What matters now?
Via 43 Folders (http://www.43folders.com/2009/12/14/enough) is this pdf (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/files/what-matters-now-1.pdf).
70 or so people were asked to ‘talk about a word or phrase related to their own idea of What Matters Now.’ The results are short, brief, digestible and definitely thought-provoking.
Passion:
Some people ask, “What if I haven’t found my true passion?”
It’s dangerous to think in terms of “passion” and “purpose” because they sound like such huge overwhelming ideas.
If you think love needs to look like “Romeo and Juliet”, you’ll overlook a great relationship that grows slowly.
If you think you haven’t found your passion yet, you’re probably expecting it to be overwhelming.
Instead, just notice what excites you and what scares you on a small moment-to-moment level.
You grow (and thrive!) by doing what excites you and what scares you everyday, not by trying to find your passion.
