Practicality

What did I want to do?  It was a question I was asked by a young professional a year ago.  Trying to find out what career was best suited for him,  I answered "I wanted to make money." I have pondered that answer more often than not in this last year.  Guess what, I have made money, but don't have many coins to count. It comes and goes.  I think about the statement, "make money" and I believe the declaration came from a place of lack.  And so I think one of the foundations of my work-a-day life has been built on lack.
From Rachel Pollacks, Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, "...practical work, done consciously and with commitment, may serve as the vehicle of self-development."
Since I have to come to terms with the fact that I will most likely work until I decide to leave the planet; I best think of work of something more than "make money."
