Living Your Passions.

Did you know that 80% of Americans are NOT passionate about what they do? That means that 4 out of 5 people you meet or work with aren't being fulfilled. Where do you fit in?

So many of us are doing what we think we have to do to get by. Some of us are content with what we are doing, however, we'd like to take things to the next level. What would you do if money was not the focus or you knew you could not fail?

Think back to when you were a child. What did you enjoy doing? What would bring a smile to your face?

Think about the things that people are always complimenting you on. You may be organized, customer focused, creative, detailed, a risk-taker. Do you enjoy working individually, on a team, or are you adaptable to each situation? Identifying what your "gifts" are is the first step towards determining a good job/career fit.

Whether it's your life, job or career, when you focus on doing what you enjoy, you can reduce stress, refocus your mind, and gain clarity on what's important. Not having stress in your life can lead to a healthy life. Reducing the amount of stress will positively impact relationships at work, at home, etc.

Maybe you're feeling stagnant at your job because you no longer feel challenged; the job has become too routine. It's possible that with a little tweaking you can begin to enjoy your job again. Or maybe, starting your own business is the route to take.

There are so many options available to you. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain in living your passions. What steps are you willing to take to become part of the 20% that are happy?
