Here I am back, again apologizing for not writing. I have been to Denver for 10 days.  Wonderful!  I have a month old grandson there and a 3 year old acting out, but very smart and very fun to watch.

I think when I move there I am going to donate some time to National Jewish Hospital to help teach asthmatic children.  That is a personal goal.

I also have a personal goal to write my very best for you and help each and everyone of you gain momentum in where you want to go.  I am good at this, so take advantage, please. And if you think you can’t afford me, you can at least write me and gain some answers to a question or two that might spur you on your way.

I had a client recently who is extremely competent – one of the best in his industry, but his self esteem has bottomed because of a work situation in which his superiors are poking around and diminishing him.

Has that happened to you?  If it has, you need to move out of that situation, because no one needs to be diminished in their career.  If they are or you are then it is a job to sustain you.  It is not your career. 

A career is about actualizing, being thrilled with what you do.  Doing what you love, what is easy for you, because it is part of your DNA talent.

Yes, work needs to feel easy and fulfilling, not hard.  I don’t know Bill Gates, but I bet if he had to work in a mill, it would feel hard to him.  He may do it well, but it would be a drudge. No one pokes around at him, but I bet they have tried.  But, you see, he has operated from the power of his innate talent and no one can touch that. Not Bill Gates and not you.

Life can’t wait for you to find yourself.  You must do that on your own. Then when you feel the momentum and feel light as air – skip a little bit, then you are in your zone, in your talent base.  Remember that the next guy isn’t so comfortable in your zone.

We forget this.  We think if it is easy for us, it is easy for anyone.  THIS IS NOT SO. 

So look for what you love to do and what is easy for you and start off your goal for 2010 ( that is fun to write – try it)  finding what is fun, interesting, challenging and moving away from people who do not appreciate you as you are.

Happy New Year —-Mary Ann

p.s. And write me.  Complain to me.  Ask me questions. Sometimes I feel that I am writing to an empty Internet.  It is like singing in the dark.

I’ll answer too.
