Income versus value

Posted on by philipdodson

Income is what you get in return for creating value for others.

Value only comes to us when we create it for ourselves.

That’s the difference between working in a job and choosing ourselves.

Short-term doing a job and getting an income seems much safer and appealing until you realise you can get fired from your job and all the value you create goes to others.

Choosing ourselves is initially hard, it means taking a leap of faith, however, as you build value and realise it is yours it becomes a lot easier.

Also, who fires themselves?

Hard as this is, to really fulfil our purpose, we have to choose ourselves and build something others will value and miss if you didn’t do it. That will not come from an income.

Take a leap

Chances come and go.

Opportunity is everywhere, so what if we miss one, or two or ten, they are literally everywhere every single day.

There are 7.6 billion people on this planet each one has ideas, wisdom, knowledge, opportunities.

We can seek out opportunities or not, it is a choice.

Finding opportunities isn’t the hard part, well unless you don’t look for them, but like ideas they are cheap.

Taking the leap of faith into the uncertainty, into the unknown, out of our comfort zones, that is hard, that takes bravery, it’s vulnerable, scary and goes against our conditioning.

However, at the end of our journies, there will be no rejoicing of all the opportunities we had in our lives, there will, however, be a great joy, deep joy, for all the leaps into the unknown we took and the great adventures they led too.

Take a leap now, into something unknown and be brave enough to face the fear and the magic will come.
