Hustle

How can you tell when you're working hard enough? Or maybe smart enough?

How do you balance all the other stuff that you want to spend energy on, the stuff that doesn't earn a paycheck but keeps the household running, or keeps your body humming, or makes your heart happy?

I'm not a lazy person. I have trouble sitting still. Depression rolls in if I don't feel productive. And yet. Part of this Bloom Quest is to grow in my career journey. And I don't feel like I've been hitting on many cylinders with that. I feel like I'm leaving stuff on the table. Like I'm not hunting it down.

Is that because I don't love what I'm doing enough? Because when I love doing something it's hard to keep me from it. And I'm very task oriented. I own it. Tackle it. Move on to the next.

So why do I feel like I procrastinate on getting marketing done for my consultancy? On creating business leads?

I want to be found. I want to do my own quiet thing, and then have people knocking on my door, standing in line to work with me. Like my idea to author a killer book, and then get asked to be a speaker and maybe get a movie deal. YAAAAASSSS - this is the path that gets me torched up.

The business world, the world of make this and sell that, is a big, looming, spiky metal sky scraper with revolving doors that spin frantically with all of the people coming in and out, and there's no sense of rhythm for me to step into that fray and sweep into the rush of round-about progress. I don't fit that rhythm.

Or maybe I don't want to fit that rhythm...
