Hi Lisa,

I am dealing with the same frantic situation at the moment. I laughed about it with my therapist as I described it as a frantic running around whilst pulling my hair out looking for something I lost. She said there’s no other way to find out than to get out there and ‘play or ‘create’. Unless we actually physically step out and try new things, we will never know what makes us tick. I gave my notice at work last week as I was going nowhere in my job and stayed because I felt I had to. That’s not fair to any of the parties involved. I have no idea what I’ll do next but I adament I will go and find out what I really want.

Is there anything you’ve ever wanted to try or did you see something on television that you really liked? Perhaps you can enrol in a course or do a workshop of one thing or another? Just have a look around and see what tickles your fancy. It may be flower arranging or skydiving. Who knows? That’s the exciting part you’re free to discover whatever you want. Perhaps take a little holiday away from everything to clear your mind. For you to write this post shows that something inside of you is giving you a strong message. Don’t ignore your inner voice. Definitely believe that something will come your way.

I also recommend the book ‘The Passion Test’ by Janet Bray Attwood. It’s an easy read with guidelines on how to figure out what’s really important to you and how to attract those things into your life and living your purpose.

I hope what I wrote is of a little help to you. Good luck in your journey. I bet when you really look inside yourself you have a ton of skills waiting to come out you just don’t know it as yet.

Love,
Joyce.

Hi Lisa,

It makes me so happy to think I have inspired you to get out of your comfort zone. It’s so easy to get stuck isn’t it into that zone? I know what that is like. I only realized it recently that I’ve been standing on the sideline cheering everyone else on except myself. Taking a leap of faith is so scary but it will be oh so worth it.

I am sending you all the beautiful things you wished upon me back and more. You make sure you get out there too and shine! Spread your love and light. 🙂

Much love,
Joyce xx

I have been in the same boat for a while now. I really have found that the Briggs-Meyer typology test base on Carl Jung or Jungian psychology has helped me. It doesn’t tell you exactly what to do, but it may give you some insight into your personality type. If you do a good search you can find some free ones in order to get your four letters. For example I am an INTP (Introvert, iNtuitive, Thinking, percieving) I can then look up what is typical of my personality type. I simply have used it to learn about myself and I have found it to be pretty accurate. I have heard that if you if you aren’t sure what your passion is then to think of what you do the most of and enjoy doing and also think of those people in professions that you have always found your self having respect for, or seen as a role model and maybe a bit of envy and maybe that is what you really want to be doing. For me I have always enjoyed writing down my thoughts and ideas, I also greatly respect writers, professors, philosophers, psychologists so for me I can see that is where I want to be myself. I went to school for law enforcement, did an internship in a homicide department and I learned that while I respect police officers I do not want to be one. I would rather be the person helping the family get through grief than the investigator. My personality type just doesn’t go along with law enforcement.
