We have this one life, right?  What are we doing with it? What am I doing with it? A perfectly unperfect lump of clay or dough to create what we will of it.  With so many factors and people to consider and simultaneously nothing and no one to consider.  Our life and what we make of it…a scale of making decisions solely for ourselves, perhaps taking our own morals or integrity into consideration.

This raises a big question how important is what you do for a living? How you spend the majority of your time – How important is this in the grand scheme of your life and happiness, and how much fulfillment do you get by doing something morally gratifying vs something that goes against morales, yours or the greater goods.

If you have a very strict moral code that you follow…where did you get it from?
Was it handed down from family? Through childhood stories or tales? Religion? Your own compass? 

Have you questioned your own moral code?

 Do you live by it when trading in the majority of your time for financial compensation?

Let’s say Career One: Involves Cleaning up Oil spills, doesn’t pay great, you get by, but you feel really good about the tangible good you do in the world.

Career two: You are involved in creating or covering up oil spills. Pay is Great. You may have convinced yourself that spilling oil isn;t really bad for the environment.

Career Three: You have a desk job filling out forms that don’t seem to have a positive or negative impact. It’s a position that is redundant at pest and could probably be better suited as an app or website. But the pay is ok.

 

In recruiting I hear a lot about people’s stories and I’m surprised how frequently people don’t plan out that next career step, don’t know what they want and fall into something because it came their way or someone recommended it.

What if we took a moment to plan out life for the most Joy?  Taking into consideration not to be too bent out of shape if the path there isn’t a smooth one, but still strategizing for the ultimate happiness and a life that isn’t just happening to us….

 

What would make you the most happy?
How important would your work lining up with your integrity and values be to your happiness and feeling of fulfillment?

If AI can lead to building crazy amounts of wealth leaving many jobs less of a necessity…would your community benefit of people had more free time, basic income and the ability to pursue passions in line with their integrity and giving back? Or, would people only be self obsessed if you took major sources of their stresses away, would they stop developing without difficulities to overcome??

Just some food for thought on this rainy Thursday…

Also….after this post I am out a computer that hopefully the repair tech guy can fixed…so too be continued when I can get another post up…fingers crossed. 

Pura Vida,

Cheryl

 

You are ‘the one’.

I just wrote a super long blog post...in it I talked about how I used to believe in other's before myself and I talked about the importance of believing in yourself and investing in yourself. I talked about resilience and about how I no longer believed that everyone...

What do you wish you did?

What have you always wanted to do ? Are you doing it? Do you wish your parents had ‘made you’ keep up lessons, or gotten you into such and such? Are you still parenting yourself?

Days go by…

I can feel it flying like a hand out the window as the cars go by..days go by…Remember to live a little each day…

I’m still here…

Choose peace

Can you feel when someone is sending you positive vibes? What about negative ones? You have every right to prioritize your peace

Do we know what’s best?… Is he just not that into you?

I dive into the breadcrumbing and lover kernels we accept, eye opening advice from the movie ‘He’s just not that into you’

So, I attempted this Divi builder, and got pretty confused, so tail between my legs I thought maybe I was better off without using it, however, I really haven’t master that formating either…sorry readers…In the old formatting everytime I type a new paragraph I end up with new sizing and formatting which likely doesn’t make for an easy read, so I do want to enhance that…

To bake or not to bake, this is my question…

Balancing mom life, healthy living, life in Costa Rica…and deciding if baking is for me

Hello hello

Who or what was your calm that helped heal the chaos?

There are people or things that wound us and there are people and things that gently heal us. What a difference it can make when you can rely on someone or something…
