#selfcompassion ? #dowhatyoulove ❤️ . . . #Repost @waylonlewis with @get_repost ・・・ The other day I was walking with my friend Rachael and she said something about searching for a career path where her work and her life were seamless. ? I loved that. Instead of periods of intense work focus, followed by eventual burnout, and then taking a break…she wanted to find work that was an expression of her life’s path, and a daily life that could include work healthfully. ? This isn’t hipster instagram BS. Finding a path to do what we love, what we are good at, what serves others, and what pays the bills is the Buddhist notion of right livelihood. ? But right livelihood doesn’t mean you gotta serve up kombucha or CBD to a bunch of privileged trustafarians. It can mean farming, or craft, teaching, being a librarian—whatever fulfills those four keys above. Right livelihood isn’t a luxury: it’s practical. It’s gotta pay the bills, or it isn’t livelihood. It’s for all of us. ? If we can figure how to work in a way that supports our life without exploiting others, or our planet—then we might just hand off a kinder society, and a healing planet to the next generation. That’s not luxury—that’s necessity. ? So regard this search as your mandate. Find it. If you’ve found it, celebrate the preciousness of this discovery, and help others find theirs. ~ ?
