"What about creating a very obvious positive current of financial abundance? What about getting so good at visualizing that the money flows through you easily? What about expending money? Giving more people work? Giving more people opportunity? The more you spend, the more people benefit, and the more people get in on the game and dovetail with you. Your role is to utilize the Energy. That's why you exist. You are an Energy-flowing being, a focuser, a perceiver. You are a Creator."

This Law of Attraction quote of Abraham by Jerry and Esther Hicks brings up another very important reason behind following your heart when it comes to your career. MONEY.

Everyone wants more money, right? While money may mean different things to different people, it's obvious that money = the key to freedom. If you have money you get to do what you want. But what about doing what you want to get money? Much more enjoyable, right? Then you're no longer on what Timothy Ferriss calls the "delayed life program" that so many of you are on, i.e., life isn't delayed until you have that first million, or even a nest egg, or even, gasp! - when you retire. Think about yourself at the end of your life. What will you regret not doing? Writing that novel? Creating your dream business? Working as a wage-slave? Waiting?

How the Law of Attraction fits into this:

If your heart is invested in what you do then the joy and inspiration you feel everyday flows into every other area of your life. You become a radiant attractor of all good things. This is the way the Universe works - like attracts like. Are you not attracted to people who exude warmth, confidence and joy? Or would you rather work with a coach that's surly, jaded and unfulfilled? I wouldn't.

Your energy comes across in everything you present about yourself and people always (and usually subconsciously) pick up on it. (A really good book that explains this principle in business terms is "Spiritual Marketing" by Joe Vitale). While I would never be as naïve as to say, "Build it and they will come," I will say that the energy you project is paramount to your success, no matter what career you choose, no matter what you want to manifest in your life.

"...There is not anything worse in all of the Universe to do than to come forth into the environment of great contrast where desire is born easily and not allow Energy to flow to your desire. That is a true squandering of life."

Obviously, this is especially applicable to one's career. You could translate this as, "if you are not doing what you love, then you are squandering your life." Please give some thought to this.

PS: It is my mission in life to help people be happy. I do this through intuitive career and personal transformation coaching.

It has been my philosophy since I first thought about careers when I was a kid that you have to do something you love. (Yes, you can even ask my Mom about this! I used to bug her all the time about her work. She's never been happier now that she's retired).

We spend so much time at work, that inspiring work is a critical factor in our overall well-being. Yes, it is "external" and being happy is not dependent on external things, including a fulfilling career and money. But! Let's be honest, it IS a factor for over 90% of the population. And it leaves its mark on our mental, emotional and physical well-being. (You can ask my Mom about this, too...).

PPS: You created your life. If it's not perfect, you can change it!

PPPS: "Acknowledge the fear and do it anyway."

And one last thing, you are never limited to other people's concepts of what you should do, or what is even possible. What does your heart say?
