The psychology of doing something fun with money/Doing what you love to do

Every year when certain events come around, inevitably there has been a reason why it was not possible to go. It has usually come down to money. The Holistic Festival was a prime example, and THIS year I was not going to have the reason for not going be either that I had to work on Sunday, or that I didn’t have the money for the $6 entry fee or any extra money to spend any money there. It was an enjoyable day, and I was able to get this day off of work with vacation hours - a privilege that I have not had before.

Something that came of this is that the psychic readers saw immediately right away that as a caregiver I am not really doing what I could really be enjoying. One asked, “Do you like what you do for a living?” My answer: “It’s got its problems, like any job, but I like it okay.” But she kept pressing about what I liked to do when I was a kid. It turns out that writing is more suited to me, and more than one psychic said this, and they focussed on the importance of me actualizing something that I either had invented or could put a copyright on. How interesting, I thought. I do have a book idea!

The psychology of making the extra effort to get to the holistic festival is not just focussing on making money, but focussing on having fun with the money, appreciating what it can do. My other good experience there was getting a Hawaiian massage for $10.00.

There was an author that I read 12 years ago, Barbara Sher. She wrote, “Do What You Love And The Money Will Follow.” It is true, it is very, very difficult, if not impossible -  to keep me from writing.

What would you do if no one paid you to do it? Confucius, an ancient Chinese wise man, said, “Find something you love to do, get someone to pay you for it, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Be generous and buy me a coffee!
