creating your path

None of us fits into society! Rather, each of us is programmed as we proceed through life. Education, advertising, news media, television and a host of other institutions promote incomplete information.

The challenge and responsibility is to discern what resonates with your desire (e.g., passion). Each of us is a master when we follow our bliss. With all the noise society makes creating a mental fog, often a person discovers what their passion is by learning what it IS NOT. How do you do that? 

With the blossoming of the Internet as a limitless sea of information, go fishing to make your discovery! There is no need to commit great funds and many months to a program for an uncertain outcome when you can explore for free or little cost many areas of study.  You can search for a particular institution of higher learning or an aggregator.  Search these three websites as a starting place: The Great Courses, MIT Open Courseware, Open Education Database.

Previously mentioned resources to assist you: ChoicePoint (aligning with your goal), Healing with the Masters (webinar series), Global Teleclass (webinar series) and Abraham-Hicks (law-of-attraction and daily inspiration). 

For those who feel challenged to proceed with anything, listen to the young, charismatic Jullien Gordon! (When you open this link be sure to check out the other videos in the right column for additional inspiration.) Jullien helps this new generation realize their full potential by identifying four types of capital that blend work in harmony. The need for balance between book smarts and street smarts is more crucial than ever. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx (Technology, Entertainment, Design) contains ideas worth spreading, "Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world". It is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. 

According to World Bank, each person possesses $734,000 worth of intellectual assets. Your knowledge and wisdom, ideas and concoctions, methods and systems, recipes and formulas, gadget or invention are at hand. Now, go forth and shine your own creative light...be a free agent in the universe. If you listened to Jullien's awesome presentation, live your street smarts!
