One example of the latter is an essay by Steve Pavlina, who has a lot of really fascinating stuff on his site. He discusses what to do with your life, encouraging the decision to be aligned with your purpose. This and many other articles really got my mind spinning, spinning, spinning… but without the nasty dizziness that comes with spinning.

But most people don’t do it anyways, and instead decide to seek out people who do, and latch onto them. But that person owes you nothing. You can undergo the same difficult growing process they went through, only on your own. You may do it slower, but you can still do it.

It’s a long, complex look at finding your purpose, your passion, your calling in this life time.  I know that I’ve heard that so many times in my life, I almost wake up expecting to hear it.  “Do what you love, and the money will follow.”  I truly believe in that.  Logically it only makes sense, you tend to spend more time on and learn more quickly about things you love.  And usually when you spend more time on and learn quicker than most people about a certain subject, you already have created value that other’s may be interested in paying for.  I’m not talking about spending 4 years in college in computer science, and then getting paid in a good job to work with computers.  I’m talking about someone who absolutely LOVES to cook, who would do it just about anywhere for free, going out and cooking.  An example of true passion: [...] [...] The well worth reading blog by Steve Pavlina had a fantastic article, I’d recommend to everyone.
