How To Find What You Love To Do

Honestly, if I were more financially stable, I'd quit my job right now and do something I love for the rest of my life -- if I only knew what is was.

Thanks for the link Jake. This is the story of my life right now. I have no idea what it is I want to do. I have a lot (A LOT) of things I do. None of them pay though, it's all volunteer. It is time this September to go back to the paying world. But doing what? What? What?!

That is one heck of an article alright. I respect that the author uses interesting phychological tactics to kick start motivation. They are also clear about what sort of situations such a strategy might work with. I know I am sold, and I will try it out and see what I discover.

I guess the term I am searching for here is "meta-motivation". :) The reason his main question becomes phychologically relevant is because answering it sets one up to be excited about the possible outcome, making the task self-fulfilling.
