Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO
You may be wondering how you go about determining your area of
excellence, if you don’t already have one. If you are already very
good at what you do, you should know that with change taking
place so rapidly in your field, within a few years you will probably
find yourself in another job, doing something different, with a dif-
ferent area of excellence.Whatever got you to where you are today is
not enough to keep you there.
Here is one of the most important parts of changing your think-
ing.
Successful people do what they love to do.
They do their jobs for
the art and joy of it. They would do what they are doing even if they
weren’t being paid for it. Ask yourself this question:
“What would I
choose to work at if I was financially independent and could do anything
I wanted?”
How would you change your life if you won a million dollars?
The great majority of people, if they won a million dollars, would
immediately quit their current jobs. If you would quit your current
job if you won a million dollars, this is a danger signal. It means that
you are in great danger of wasting your career and wasting your life.
