What would the world lack if you didn’t do what you know you must?

I was with a young friend this morning when her lifelong pet was put down. The young vet who attended to her and her father during this sad time was a man who truly did what he did with such compassion and connection, it reinforced how absolutely imperative it is for all of us, as individuals and for the good of the universe, that we are in are right livelihoods. That kind of devotion to one’s vocation, to the people and animals he serves, reminded me that we owe it to others to do what we are meant to do. What would the world lack if you didn’t do what you know you must? Living your passion and sharing your gifts with the world is not selfish. In fact, it’s your obligation to find what you love and do best. Withholding that gift would be selfish.

He Eats, Sleeps, Writes in Italy-Makes a Living and Improves Lives

Can you imagine making a great living sampling home made pasta, tiramisu and gelato, schmoozing with the proprietors and then snuggling up in a cozy bed and breakfast overlooking Lake Como?  And knowing you’re improving lives of thousands?

My friend  Barbara Winter brought this little video to my attention.  Rick Steves talks about his joy at having found his own right livelihood.

Note that he says he enjoys visiting these people who have found their niche.

While he isn’t directly solving world hunger or righting an injustice, consider the ways his business is improving lives.  He’s not only making a living doing what he loves but making a difference in the lives of thousands of entrepreneurs by recommending their establishments. He’s also enriching the lives of all his readers and viewers who might never experience foreign cultures if he didn’t show them how they can do it in style on a budget.

Your own business may not change the world tomorrow but how can you improve the lives of a group of people by sharing what you know and love?

If you know you want to find more meaning in your livelihood doing what you love and making a difference in a few lives, your community or the world, March is the time to step up and get started.

Are you having trouble figuring out how doing what you love can improve lives and earn the income you need?

In honor of what my friend Alice Barry ( “Entertaining the Idea”) calls the Month of More Meaning, I’ve bundled my “Idea Generating”sessions and you can now sign up for a package of 3 Private One-to-One Phone Sessions with me for $270. My single session rate is $185 an hour but because NOW is the TIME to TAKE ACTION, I’m opening up a limited number of session hours to a select few who are ready to MARCH.

This month only, until the slots fill, you can purchase a
3 Session Package for $270 ( less than half the usual hourly rate.)

STOP beating yourself up for not accomplishing what you planned to earlier this year. Forget those New Years resolutions. January and February are hibernation months in nature for a reason. But, March is time to SPRING into action!
