Today is the first day of spring and always the beginning of a season of change for me. I have been attending The Life Coaching Experience led by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. http://www.cloudtownsend.com/workshops/life-coaching/. In our last session John spoke on The 3 Interlocking Circles: Passion, Ability and Meaning. The goal is to have all 3 to be successful in your job and in life. John is writing a book titled "Sweet Spot" which is when you find all three in what you are doing. John defined the 3 as:
Passion - your focused desire
By nature your passion in an intense emotion for what you do. Passion can't be created it must be uncovered. You must explore because passions is buried alive inside of you. When you are passionate about something you lose track of time. It feels like you have been focused 10 minutes on something when it can be 4 hours.
Meaning - bigger than you
You understand that you are not god and that you are being called by God. You much search out the will of God to find meaning.
Skill - your ability
You have talents and gifts and through diligence and hard work you will be successful.
Since I am a baseball fan I know that home runs are hit off a bats "sweet spot" What is your "Sweet Spot?"
Blessings,
Kristi
