Regret or Passion? Which Will Be Yours?

I once attended a retreat on how to live with passion and fulfill one’s life’s work. The facilitator posedrepparttar question, “If money was not an issue, yet you had to work full-time, what would you do?” Answering this question was a turning point for me. Now - years later - I am doing much of what came up in my answer.

How would you answer this question? Ask yourself, “What am I good at? What do my friends say I am good at? What do I enjoy and feel passionate about? What do I think is important?” The key to your happiness may well be held inrepparttar 142331 answers.

Today it is raining and cloudy but who cares I am in my nice warm home and I can look out at allrepparttar 142331 trees putting on their new green suits for Spring in my back yard. Now I stretch that isrepparttar 142332 next thing in my morning routine and I say out loud. "I am filled with abundant energy." This is my way of saying that I am a winner today. These statements are called affirmations, postive self talk to get myself going inrepparttar 142333 right direction inrepparttar 142334 morning. They are reinforced in my subconscious mind.
