Acknowledge your Desire.

Are you having a love affair with your work? Is your work something that inspires you? Does it invite you to grow and allow you to be fully engaged?

When you read those questions, do you find yourself greeted by critical commentary? Do you believe that "those jobs" are only for "other people"?  If so, why? Are you able to entertain the idea/fantasy that the day will come when your passion and your work are aligned in some capacity?

Take a moment to fantasize. If you could do ANYTHING that you wanted, without any concern for financial stability, experience, opportunity, etc...what would you do?  How does it feel to acknowledge that desire? Is this something that you would do for free?

Your passion does not have to be your work. If your work is not your passion, however, it should be paying for it. Otherwise, for what are you working? Why do you work? What place does your job/work fall in your life? If you cannot see yourself earning a living fulfilling your dream, how can you use your current job/circumstances to fund your dream?

Success or sabotage? Success requires a constant consciousness--the ability to examine what you are doing and why.

Is this going to be an incredible day?  Transform yourself to another world, where you are able to do all that you want. How does it feel to fulfill your dreams?
