With this thread I'm looking for a more elegant solution, akin to Steve's "do what you love, even if it makes you squat" (which I'm doing! It's making me squat, heh, but that's fine) idea. Also akin to Marcus Buckingham's material on strengths and talents, and how it blows practically everything else in that field that tries to talk about skills, talents, and personality out of the water because it hits on actual mechanics.
It blows my mind how there is just zero content when it comes to being able to do what you love and being able to expand it. There's huge support for being able to do what you don't love (i.e. a job) and being able to expand it, and plenty of material that covers doing what you love and expanding it but not being able to reasonably keep doing it (since when you're broke, eventually you run out of food--realistically speaking--which limits your ability to keep doing what you love. Radical changes are nice, but hmmm, they seem non-ideal in the long run. Perhaps I'm wrong. People who've made radical changes and that have provided huge leaps in effectiveness, please share your story.)
