If there's one thing I could stamp out in life (besides poverty) it would be frustration. With gloomy skies seeming to be around housing industry and financial workers daily these days, the frustration of paying bills and managing finances just never goes away. Options need to be developed of course, maybe short term working in areas that aren't your specialty but never lose sight of getting back on track and always trying to be good at
Playing Your Own Tune!!
This is listening to your inner voice. Doing what you were born to do. Loving your work so you lose track of time with it. You are amazed people pay you to do this. Having passion. Not a career, but a vocation.
Your inner voice message may change as you get older shifting from success to significance.
That is ok too. But strive to listen to it. It will signal you. It really signals you when your core says something is wrong. You may have those sick and tired of being sick and tired thoughts. You may have this weird technique like I do, that you know in life what you "Don't" want. For example I steered myself into jobs with being shackled to a desk many years ago, and it was so NOT me. I wanted to go out in the world and set up meetings, have lunch with people, drive deals home. Shackled at the desk for me at least was suffocating.
Another technique to zero in on whom you are, and what tune you are "supposed" to be playing is taking personality tests like Meyers-Briggs and the DISC model. You can search them out online. I have found them suprisingly to be amazingly accurate. You'll learn a lot by reading the assessment. It will be an ah-hah moment where you will step back and say that is me.
Look at celebrities. Who are you like? I see myself as Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic Airways floating hot air balloons over the Atlantic. Now if I only had his money. I am working on it.
Listening to your inner voice and playing YOUR tune extends to our work, the relationships we select, and to the life we design. Be a little patient if it all doesn't add up for you in one week. But don't take a lifetime to figure out who you are or the next version of yourself you want to be in a new life. Where you want to live and who you want to be around and what you are doing should come to you sooner rather than later. Go for it.
In a span of 10 to 15 years you can go from rags to riches and even back to rags again. So do not be disheartened where you are at exactly at this moment in time. It is much more important to know exactly WHO you are, what you like, what makes YOU, YOU, and get out there and play that tune of yours. Afterall, that's what in the end will make you the most happy. And isn't being happy what will make you the best YOU?

So refreshing to hear, and a must do! I adore Richard Branson and his work ethic, but also his look on life. It is times like these that we really need to focus!
