Meditation for women who do too much.
Enthusiasm.
One needs something to believe in.
Something for which one can have wholehearted enthusiasm.
One needs to feel that one's life has meaning.
That one is needed in this world.
From Hannah Senesh.
Several years ago,
I made a drastic decision for myself.
I decided that I would do only work that I was enthusiastic about.
I was a psychotherapist,
Speaker,
And a workshop leader then.
This decision was very frightening for me,
Since I was a single parent and had many financial responsibilities.
I decided not to accept any clients about whom I wasn't enthusiastic.
I would not do any speeches or workshops just because of the money,
Or prestige,
Or ego.
I would do only what seemed right for me to do.
I would do only things that intuitively seemed related to the meaning and purpose of my life.
I feared I would end up a derelict,
A bag lady,
And starve,
Yet I've had more money since that decision than I ever had before.
I still live my life based on that decision.
I'm not saying this will work for everybody.
And it worked for me.
