Did you know that God gives each of us a preferred way to learn and make sense of our world? According to my dear friend Elli, who actually works to help people find the career they were innately intended for, a rich and bountiful amount of brain chemicals in a certain quadrant of your brain will determine your preference based on something called "FLOW" or the ease with which you can accomplish tasks.
I do know (from testing I took a good while back) that I am a "double right brain lead" meaning that I am interested in a variety of things and I sometimes have difficulty with the sort of laser-focus that keeps many successful people en route to their goals. I also am what you might call "extremely unstructured". It is helpful for me to team up with someone who IS more structured-- like an accountant, say-- and then we can complement each other.... sometimes even compliment each other. Fortunately, that would be my mate of the past 38 years. So, in my usual inconsistent way I have again-- and with great intention-- picked up that small book "The Prayer of Jabez, Breaking Through to the Blessed Life" by Bruce Wilkinson. Within a couple of days of praying that blessed little prayer from 1 Chronicles 4:10, I had expanded my territory right into an unexpected and joyful retirement business with a lovely new friend and Coach-trainer. Every day over this current month I have met new folks, and not just on Facebook. I'm having fun. I'm dreaming dreams again. I'm experiencing blessings pressed down, shaken together and running over-- I've had to really really let Jesus allow this to happen without worrying about what the next step will be or when the other shoe will drop-- that sort of fruitless habit of worry and anxiety. The woman training me in my new home biz is the wife of a Toastmaster buddy. She is also a beautiful believer. The training is set up by successful, local people who have been in the field for around 30 years and whose son had the gifts to put their experience and wisdom into a viable and fascinating closed loop system for on-line training. Now I'm looking for other folks who might be interested in building a business with me-- people who want to work moderately hard (no 'six-figure' claims here), be at home with their families instead of spending $$ on gas and daycare to work at a J-O-B that doesn't really bring joy or a sense of service or worth. I'm looking for people who are friendly, beneficent, loving, wise, funny, generous, life-learners, respectful, and prayerfully open to new possibilities for their lives (regardless of what others might think/say/suggest/advise). If this sounds like you (or someone you know) and you live in Canada or the US with either citizenship or working status, you can do a leisurely, no risk, free evaluation at my website at http://positivelyvibrant.me and fill in a request form there after you watch the flash movie and read some of the testimonials on the site. I will be in touch! **I'm delighted to have permission to use the image "Jump of Joy" from www.sxc.hu
