Hmmm . . . well? For those who swallow hook, line and sinker the notion that a paycheck equals a sense of fulfillment — solids steps offered here.

For those who recognize there’s not enough collective money, gold, gems, stocks, bonds, real-estate (et. al.) that’s of equal value to . . .

These creative ways consume time better spent on awakening to one’s calling. Awakening to one’s calling is far more work (thus are more rewarding in the long-run) than crow-barring ones body out of bed to forcefully push yourself through yet another day doing something that feels the equivalent of eating soup with a fork . . .

Stop telling yourself your sense of worth is tied to numbers (of any kind). Start telling yourself your fullest potential is already within you. Similar to lost car keys, just gotta find em!
