Do What You Do Because…It’s What You Do
This is a very important distinction that must be made and it’s very important that everyone understand this distinction.
This is the difference between a quantitative life and a qualitative life. The difference between living for things and living for something. This is the philosophical difference between the market economy and the core economy.
Everyone should do what they do for the love of doing it, the art of doing it. And yes, you should monetize what you do and you should make a living at doing it, but you shouldn’t do it to make a living.
Doing something just to earn money is the foundation, even definition, of the market economy, which is entirely quantitative – this is the old “rat race” that has been the source of so much stress for so long.
But, doing something because you’re passionate about it, you love doing it, it’s your art or it’s your calling, this is the essence of the core economy, this is qualitative.
Fulfillment Or Satisfaction
Personally, I don’t see any way that living a quantitative/market economy driven life can ever be truly fulfilling. Yes, a person may think that they are fulfilled by chasing the dollar but that is not real fulfillment. It is satisfaction.
There is a difference. Fulfillment comes from creating and doing for others and contributing and growing as a person – this is qualitative living. Satisfaction comes from accomplishing something, it’s more ego driven, whereas fulfillment is driven by selflessness.
If everyone did what they did for the love of it, and then they also just happened to make a living doing that, wouldn’t the world be a better place?
If people stopped doing things solely for the purpose of gaining money and started, rather, doing things for the love of what they do, and then monetized that love, wouldn’t we get better quality things, better quality services from those people? Wouldn’t people be happier? Wouldn’t society be better? Wouldn’t everything be better?
It’s A Happier Life
One would have to argue that a qualitative life and a qualitative society is a happier life and a happier society and, frankly, a better world in which to live. Isn’t that something that we should all want for ourselves, our children and our loved ones? Isn’t this something that we should want to pass on to the next generation?
We must, each, get out of this mindset of living quantitatively in a market economy way and transition to living qualitatively in a core economy way of living.
If you can make a living doing what it is that you love doing, why just do something for money?
Life Is Short
Each moment of life is too important to trade it for a dollar. They say, “if you do something that you love, you’ll never work a day in your life”. Isn’t this true?
Every minute that we spend trying to earn money, every minute that we exchange for dollars, is a minute of our lives that has not been truly lived. If you can make the same money qualitatively, then you have not lost that time.
Life is too short to trade time for dollars. Do what you do because it’s what you do, then monetize it. You still make a living but you haven’t traded your life away. Isn’t this a better way of doing it?
So, I challenge everyone to think about this. Think about how you can transition your life from being quantitative to being qualitative. How can you change your mindset from being market economy driven to being core economy driven.
If you can do this, I believe that not only will you be more fulfilled and happier in your life, but society will be better off for it.
