It sounds like you are on your journey! Enthusiasm (or lack of it) is a great sign to point you in the direction of where you should head next. One of my favorite quotes is featured on the Professional Destiny facebook page: "Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." -Harold Thurman Whitman In my book, Professional Destiny, I outline steps you can take to find the career you are passionate about. One of them is to write a three column list of Things You Love to Do, Things You Are Good At (they can be different) and Things You Loathe. To make this exercise effective, you must actually write it, not think it, so you can draw connections. Write down EVERYHTING that comes to you. From this you can begin to see a pattern and steer yourself in a direction for a career that will fulfill you. Then, follow the signs you get every day! For more information, I'd encourage you to read the book. I have gone through this, as have so many others whose honest and inspirational stories about the challenges, obstacles, encouragement and great joys are featured. Greg – Thanks for the comment.

I have been "searching' for that new job for several months and have found that I am attracted (using this term loosely) to the same positions/job descriptions.Alas,my progress is stalled due to a lack of enthusiasm. Yesterday, four people contacted me for help to get them through their tough day. It seems I have become the "go to guy" for inspiration, insight, guidance and positivity. This while my boat is taking on water. One of these individuals pointed out how he depends on me for this and how I should find a way to incorporate this into an offering, that I should not be in sales but perhaps sales coaching. He said these traits are just a natural for me, my DNA. So I spent the night digesting and reflecting on the events of the day and counting my blessings for having these people as part of my network. Then, this morning, I came across this book and this site. Hmmm, some things are right under our nose. OK, now what? Sometimes the answer is right under our nose.
