What Are You Going to Do With Your Life

July 25th, 2008 by Zoey Jordan

A couple of years ago, I stared making some major life changes. I moved away from my friends and my job, a life that was comfortable, and I started over. Time and time again, well meaning people in my life would ask: “What are you going to do with your life?” Is there any bigger question? I answered honestly, “I don’t really know, it will come to me.” All that I was certain of was that the way I’d been living my life wasn’t working anymore.


One of my goals has always been to do what I love and to love what I do. I imagine most people have a similar goal. At times it can seem like a scary proposition, or maybe even a pipe dream.

What I figured out was that finding and creating your life’s work, even if it is entirely different from what you have done most of your life, will bring more happiness and money than any other single action you can take.

Does Your Core Belief Match Your Desire?

wheat fieldIf you were to do what you truly love, what would it be? It’s probably something that causes you to experience a strong emotion whenever you think about it. It is something you were undoubtedly meant to do, something you know in your heart is the right thing for you. Whatever it is, you likely have a talent and an instinct for it. In performing this work, you’d probably be providing value to others. And finally, you can count on being well paid for what you love to do. You know why? Because money is a natural by-product of doing anything well.

People often approach me and ask how they can do such-and-such, and get paid to do it. They are ready to try something new, but they are unsure where to start. Sometimes people have a core belief that they could never possibly earn enough money to live on if they followed their dreams. This is a perceived obstacle of course. One of my questions is always “Do you think you will ever earn more money working at something you dislike?”

Does Your Work Bring You Happiness?

Let’s talk about the word “work” for a moment. What thoughts come to your mind when you think of work? Is it a pleasant thought? Does it generate feelings of happiness and enthusiasm? Most people laugh at the very suggestion. For them, the groaning starts religiously on Monday morning when the alarm clock goes off. They get out of bed and march back to their jobs, feeling like they are on their way to a firing squad.

If you feel a lack of passion for what you do – consider exploring those things that stir your passion. When your emotions and focus are in a vibrational frequency with your true desires, you cannot help but experience success. You will literally manifest opportunities and monies and be allowed to follow your dreams. If you believe, you will start to see experiences and events as opportunities for change. Be ready to embrace the change with enthusiasm and positive thinking.

    Because I live in a world of duality, where positives and negatives attract and complement each other endlessly, I find that when I travel to the limits of what I know or believe to be real or true, good or right, and I keep doing this, day after day after day, I find that I cannot help but embrace change with two strands of momentum running through my spirit, moving forward. The first obvious, positive strand would have me contemplate and realize a vision of my desired outcome in and through the present moment, while the second less obvious, but never-ever-the-less vital negative strand would have me welcome my fear in the face of not knowing my outcome. When I enter a time and space where certainty drops out of sight, I find it best that I keep these two strands comfortably twined, so that, when at last I can look back on what transpired from the pursuit of my desired outcome, I can bask in the feeling of calm and confidence I get from having faced my fear, so that even if I didn’t or couldn’t realize my desired outcome, I will have learned, and I will have grown in confidence, by way of courage. Make fear your friend here and now, and you benefit; make fear your friend for life, and you will go far. My fear, my friend.
