What it really takes to do what you love

Some of my clients don't want to do what they love and it's not a problem. They're still learning the same skills and taking the same curriculum as everyone else. Here's why.

Doing what you love isn't inherently valuable, important, or good.

I help people do what they love because I’ve found that this specific spiritual, personal, and psychological growth curriculum is outstanding.

To do what you love, you've got to get quiet enough to notice what you love to do. In the process, you'll probably feel feelings you don't want to feel. You'll feel free once you feel them, which is the whole point of figuring out what you love to do. It helps you become present and feel feelings. (Learning how to feel your feelings, in my opinion, is worth the entire investment in coaching. You will not only figure out what you love to do– but you will stop taking out anger and fear on the people you love the most.)

Every stage of this process makes you a more compassionate, courageous, and honest version of yourself. And that is why doing what you love is valuable. You get to find out who you would be if you were free.

And so you learn to feel feelings.

And then you have to make The Decision: what do you want to do with your life? What kind of book are you going to write? What kind of a coach do you want to become? What kind of business, art, or creative act do you want to create?

And just in making this one decision, you'll confront your own fears of failure, public embarrassment, and not being good enough. Before you ever share your work with a single soul, you'll have learned how to work through fear, insecurity, self-doubt, and shame. You will have learned about the nature of the mind, the nature of thought, and how to become an active participant in both.

Really consider the value and impact of knowing that.

Consider what it would be like to not be so worried about what other people think of you. To no longer try to read other people's facial expressions and energy to figure out if they like you, if they like your work, or if you're doing a good job.

Think about what would then become available to you. How much extra energy you would have. And what you would get to experience in your lifetime as a result.

Every stage of this process will make you a more compassionate, courageous, and honest version of yourself. And that is the only reason doing what you love is valuable.

And so, do what you love or don't do what you love…it's irrelevant. Just take the curriculum.

I love you. I’ll talk to you next week.
