with their head cut off. Â Booking gigs, doing lunch dates to network, monitoring facebook, posting on twitter, busy, busy, busy, on and on… but I don’t see my life like that.
I’m not even tempted to do that anymore. Â Instead I see my life like this, you go do a talk and then you chill out. Â This could be for a few days or a week. Â All this free time. Â It’s the LIFE.
This means, since you are getting paid real nice for speaking gigs, that you have plenty of time to pursue other things. Â Like, you know… intimate relationship, health / fitness, and hobbies.
For me, a big thing is always learning. Â I freakin’ love it.
So now I don’t think this is the typical lifestyle of a speaker/healer/teacher/leader…. although who knows. Â Most of these people, the energy I pick up on is pretty frantic, do, do, do – “let me stay on the top” or “keep getting followers” or whatever.
But I don’t really have that in me. Â No desire. Â For me, this lifestyle is great. Â It’s about BEING. Â Hanging out. Â Hopefully more artwork… that always seems to get the backburner these days…. since I’m so involved in gardening, health/wellness concoctions and homemade natural beauty supplies, but go figure… I’m happy. Â Â To me, it’s a hang out lifestyle and I love it.
Sometimes I will “wake up” and say, hey, what should you do today (as in work) but most of the time it’s just a little this or a little that. Â No big deal and definitely not those hours upon hours of effort and hardwork that I’ve done.
Is it working for me?  Yea, I think so.  I guess we’re accustomed to judge our success by money we’re making. I’m making money.  I’m supporting myself.  I trust that the money will come and it has been.  I’ll keep you posted 🙂  (PS:  Of course there are so many other ways to judge success and if this lifestyle is working… you know, like peace and happiness)
Well today I feel a bit bored.  I think that’s also connected to being a bit tired.  So, oh well, keep on keeping on.  I put out a lot of energy in my business yesterday – today I am more in a rest cycle. 🙂
