Do What You Love...

2/11/2016

 
I've been thinking about this saying quite a bit as of late.  It comes up in conversations that we have with friends.  We hear things like, "That's so great that you get to do something that you love."   This isn't new to me, having been a golf professional as a previous profession.  For some reason, people just thought I played golf all day.  That was definitely not the the case!  The same goes for our current jobs as fitness and nutrition coaches.  Yeah, we love our job... but it is still work!    

That brings me to this saying that floats all over social media or at least the people that I follow.   It sounds great but the reality is, it's pretty much a lie!

I don't say that to be a Debbie Downer so let me explain.  First off, I'm kind of a literal guy so right off the bat the statement disqualifies itself from being remotely true, unless you "literally" don't work.  Secondly, I don't care how much you love your job, it's not always going to be rainbows, unicorns and butterflies.  There are going to be times that suck the life out of you.  I know I'm not supposed to say that, but it's the truth.  

Now that I've deflated your sense of hope you had in thinking that there's a dream career path out there for you let me add the "but", because there is always a but.

Hopefully you agree that you will have to work, we all need to work.  It's hard to exist in this world without financial resources.  It's even harder to have an impact and serve others without resources; time, money, or talents to name a few.  So there is this balance where we need to work to afford ourselves those things while still maintaining our sanity and our relationships.  

For us figuring out this balance started when we did an online seminar called Smart Success that was hosted by Chalene Johnson.  It was all about working smarter so that you can enjoy some other things in your life.  One of the big things she talked about was establishing a list of goals in different areas of your life.  She also has you establish a key priority statement which governs all of your decisions.  For us that revolved around spending time with our family.  We looked at every decision through the lens of, "Does this honor our key priority?"  

Man, your world changes when you start thinking like that.  Everything from what groceries you buy, to vacations you take, to the work you do are analyzed through that lens.  You start cutting out a lot of waste and focusing on things that really help you grow in a direction that you want.  You don't let every invitation or opportunity to pull you off your course and onto someone else's.

This is where both Laura and saw the potential in our Beachbody business.  Through smart concentrated efforts sustained over a period of time we would be able to have more freedom.  We could spend more time together as a family.  We could travel more.  We wouldn't have to conform to other people's schedules.  Along with that we've cut out a lot of the fluff in our life and kept those things that honor our key priority.  This frees up resources so that we don't have to make a lot of money and we can live simply.  

We are right in a transition point in our life right now where we are leaving the corporate world behind and about to set out on our cross country RV travels.  Laura just put in her resignation letter yesterday and we now get to work on OUR business and explore what we are passionate about.  Yeah we will still be working from the road.  


We love that we found something that we enjoy showing up to do daily.   We love that we can do this from wherever.  We love that it provides us the resources to live the kind of life we want.  We love that that we can still give financially to people and organizations that we want to support.  We love that we get to help people get healthy.  We love that we get to help others build a business of their own.   It's because we love all of that, that we work!
