What Do We Do to Get Income?

When we consider the amount of time we spend imagining and pursuing success, is the accounting a fair balance? Putting it another way, do you spend too much of your time working to get income?
Pondering the difference between what we want and what we have can lead us to inspiration. The gift of human ingenuity and creativity is a blessing. That is the truth. There is joy in bringing our ideas to life. Hours of refining our vision, laying out a plan for monetization and developing our product bring great satisfaction. The aroma of success lingers with each accomplishment along the way. We taste it when we get income as a result of our efforts.
When we look up from our work, what do we see? Has our success changed us and, if so, is the change positive?
Take a few minutes to watch this video.
The video embedded in this post originally aired over a decade ago. At the time, it evoked a strong emotional response, even though my interests were vastly different than they are now. It seems appropriate to share it with my readers for, no matter what you are dreaming of, I don’t want you to ever lose the fire in your belly that inspires you to continue to create more.

Hi Marj,
What a fabulous video! This is the first time I’d seen it! I just got back from a two-week vacation – first in Dijon (the Burgundy area) – and then 9 incredible days in Paris… And I’ve come back with a real “fire in my belly” to finish a couple of projects that I was having trouble focusing on before… This little film fed the fire too – because, like you, I’m doing what I’m doing so I can help others to be able to fan the flames of their dreams too – and I can’t wait to see the results!
Thanks for the post, and for all you do to help others protect their own flames and keep them burning brightly!
Warmly,
Cheryl
Hi Marj,
this video is wonderful. As you know I burn for what I am doing. When I am in a flow I enjoy this awesome feeling and the results are incredible.
The best is when that happens while working with people to find and nurture their inner fire. Fire needs oxigen, so the first thing is to decluter from all which hinders your inner flame. It is fantastic to see how people change when they let go something which had hindered them.
Now I will nurture my inner fire. I wish you and others do the same.
