Have you discovered your PURPOSE in life?

Yes, I think that's the key.... I think when you are doing something which is truly your "calling," then success comes easy to you.

I also believe that this can be more than one thing.... I've been reasonably successful in the world of physics research. So I don't actually denounce that as a particular "calling".... But I've found something else which also isn't difficult for me, yet which will probably be far more lucrative....

I've tended to enjoy doing different things, so I've never liked to put myself into a single "box" and say that's what I am, and nothing else! And I think this kind of diversity is becoming more common (especially as the idea of a life-time career with one company has essentially disappeared from our society)....

Thanks Brenda, that was a wonderful post!

You've helped to make me feel more inspired! :)

Best wishes, :)
