Creating Your Bliss

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do".

Steve Jobs

I have started my book, my diaper line, 'Panda Baby', and, my salon due to the fact that I simply like to create. That is one of my whys. I simply love making, creating and investing. This was something I wanted to pursue so I did. I followed my bliss and it always fun creating and seeing if it succeeds or not. To me trying is already a success in its own right.

If you want to dive into something that interests you, a new sales item, etc., the first step which will help you determine what you want to sell:

Take three deep breaths and close you eyes.

Think of a time when you were younger and you were so happy!

Where are you?

What does it smell like?

What type of friends or family are around if any?

What are you doing?

What makes you happy?

What kind of things do you like to do?

Do love what you do now?

Do you feel like you have been doing everything for others you have forgotten what to like again which feels great for you?

Perhaps job shadow and make a few phone calls to see what a potential career is like.

You are here.

The first step is realising it just takes time to reflect and try things again. To job shadow. To test out hobby.

There is no rush in life to find your passions.

Just the move forward mindset.

If you know what you love to do, this is a happy place.

But if you want to create much joy from your business and hopefully have some sort of success, you need to know WHY you want to do it. And ultimately, what is success anyway? For some it doesn't matter. It is just what you love to do. It is so important to do the things we love to do even if they don't make us money and may never will (like my artist self-I don't do much yet as I feel busy with momhood-excuses excues! Well, hair is art, too:). Well, if you do the things you love and make you happy, at least you are happy!

But if you also want to bend reality and be happy AND be say rich or successful whatever success means to you, you need to try more things out and see if you can get a similar feelings from another mode which will also gain you success.

Hair is art for me. I get money, feel successful and it fuels my artist self. Eventually, I will do a lot more painting and art but for now this is a win win.

But the success for me is having a happy healthy Victoria. My daughter. It has always been hard to decide what was best for work but I thought teaching would be best. As a single parent, the income is a bit too low. Also, I am an entrepreneur at heart so deciding to go that route. If I don't follow my dreams then I believe that models her to not do so. My parents work a lot A lot a lot. But I am happy they did now. I love being so creative. I had the best childhood. I hope my girl will see thru all that and that I am balancing it all OK for her. She is the happiest little girl I know and so smart, so I feel like I am getting good feedback so far.

How to find your WHY..

Whatever you want, use the ladder system.

What ever you think you like..boil it down until you are left with the raw underlying truth.

Example:

I want to be rich.

WHY...

Because I want Victoria to have amazing experiences, job security and, time.

WHY

So I can be with Victoria more and be chic together doing it.

WHY

So we attract better opportunities and feel classy and find a nice good husband.

WHY

I am traditional and would like to have a family. And feel like I can contribute and have money too in the bank for Victoria when she is older.

WHY

Well...thats the answer I think for me. I would like a family and security for myself and offspring. And a loving best friend and person for my daughter, too

So what is your why? Do you really want a relationship? Long term? Money? What is success? Creating lots of art?

Literally write down what you want. I am not religious but I love watching Toure Roberts Youtube video on,'Five Ways To Identify Your Soul Mate'.

We must not feel bad for our choices too long. We make mistakes. But I do realize from experience I can't settle for no spiritual connection. So on our first date there really was and that was the reason I went on the second date. And although I won't introduce my daughter unless I know we will move in together one day or something like that, I am not introducing them. I guess thats kind of that real icing on the cake he won't get! HAH! Just thought of that. I like that actually. Well guys tell you anything sometimes. Although I am 99% sure he won't leave once we..get to that level of intimacy, its nice to not give my whole heart and soul unless I know. And we never know for certain so we can't feel bad. But as you see I take every precaution to be careful with who I have those sort of connections with. I joke and tell him he might run for the hills! Haha. Just kiddingly though..well maybe not! Haha.

That was a tad of topic but still a side of knowing a WHY in the relationship direction so I think important, too.

Why do I make and grow and create start ups?

I have a few reason to have a start up. One is money. One is to spread awareness to end animal cruelty with my diaper business. And to spread mindfulness towards our oceans and ocean dolphins to be exact.

If you are like me and you have a few reasons why you desire lots of money, then your why would be something like this, " I just want to be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want with who I want". Or maybe a lot of money is actually just a stellar kick butt Stutzky or Nesbit home. I can say I want a lot of money but its really a modern home with an infinitely pool, vintage glass extra large cool green house which is heated. A separate large heated garage for super large scale painting. Cash flow so I don't need to work. Writing books. Love. Laughter. Lake view. Happy family. A vespa or Indian cafe racer bike. More amazing friends and experiences. Lots of travel (be specific-Machu Pichu, Czech. for some bodywork and visit family;). Sick ass vehicle like a Porcshe 911 and a small Land Rover whatever they are called. Huge kitchen and tall wood fireplace. Be a soccer mom. Amazing loyal relationship. Lots of time with family. List goes on. Tonnes of travel. Way more connection to community. Develop and design homes. Get my Masters in Trades/Design or counselling.

Now, picture it. Feel it. Dream it. Make a vision board.

I listen to prosperity and abundance videos and read a lot about re-programming my neurons.

It has been said that everything is energy and frequency. If we can tap into the frequency of money, we will attract it.

Tap into it.

Perhaps your reasons are to spread awareness.

My other purpose of my company, "Panda Baby" is to create awareness to stop animal cruelty as I love animals so much.

So, for starters, figure out the WHY. Dwindle it down until you can't ask why no more.

Here is another example of how to figure out your why:

I want to have lots of money so I can be rich.

Why?

So I can have so many experiences.

Why?

So I can meet all kinds of people and learn so many different perspectives.

Why?

I can't ask anymore.

So maybe, what wanted is getting out there and meeting all kinds of new people. Go to those types of events.

Another example:

Why do you want to have lots of money?

So I can do whatever I want, whenever I want and buy gifts.

Why?

I have expensive taste. I like material.

The end. HA! Don't feel bad about it! People will tell you how superficial you are to want gifts and material. As people have told me. Too bad. I have high self worth and don't feel bad about it. Its not a bad thing to like material things.

Ok, I will keep going..

Because I want to travel the world, and be financially bullet proof for myself and my daughter.

I want to treat her and pay for her university. For to have a kick butt bedroom and start up her own little business'.

You may catch the excercise now I hope.

Ask WHY. Ask why to that answer and keep going until you can't.

Have a blessed, electrifying and phenomenal day full of peace and joy.
