I agree that your job must “feed” you in some way–feed your passion is the ideal I strive for. Otherwise you are living only for the weekend, when you can escape to your true desires and passions—like biking, surfing, dancing or whatever it is that brings a sparkle to your eyes. I believe we are not taught to really dwell into what “feeds” us. If only we were, what a better and happier life we would have.

I am a fan of Marcus Buckingham, I think he’s got it spot on about focusing on our strengths rather than trying to overcome our weaknesses… check out his books on this.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen the Oprah show but will be looking for it!
I’ll look out for your book as well.

Hi, I did other things while “listing” to that show. Missed the part where she encouraged viewers to participate in a home workshop. It wasn’t opera.com/workshop?….

Hi Ayesha,
Thanks for stopping by. I really identified with many of the experiences you shared on the Oprah show. I know from experience how draining it can be to work in a job you hate. I loved seeing the difference in you just between the footage they showed early in the show and when you appeared in the studio. It is obvious that the career changes you have been making are agreeing with you! And thanks for sharing the link to your blog so we can continue to follow your story.
