What do we, or would we, love to do or be? Some of us know
the answer to this question immediately. However, some of us
do not know what they are passionate about. Perhaps, we have
not thought about this question. Considering how to answer
this question can help us learn more about ourselves, our
beliefs and our dreams.
Recently, a younger woman commented, "These days there are
few people who wake up every morning happy because they love
their job, enjoy life, and are happy with themselves." She
feels fortunate that she loves her job where she can use many
of her abilities. In addition, she values and enjoys her
colleagues. She feels blessed that she is able to use her
creative talents and abilities as an avocation. She is
thrilled that she is now begining to earn some money in this
area. Presently she enjoys both of these important parts of
her life.
In our present economy many people are working below their
capacity or are looking for jobs. During this time we can
choose to evaluate our values, strengths and interests. We can
review and perhaps revise our goals and dreams. We can
consider what plans and choices we can make that would enrich
our lives. Some people may decide to change their career or
may decide they want to become more active in areas where they
have a passionate interest.
