Financial Freedom with a Twist

What can I say?
I'm a mover and shaker. I need happiness without financial limitations.
I need to be out there for others, so in the first place, I need to be there for myself.
Its funny because we dont often think of help in that way.
I used to think it was selfish and cowardly to want to be financially free, independent, when there were so many people UNhappy, poor, etc.
But I learned that when you are happy at work (if you work) doing what you love, you spread SOOOO many rainbows in all directions that people feel it - they flow with it, and you are then helping THEM to realize THEIR dreams...just by WATCHING YOU do your thang.
So if you manage to make money and thrive, and do your conscious best to avoid harm (which my theory is CAN NOT happen - even grass needs to be "harmed" to sustain life), then congratulations to you; you are now a solid citizen capable of teaching others to ground themselves, to be present to the air up there, and be in both places at once.
You are now worthy of a handshake.
Now another thing was also looking around and not finding MY nitch. I mean I am still looking. I've tried some things out, done things, etc., and I dont know if I have a NITCH. I may have a PHASE instead.
Like, today, is phase MOVIES, and I watch some great indie film and gawk.
Tomorrow may be MUSIC day, and I will write a new song.
So on like that.
Same with larger projects.
You take on a project, and you play. You succeed, or you fail, but you try. Its always worth a try.
Its funny we go through phases - sometimes I'm MOVING, sometimes I'm moping. I have tried to find patterns to this all. The important thing is that we shift - each to their own wind or what have you.
So today, thinking about freedom, finances, and what I want overall - I chose to be present and peaceful. That was the possibility of the day. Present and peaceful...

Phases are better than nitches in a lot of ways…nitches seem to get us pidgeon holed….phases help us to broaden ourselves…
Maybe the ultimate nitch is to be able to go seamlessly from phase to phase…to experience essence above all else?

I agree.
I realized I had to give up certainty in a lot of ways, and give space for my mind to just be.
In that way, I am not obsessed with what it is I chose to do, but I go through the choice anyway - cus the other side is always lack of direction.
