In this Changemaker Challenge episode, Cate and Grace rap about what happens when you use your career and your tribe as your evolutionary growth path. For changemakers, quite often what happens is that our yoga, the path we start on for self care, leads us to lead others. Sometimes it feels irrational, and sometimes it feels like it’s coming from ego, but if we allow ourselves to follow desire, we start to see a shift from wanting to squelch desire to actually wanting to allow our higher desires to guide us forward. Our desire to create more impact, our dharma, annihilates the ego, and we are able to let something bigger than us happen through us. The grittiness of desiring impact, the persistence of helping members or clients or students get results, becomes the dharma, the duty, the yoga. Sometimes we feel like we need to figure it all out on our own, but when we surround ourselves with and allow ourselves to learn from people who are having the impact we want to have, our awareness of how to make it happen naturally expands. And when we realize that our impact is directly related to our income, it forces growth. Impact and income go hand in hand. When we increase one, we increase the other. Setting bigger goals for ourselves year after year means we have to do something we’ve never done before. We have to change our approach.
