What is your Real Work

I have been reading a book about growth mindset vs a fixed mindset.  And though Hub says I have a growth mindset, to me I just don't quite feel that I am giving my all.  Or that I am really trying very hard.  Its not that I am not trying or, that I am slacking.  I dunno. 

I am trying to work out where it is that I really need to dig in and WORK.

At work, People Who Do work, that is.  We have been considering the question, 'What is your REAL work'.  I can get very deep about this, and be all yogic and spiritual, and say my real work is Yoga.  Union of mind body and spirit.  Or working towards Samadhi to use the proper Sanskrit.  That is my work as a human being.

Then there is the work that I am 'called' to do.  And this is also pretty vague to be honest.  I mean, its not, its core and I really connect with it, but at the same time, its pretty general.  And can apply to anything.  LIke being an artist.  or Connecting people.  Making Magic.  Creativing 'pure magical energy and connection between human souls' Or on a personal level, being 'engaged, curious, vibrant and brave'.  This work includes my mini meta project of 'getting people to eat together who have not yet eaten together'.  I mean, getting people to eat together and meet while eating, and ideally preparing food together.  And making art or music together.

And then there is the Work of my household.  Which is practical.  Like cleaning and decluttering.  Parenting.  Parenting - now that is full on, all encompassing, fascinating and utterly important work.  Am I giving my ALL to that?

And then there is WORK like my work with People Who Do.  Which is helping people do what they love.  Helping THEM do THEIR real work. 

And there is WORK that earns money.  And my real work, in that respect is to learn how to earn as much money in as little time as possible, how to earn money in a way that is true to my values, and how to increase my economic value in the world.  OR  - increase my value to the world.  Perhaps that, To increase my Value to the world.  THAT is my REAL WORK.

how can I be of more value to the world. 

I feel that is the right answer to the question, 'what is your real work'.  And dammit.  Its a question. My work is to answer that question.  Its not entirely an answer really.  I am hoping that by keeping writing about it, I will come up with some answers. 

Hmm.  I could start with making each area of my life, more specific. 
How can I be of more value to yoga?
How can I be of more value to my household?
How can I be of more value as a parent? to my son?
How can I be of more value to People Who Do?
How can I be of more value as a connector?
How can I be of more value as an artist?
How can I be of more value to Magical energy and connecting human souls?

That is starting to make more sense.  On a doable practical level.   I like it though.  Its engaging.  I feel connected to it.
