If we are on our path fully and precisely but don't reap the benefits of wealth monetarily or otherwise can we still feel fulfilled? Yes of course. But we have to be willing to do our Dharma (path, intention in life) without judgement about how it 'lands' in the world but that we are following it and being true to ourselves.That's tough and not common. We can also think we have hit the mark of our path/Dharma but in actuality not quite be there yet.. and feel the truth of the matter...which is that we do feel off-center, off the mark and not quite fulfilled by what we are doing.
Sitting, meditating, yoga, qi-gong or some tool/exercise that allow you to be still and listen deeply to the inner workings of ego mind vs gut feeling (intuition, insight). And as we listen more deeply, there is clarity and ultimately decisions can be made about what to do or not next.. walking our true path.
The movie, "Searching for Sugar Man" showed me a man that has been doing just that. I don't want to be a spoiler and lay out the movie in detail. Is he still alive or dead.. does his music still live and where? SPOILER ALERT: Do not watch the Trailer if you don't want to know the twist of the movie!! Otherwise enjoy.
Review: "Searching for Sugar Man"
