What if all my career goals have been met?

 Yesterday I was treating one of my beloveds and while she was on the table I asked her about how retirement suited her.  Among other things, she said, "I met all my career goals."

That hit me.  Inherently, she is an amazing woman. She has also worked successfully in child advocacy (which she started when she was 41 years old).  In such a challenging field she was able to make legislation and programs that changed the way the state works with at-risk children.  HOWEVER!  I have never heard a person, especially a woman, say something like, "I met all my career goals."

What would that feel like?  My career goals include global change, so how do I meet those?  I always feel the pressure of reaching more people, doing more writing, being more accessible, learn more, read more, helping helping helping.....  And while this drive inspires me to do what I came here to this planet to do, it stresses me and makes it more challenging for me to be who I came to this planet to be.  

As we worked through her body I worked through my mind and asked myself, "what would it be like to reach my career goals?"

And why not?  I love what I do.  I feel successful.  What if I just say, "I am reaching and have reached my career goals."

Why put the pressure on myself?  Why focus more on doing than being?

What would it feel like to just be content with where I am and enjoy this precious moment?

And don't worry, I will keep working, because I love it.  And what would I do without my daily doses of wisdom that come from my beloveds and what I learn from my treatment table....
