Right Livelihood

My husband Casey (aka the Fireman) and I were closing the loop on our 2016 tax planning this weekend and it was clear that a pause and celebration was in order. It's so easy to move quickly from one phase into the next without stopping to appreciate where you’ve been and express gratitude for all that you’ve been through - instead, let's take a moment to celebrate and reflect.

Many of us are feeling a deeper call to find more purpose and meaning in our lives. We feel an invitation to walk more fully into who we truly are and allow this to become what we do and how we are seen in the world.

This is the journey of Right Livelihood. Yet the path, at times, can offer subtle blocks.  We get stuck, we mire in the muck, and even question whether we’ll ever reach the Right Livelihood destination.

I try to always show up 100 percent authentically with what is real, alive, and true for me in my thoughts, words, and actions.  While planning content for the Mystic’s Society, I realized I kept using the word ‘success’ in my writing, particularly personal financial success, and how it fits into the picture of sacred commerce.  I hear so many women who say, “I feel stuck in my job, my life, my business…,” “I want to make more money,” or “I want to be more successful.”

Here is a question I hear time and again in my work with women, and it’s one that I myself have had to wrestle with:

Q: Lindsay, I’m a conscious, value driven entrepreneur.  I believe that the work I do truly helps people, is of service, and is important.  But I’m not making the kind of money that will give me the freedom to grow my work, to take it to an even more powerful, effective level that provides even more benefit to the world.  What does this mean?
