Do what you were born to do, the love will follow
 

Hi,

What I mean is, you can't really tote up all the things you love to do, and then try to create a business around them. Why? Because right now you don't know all the things you love to do.

What people should do is they should do what comes most easily to them. They should keep a little notebook with them, and monitor their activities, and every time they notice that they've done something voluntarily that was as easy as falling off a log they should write it down in the notebook.

Then they should notice what they do most often that's voluntary and effortless. They might have to generalize: for example, the most often done activity might be something general like "pleasing people" instead of something specific like "cooking."

Then, once they know that they were born to "please people" they can create a list of activites that please people and that generates income. They'll find something on that list that they love doing. After they do it, the money will follow.

Say you're Steven Spielberg, and you're trying to figure out what to do as a career. You make a list of possibilities. Would film-making be on the list? Maybe you wouldn't think of it. If you were Steven, and you tried to list the things you loved to do, would you list film-making? What if you didn't know you loved to do it? You haven't done it yet, so how would you know? However, if you were Steven and you knew you loved to "please people," maybe you'd write a list of things that pleased people, and a light-bulb would go off after you wrote down "movies."

See what I mean?

If anyone disagrees with my idea, they're wrong. :-) (Sorry if I sould like certain "my way or the highway" people.)

Best,
