From your profile it reads that you are writing the blues from Boulder, CO.

As long as we're focusing on what we thing we should be doing, we find ourselves disempowered and feeling terrible. As gifted adults, we are always in the process of learning and growing - that's a given - so if you could choose anything, where would you want your life to take you in the end? Focusing on what you'd love to do very often brings it at least one step closer.<br /><br />I hope you find your way.Gifted for Lifehttp://giftedforlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22647813.post-15750048828049679672011-04-13T17:16:30.089-06:002011-04-13T17:16:30.089-06:00Laura:

Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher might be of interest. Answering that question of your hearts contribution is a tough one. I know. I have done some serious serious reflection in the last 18 months (of course with a lifespan of reflection). I was at the point of hanging my hat on a "job" I have - it pays the bills, it lets me contribute. However, I knew being at the stage of Navigators, and knowing myself that this was not satisfactory. So letting go of my time table (letting go - chimes) and knowing I need to continue my adventure, my journey for my particular contribution is back in focus. The focus is not clear, the next step is. So honor yourself and decide what contribution you want to make versus what current circumstances may allow. Your giftedness is who you are and blossom with it.

If I can't get a job, I will look for volunteering opportunities. Someone must want a teacher with way too many degrees - at least for free.<br /><br />And, thanks.Laura Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579160512689867301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22647813.post-27645716331417939062011-04-13T04:11:26.311-06:002011-04-13T04:11:26.311-06:00{{{{HUGS}}}}}
