You want to do something but can't figure out what... why don't you focus on creating a new you... a new and improved version of the same one...

That could be the most rewarding endeavor that you could ever undertake... and if you devote as much intensity and passion in it as you do in scrubbing and cleaning... the results should be spectacular...

Good words there and thanks, the "new you" idea is kind of the macro-version of what I"m thinking, it's the first steps to really getting there that I'm having a difficult time finding.

I'm kind of stuck in my way at the moment, I have a fun job as a personal trainer and am just barely self employed with the same on the side, pretty busy and can set my own times which is great, however the pay at the gym I'm working for is below awful (I think of it more as being "Free Education"), and I don't have enough clientel on my own to keep afloat without the gym job. I honestly think that going the standard 9-5 job route, and especially the idea of specifically trading my time for money is possibly the biggest rip-off known to mankind so am trying my absolute hardest to avoid any such work, although I may have to buckle down and do it for a little while at this rate.

I keep getting this feeling as described above that I'm just a thought away from some new idea to get into as "work" which I'll have real passion toward (what I do now is definitely fun, but I don't really feel so passionate about it) and also do well enough financially to get myself by. At the moment I feel ready to take a step, but with no idea as to direction I'm kind of stuck in place scrubbing my computer desk like a madman for the time being
