Julia Cameron: Playing at Work
on Thursday, June 16, 2011Julia Cameron Money Quotation saying doing what we enjoy and want to do makes it enjoyable to work and fun to earn our livelihood every day. Julia Cameron said:
“When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us” — Julia Cameron
Julia Cameron seems to be saying that when a person engages in work or activities that truly match their talents, passions and purpose, then money will naturally flow to them as a result. When following one’s true calling, opportunities will arise (“doors open”) and the work will feel intrinsically fulfilling (“we feel useful”) and even enjoyable (“the work we do feels like play”).
So the quote suggests that financial abundance and professional success are byproducts of doing work that is genuinely meaningful and aligned with one’s core self, rather than goals that are directly pursued.
