I was reading through some pages in a book I found, ZEN and the Art of Making a Living––a practical guide to creative career design, by Laurence G. Boldt. The author offers some solid, make-sense solutions regarding finding your job, your work, your purpose. In taking on this life quest, that seems to elude many people, the author suggests that you: look at your strengths...pay attention to activities, skills, chores, and projects that light your fire, stir your enthusiasm....and see how life has prepared you.

Have you ever become so connected to the constant demands being asked of you that you were not prepared for the time when they stopped. When the work was done, did you stand there wondering what you should do next?

When we look back over our lives, we can many times see how one challenging incident may have lead us to exactly where we needed to be. We grew from the experience and was better prepared for the rest of our life that was to come.

"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence." - Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

...Shakespeare has such a way with words. They stir up powerful visuals, which never become shopworn from over use.
