Hi Curt - Absolutely agree - getting in touch with who you are, your passions and strengths are all the keys to success. I just wrote all about it in my recently published book "Finding Your Passion: The Easy Guide to Your Dream Career" (www.myeasycareerguide.com). Thanks for sharing this key to success.

Jens, that's an interesting point. I'm no expert in the educational system, but it seems that there is a lot about it that is a holdover from the industrial age - mnufacturing people-widgets to drop into employment slots. Today's reality has a lot more potential for the individual to really show up and, in the ever-shifting sands of the current work world, creativity, flexibility and drive are ever more important.
Marcome, you're most welcome. I love watching the positive ripples spread. :-)

hiya
I enjoyed reading this article describing a very important (huge) part of many lives.
I think much of our current system of education and training refers people into the 'mould yourself to another's shape' with regards aspiration, creativity and career.
I also believe there are more opportunities now for people to satisfy their desires and create a working life they can feel passionate about.
I'm looking forward to the education systems reflecting more variety and potential for student creativity and career planning.
I agree, finding that passion and caring for yourself is one of the best investments you can make. I still enjoy brief periods of malcontent but with passion and a smile!
Thanks
Jens

I'm happy to cross your path. So many speakers and coach give your recipe to create an abundant life..Most of the time the work is not totally in line with the individual's real talents. I wish this kind of approach will spread more on Twitter!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring us to pursue our goals!
