However this experiment will only work with your participation. So I of course, humbly ask for your input. As many of you may know, I am in the process of following my bliss in an effort to figure out what it is I should be doing with my time and hopefully generating an income as a result. Maybe I am just trying to avoid punching a clock but the fact remains I am in the process of an experiment / journey. In that journey of self discovery, I stumbled across this way cool website http://www.workhappynow.com/ which is run by a fellow named Karl Staib. If you are in one of those jobs that provides obstacles and stressors in your life, you might be wise to check out his website listed above.
Anyway, back to me, because that is after all, what this is all about. Karl has developed this diagram shown below, with the idea that you go through and list characteristics or traits under each of the three categories. Where these traits overlap is your newly identified superpower, which you then can use to follow your bliss as it were.
So what I would like to ask of you is to comment back and identify whichever characteristics of mine that may jump out at you under any or each of the categories. This way, I get a view from the outside (again with your generous help). This takes off my rose-colored glasses off and lets me get some info from an outsiders point of view. I think it would be fascinating to find out where others feel my passions, focus and strengths are.
So just a brief idea for each category follows, as taken from Karl's website:
Passion
The intrinsic motivation behind your actions is passion. If you find yourself constantly forcing yourself to take action, then this isn’t passion.
Focus
The amount of time you can spend focusing on a project will determine how much you get accomplished. If you can’t stay focused for very long, you’ll never develop the skill to be successful.
Strengths
Each skill that you have must produce quality results, otherwise it’s not a strength.
For example, almost anyone can write. In order for it to be considered a strength it must be something that other people notice because your skill stands out.
