Jeremy McKay — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:16:17 +0000

We’ve all been there…

If you’re in a slump right now, you know what I mean.

You might have goals and dreams, but right now, they
seem like a distant fantasy–unimportant and detached
from reality.

So what do you do? If you’re like most people, you take
a break from all of your projects and aspirations. And
you spend some time feeling depressed and indifferent
to progress.

In the article, he covers seven things you can do to move toward getting paid to do what you love, I have place a brief summary, bu I encourage each of you to check out the article at Zen Habits and also Check out Jonathan at http://www.illuminatedmind.net/

Find your passion. “What am I insanely interested in?” “What could I talk about for hours?” and “What would I do for free?”
Find your strengths. This is about contributing your gifts to the world.
Find your value. Finding the intersection between what you’re good at and what people are willing to pay for.
Make the commitment. People fail to succeed is because they fail to commit. Remember, paths are made by walking.
Be willing to let go. Breaking down those beliefs can be difficult, but moving toward a new direction is most definitely worth it.
What will you give up? You won’t have time until you make the time. Make a list of all the activities and time sinks that you’ll give up in order to make time for your new journey.
Will you say Yes to yourself?
