So here are the questions that the author presents in order to help a person find what their passion is:
- When the house is quiet, where do your daydreams take you?
- What was the last issue that made you righteously angry, or brought you to tears?
- When you read God's Word, are there common themes in the verses you mark?
- What breaks your heart?
- What do you talk about the most?
- What truths would you die for?
- What principles or beliefs would you go to jail to protect?
- What people would you place your neck on the chopping block for? And why would you do it?
- Who and what would you be inconvenienced for day after day?
Jon and I have been talking about this kind of stuff a lot lately. We've been talking about our strengths and what things get us excited. Crazily enough I've learned that I actually get excited about the thought/process of organizing things. Well, not things exactly, but events and people. I was never stressed about planning my wedding and unlike a lot of people I actually enjoyed it. Also, I thrive in high pressure situations. When other people tend to get stressed out, I buckle down and perform better than under normal situations. Now on to figuring out my passion and how to utilize my strengths.

Oooo..my girlfriend Mary Kate started a co-op. She was an independent photographer (weddings & corporate), she met a two-person start-up marketing company, and a freelance graphic designer. The 3 little companies share the rent on a little store-front in a downtown area in Maryland. They are now a one-stop-shop for start-ups who need websites made, logos designed, professional photos taken, marketing & PR plans made, etc. Jon could write copy/design and you coule plan events....? no? Oh the ideas :)
