One can&#8217;t happen without the other. Focus on discovering your true self before anything else.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">The Path to Finding Your Passion and True Self<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many of you know I embrace Buddhist wisdom as part of spiritual knowledge and growth. These kinds of things are choices we make for ourselves hopefully because we find this knowledge relevant and helpful to our lives. Many spiritual philosophies share similar teachings that could be just as true for people from completely different cultures.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the beauty of the Oneness that most of them point toward, whatever different words one wants to use to describe it. We\u2019re all together, all energy; all one thing. We just think we\u2019re separate.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re going to strive for spiritual growth, we have to be willing to put concepts into practice in our everyday lives, in all relationships with all people. You can\u2019t separate your \u201cspiritual life\u201d from your \u201cwork life.\u201d They\u2019re both your life!<\/p>\n<p>In the same vein, you can\u2019t separate money and happiness. You can try, but you won\u2019t live a very happy life.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding Yourself Comes Before Finding Your Passion in Work<\/h3>\n<p>How you\u2019re going to make your money has to reflect your spiritual truth as if you were attending a spiritual ceremony. The physical, material world is simply a printout of what\u2019s going on inside us. To think any different is to fall into the illusion of separation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So before you find the right job, business, or relationship, <em><strong>you have to find the right you! It\u2019s about matching what you do with who you are.<\/strong><\/em> Then you get the right knowledge and the right way for you to become more prosperous and happier.<\/p>\n<p>I realize there are some people who disagree with spiritual concepts, or maybe are just uncomfortable with the topic. That\u2019s okay. We don\u2019t have to go deep or New Agey with this. <strong>Finding the Right You is as simple as this: JOY. What are those things you do that give you absolute joy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Joy is a clue from the heart, not to be confused with pleasure. When you evoke the feeling of joy, you are tapping into your higher nature, your truest self, and the source of your full power, your full creativity, your full wisdom. Then you\u2019re generating passion and finding your passion.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4984 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2017\/09\/Cress-WP-images-copy-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/09\/Cress-WP-images-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/09\/Cress-WP-images-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/09\/Cress-WP-images-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2017\/09\/Cress-WP-images-copy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>When You&#8217;re Passionate, It Shows<\/h3>\n<p>Passion creates energy, and energy creates enthusiasm. It\u2019s very contagious. When you are passionate about what you do, it comes through! Will people want what you\u2019ve got? Yes and yes! Mostly because of the energy transfer, that\u2019s it!<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing about your business, whatever vehicle is appropriate for you, is you have to frickin\u2019 believe in it to where you would shout it from the top of the roof to everybody, every minute of every day! If you can\u2019t do that, you don\u2019t believe in what you do enough\u2014and ultimately, you don\u2019t believe in yourself. You\u2019re not being your \u201cRight You\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When you find something that you really believe in and get it into your subconscious, the obstacles that block you seem more like minor interruptions compared to the passion of operating from your true Self.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Unless you are passionate about what you do, it is very difficult for you to be successful or happy. Right livelihood comes down to finding your passion in work that matches who you are in life.<\/p>\n<p>Tell us your experiences with finding your \u201cRight You.\u201d Have you truly found your \u201cRight You\u201d yet in your life? What was the turning point that made you realize you weren\u2019t being the real you? What was the transformation like?
