		<description>Audrey,

What a GREAT attitude that you have! I totally love it, and I have no doubt that you will have success in every endeavor that you set your mind to.

I was actually just on a call with my mastermind group and we were talking about how some people are &quot;creators,&quot; which means that they like to build new ideas, but then move on to other things.

There is certainly nothing wrong with that, so enjoy it! As long as you are true to your own desires, you will always be successful while you enjoy each of those minutes! &lt;code&gt;:)&lt;/code&gt;</description>

		<description>Loved the post, and had to share my story. I put together a three year plan, worked it hard, and left my job in 2004. I didn&#039;t dislike my job, it just wasn&#039;t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I&#039;ve spent the last three years building my business. Things are going well and I enjoy what I&#039;m doing, but...this isn&#039;t what I want to do the rest of my life either!

I didn&#039;t waste time moaning or crying about it. I&#039;ve just put together another plan, and I&#039;m gradually moving in a new direction. Three new directions, as a matter of fact.

Each new beginning makes my life more enjoyable. But once I get used to it, I get the itch to do something more exciting. Since I know I can do anything I set my mind to, I just jump in and do it.

Life is unlimited. Enjoy every minute of it. &lt;code&gt;:)&lt;/code&gt;</description>

		<description>Justin,

You most certainly CAN work on what you like the most, and by doing so, you will always find success.

Historically, people excel at things that they enjoy doing, but get mediocre (or worse) results when trying to do something that they don&#039;t truly want to do.

As Joseph Campbell said - &quot;Follow your bliss!&quot;</description>

		<description>Hi very nice blog in general and that post make me think that I can work on what I like the most where I live and where I have been. So I will keep going my blog goquebec.blogspot.com and I am sure I will achieve something great with that. Come to see us in Quebec Canada.
Have a nice day all.

		<description>Hey Aaron,

Love the new look - what is it with people updating their templates this weekend?

Mike Dooley&#039;s great - we also read his stuff every morning. We&#039;ve found we really like Alan Cohen&#039;s daily inspirations as well BTW. - http://www.alancohen.com

John Chow also had an interesting read on the topic of &quot;trading hours for dollars&quot;, i.e. &quot;not getting a job&quot; Different perspective of course, but interesting:

Have an awesome day!

		<description>Dan,

I had not actually read that article by Steve Pavlina, but now that I have, I&#039;d like to voice my emphatic agreement with what he said! I love the tone of the article, too. It&#039;s perfect.

You are absolutely correct about people not even considering the fact that there might be another way. Every single friend or family member in my personal circle of influence has a &quot;regular&quot; job, and I just can&#039;t seem to get any of them to even consider the fact that they have other options.

Believe me, though, it hasn&#039;t been for lack of trying! &lt;code&gt;:)&lt;/code&gt;

Thanks for the great comment!

p.s. - I love Mike Dooley! His Notes from the Universe are one of the first emails that I get each morning!</description>

		<description>Hey Aaron,

&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;&quot;&gt;If your answer to the question of why you work was anything other than because you enjoy what you do, then you need to quit your job.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Great article, and I love the to-the-point intro. So many people live life from a fear and lack perspective, one day after the next. They don&#039;t even consider that there might be another way.

Our culture is so focused on &quot;having a job&quot;, that they catch you before you&#039;re mature and wise enough to know better.

I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve seen Steve Pavlina&#039;s excellent article - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/07/10-reasons-you-should-never-get-a-job/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job&lt;/a&gt;

Don&#039;t remember where on our personal growth path I came across this great quote, but it basically said:
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;To have the life of your dreams, Start Today living the life of your dreams in any little way possible!&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, it just came to me - Mike Dooley&#039;s eCards - that&#039;s one of my favorite ones. Richard Bach&#039;s &quot;Illusions&quot; and &quot;The Messiah&#039;s Handbook&quot; are excellent reading along those lines as well.

Have an awesome day!
Dan</description>
