The Do What You Love Declaration

Your declaration goes below:

Comment with YES if you agree. You don't have to use your real/full name. If you haven't yet read it, check out my book "The Work You Love Revolution.

"I, ________ (your name here) believe that the world would be a better place if good people did work they really loved. I declare that it is my intrinsic right—and the right of every human—to have meaningful work and a living wage. I have decided to become a steward of that right. I have decided to play my role (however small it may be) in bringing about a world where that right is recognized. I have decided to live my life accordingly, to the best of my abilities.

I acknowledge the power of mutual support and flourishing. I declare myself to be an ally of those who strive for the same goal through lawful and ethical means and hereby pledge to support them on their journey, as I am ready to be supported by them. If appropriate, I will share about this revolutionary movement with others. I choose to put my money where my mouth is. To the best of my abilities, I commit to:

  • paying others a living wage for their work,
  • supporting organizations, businesses, and movements that are aligned with peoples' right to meaningful work and a living wage,
  • not supporting organizations, business, and movements that are adversaries to that very right.

I acknowledge the power of my choices. I choose to reject the beliefs that keep me from creating this change in my life. I am ready to start my ​personal Work You Love Revolution, starting NOW."

    I can’t very well expect anybody else to fill this out if I don’t go first. So: YES!
