A listener asks: "Why can't I just be satisfied with what I have?" Some of us aren't cut out to do the same thing year after year. Embrace your desire for change, challenge and variety. Don’t try to find the one thing you’re going to do for the next 30 years. Yes, be clear about what you want your life to look like 10 years - 20 years from now. But just have a clear plan for the next 2-3 years in your work - that's likely to change. Questions: What’s wrong with me! Why can’t I just be satisfied with what I have? It began in elementary school, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up…now I’m 50 and I still don’t. I have an IT certification but its been 5 months and I have only clinched one interview that didn't lead to an offer.

A frustrated listener wants to know how to find his passion. I encourage him to pursue the things that touch his heart and to recognize that passion is more “developed” than “discovered.” But without passion you won't engage the talents of people around you and ultimately, you'll burn out. Questions: 1. I can’t find my passion and it frustrates me to keep hearing about it 2. How can I be intentional about cultivating an Abundance Mindset? 3. My wife thinks I have to have everything together in my life before I could be a coach. 4. Should I create a product for a big or small audience?

I think we often create an artificial dichotomy in which we divide what is "spiritual" and what is “secular.” We don’t leave work to go do ministry. Our work is the best opportunity we have for living out our calling and for engaging in true ministry. What we're doing on Thursday tells much more about how we can serve others well than seeing how we spend a few minutes on Sunday morning. A 20-yr-old listener's question frames this episode. Questions: 1. Should I do what I want or what God wants me to do? 2. How can I build a name for myself without being egotistical? 3. I love selling real estate but feel like I should be doing more Godly work. 4. If God has a calling and purpose for me does that mean I have to be a pastor or missionary? 5. I feel guilty because the work I’m most passionate about is not Godly.
