Day 5 Doing what I love and loving the money I make…
I’m surrounded by all the projects and the things that I love to do. Three copies of my book The Goodness Experience are on my desk waiting to be mailed out. Loved writing that book, love talking about the book, love sharing the book. I can’t say that I love the monetary return on investment I’ve made with the book. Yes, I want it to be more. I have a clunk when I think about the five years of solid work I’ve put into it, along with my editor Jann Robbins, who put her valued expertise and time, and it’s still just one book sold here, 10 books there, 20 books another time. How does that much work, time, dedication and love over five years not sky rocket in sales? The effort was driven 100% by love. I have been consistent in always listening and moving forward one step at a time. I haven’t given up but what can I do differently to change the results that I’m getting?
Good question. Let’s see what I’m doing right first. I’ve often wondered if scientists would approach their research looking for what is going right with their studies they might get to a better result sooner. Looking at the disease and focusing only on the problem magnifies the problem. Looking at healthy cells and knowing what makes them healthy, keeping all those happy cells healthier would deter the nasty cells from taking over. So I’ll practice what I know to be true and look at what I’m doing right.
1. I am continuing to move forward
2. I do love the money I receive for the book.
3. I love sharing the book and the changes it makes in a person’s life.
4. I love promoting the book because it is valuable to our world.
5. I love living the principles of the book in my daily life.
6. I love the changes that it has made in my life
7. I loved working with Jann Robbins to create this work
8. I love the way the book looks.
9. I love that you can go anywhere in the book and receive inspiration, and a lesson
on what to do better, with love and compassion.
10. I love the way the book is alive and filled with truth.
11. I love the way that it’s given me the confidence to speak my truth, with love.
12. I love that it’s led me to doing three radio shows that inspire and teach more
people how to love themselves more fully and share this with others.
13. I love the people that I have met thru this book.
14. I love the strength I’ve acquired by working with this book.
15. I love that the commitment to writing and promoting this book has taught me
how to move thru the last five years of drastic financial changes with more
courage than I thought I had, and kept me from becoming bitter, allowed me
to let go of the anger and disappointment and showed me that love is always
the answer to all of our struggles, difficulties, disappointments, and betrayals.
16. I love the way the book has shown me that my needs are always met, even
though it looks different than what I expected.
17. I love the way it taught me how to “let go” and allow the best to unfold.
18. I love that it has connected me to beauty more deeply.
19. I love how my gratitude and appreciation for my Divine Connection has grown.
20. I love that I can see when my Nag is trying to run the show and I now have the
awareness and courage to tell her I love her and she doesn’t need to scream, or
be afraid for me. I just tell her that “I and my Divine Self will take care and
provide for all of us.” The Nag has grown quieter with this love.
21. I love the way the book has led to me to creating even a more beautiful and
peacefully rich home.
22. I love that it’s given me the courage to learn how build my own web-site.
23. I love that I am learning how to build a business, a way of life through my
power of Goodness.
24. I love the flow of creativity I am experiencing and the friendships I’ve
developed.
25. I love that my children have this knowledge as part of their lives.
26. I love that I am guided every day to listen to my Divine Self and live more
freely, love more deeply and laugh more fully…..
So, that’s only scratching the surface of what happens when I choose to do what I love. The Nag wants me to think that there isn’t enough money that comes from doing what I love, yet when I look around me I am completely surrounded by wealth, health, beauty, peace, comfort, and love. The money is there every day to provide for these experiences. Am I like the cancer researcher that is only looking at the unhealthy cells hoping to find a cure?
Truth? I ask for the courage to change what I’m looking at and more fully love
the money I make with this book and every work project that I embrace. I ask for the discipline to see the completeness that love brings to all facet of my work and my life. I promise myself that I will make the changes in my thoughts, words and actions today so that I can see and experience only that which is loving and good for me. Let you know what happens tomorrow.
