Thrown Around

If you get the recognition and money you require from what you want to allocate your time and energy to, that is brilliant. 

The danger, and beauty, is that “this too will pass” applies to both good and bad. The world changes. Creative, and destructive, forces constantly renew and refresh the rules. Becoming attached to a fragile external source of recognition and money puts you a false step away from an imploding world. 

Yoga talks of starting the practice, and process, to still the waves. The seven Bhumikas are a map for a personal practice. Financial Yoga would be the same. 

The first step is a desire for knowledge. Then asking the right questions. Doing your due diligence on how the world works and how to still the waves. 

The third step is knowing what to do and doing it. Building a buffer that reduces the impact of the waves. Allowing you to start processing your choices consciously. 

The fourth step is where a sense of control sinks in. The waves haven’t disappeared, but you are in a position where you are no longer being thrown around.
