Success Without Soul Is Just Survival

We define work as a profession, a job, or an occupation we’re trained for, where the goal is to rack up achievements and societal markers of success. It’s viewed as separate from the rest of our lives - a requirement for our survival, security, and livelihood - and it’s used as evidence of the value we contribute…therefore it has something to say about us.

Because of this, we naturally put a lot of weight on the question, “What do you do?”

…Our world uses it as a way to define who we are.

Careers and cash get all the credit when it comes to success, but if that’s all we’re measuring, we’re missing the whole damn point…

Are you f*cking enjoying your life?!

The current success paradigm is based on the idea that we trade our time and energy for money, and the more we earn, the more valuable we are…and the more successful we’re deemed.

…But nowhere in this equation is our soul factored in.

This outdated belief system tarnishes the soul’s agenda of contributing purposefully, expressing creatively, and doing what feels meaningful.

Life isn’t about profit.

That concept came out of an industrial revolution that no longer serves us. Our world has evolved, and we’re no longer there at a soul level. Your soul wants to feel the expansion and growth of living life.

Life is about experience, not about profit.

That’s not to say that wealth isn’t a value for you, but when you’re in tune with your soul’s agenda, the motivation behind why you do anything and offer anything comes from a different place.

You can still profit…but it’s not at the expense of your soul.

You profit because you’re coming from your soul.

When you’re soul-led, everything you do is an extension of you. Everything in life is about your self-expression. Creativity is not just one aspect of your life; it’s your whole damn life.

This means that everything in your life feeds into, adds to, and enhances the entirety of your experience here.

When you pour your essence into everything you do, the right people will want to be part of it…and they’ll happily pay for it because the energetic exchange is worth every damn penny.

The value you share comes from a place of divine creativity, and the exchange is an exchange of genuine resonance, alignment…and a hell yes on both sides. Soulful engagement, mutual excitement…and maybe even a cosmic high-five.

The right people want a front-row seat to your frequency.

The money is simply the love made visible.

The cultural drive for success can blind us to our own creativity, rhythm, and values, but success isn’t about meeting the societal defaults.

True success is living a life you love.

With that definition, you can be successful right here right now.

Success can be a cozy afternoon at a cafe with a treasured friend casually chatting over an extra hot, half-sweet, no foam, soymilk chai latte.

It can be lazy mornings, slow afternoons, and evenings binge-watching your favorite trashy show.

It can be Lulu-wearing, slipper-shuffling, bra-optional workdays where you pour your energy into meaningful work that feeds your soul and lights you up because you’re bringing to life what only you can create.

It can be relaxed travel where your work just becomes part of the life you’re living - exploring a new glorious city in the morning, writing in cute cafes during the afternoon, and experiencing the local entertainment in the evening.

But one thing is for sure…it sure ain’t about hard work and jumping through hoops to prove your worth and eek out a living.

You don’t need to wait to have more money in the bank, and you don’t have to wait for someone to praise and acknowledge your accomplishments. When you’re not attached to any particular outcome, everything is simply part of your success.

There’s a special magic in loving something without feeling the need to capitalize on it.

You’ll know you’re living your version of success when you feel turned on in every aspect of life. It won’t look the same for everyone; it’s your own personal blend of success that has your own energetic signature on it.

You’ll know you’re living your soul success by how it feels. No one outside of you can tell you if you’ve achieved it or not.

True success can’t be seen because inner peace isn’t visible.
