Hey guys, it's Kathy Heller, welcome back to another episode of Don't Keep Your Day job.

Thank you so much for posting reviews on iTunes, it helps us more than you could ever know, so if you haven't done it, please leave us a review, it means so much to us.

I love that so many of you are coming to our Facebook page and you're telling us what you're doing and what you're up to and what questions you have, I love that people are supporting one another.

One of the questions that keeps coming up, Lena called into our voice mail and she asked it and Allison left me a message and there's been Facebook posts and people are saying, Kathy, how do I know what my passion is?

How do I know which thing to pursue? What if I like doing three things or what if I'm not really sure what I'm good at?

So here's some food for thought and I first want you to know you're not alone, there's 150,000 books on Amazon related to the topic of what's my passion.

So you're not alone and the other thing that's important to understand is that 80% Forbes did a study, 80% of people say that they're not happy doing what work that they're doing.

So that's not good, I mean people need to feel fulfilled, life is not long, we have a small amount of time to be able to do what it is that we love doing and so we need to get busy figuring that out and we gotta be happy.

I mean at the end of the day what I want to make sure that you understand is that the show is not about you need to be famous around the cover of a magazine.

This is about just doing what you love figuring out what's a simple thing that makes you happy that contributes value to the world.

So that brings me to my next point. If you want to figure out what's your passion, the first question I want you to ask yourself, I want you to make a list.

What are the things you love to do and what's the thing that when you do it the time just passes by so quickly, what is that thing?

What is the work you cannot do? What is that thing? And don't cloud it with, is it practical, is it really gonna make money? Just trust it.
