Today, each of us wants our music, our food, our cars, our houses and virtually everything else exactly our way. We personalize; we customize – because we have choices.
The amazing thing is that we are so quick to customize our food, but so reluctant to customize our lives.
Each of us is born with a unique set of neural pathways (brain responses) that create our natural abilities and our passions. Some are artistic and social. Others are empirical, detail-focused and analytical. Some can sing and others can solve puzzles. But most let others direct them to what they should do for work and how they should live their lives.
Your happiest moments happen when you use what you are good at and passionate about. The more of these moments you create, the better your work and life become – you feel more capable, competent and more fired up. And only you have the key to determine the “true you.”
So commit a little time each day to write your “owner’s manual”:
1. List what you are good at; what are your talents and strengths?
2. List what you are passionate about; what do you love to do?
Once known, how will you customize your work and life around your talents, strengths and passions? If you could have life “your way,” what would you choose?
