I Can Help, Call Me: (516) 869-1832I like to ask people I meet a question. Is this what you planned on doing with your life when you were 18 or 19? The answer is usually NO! Ok , I'm sure there are some of you out there that are doing exactly what you planned on doing when you were 18 or 19. And you may even be happy doing it, if so you are very fortunate and in a minority... so count your blessings.

Most people however, are not doing what they dreamt of when they were young. In fact many young people weren't in a position to dream at all. This is especially true for children growing up with substance abusing parents and/or abusing parents. These poor children have to live one day at a time. For them there is no tomorrow or future. So it is not surprising that when they finally arrive in the future that they are ill prepared. Then we have to factor in the substance abuse factor 40% or 80%, and/or the abuse factor and who and when will they start to abuse others?

So when I ask them what their "Bliss" is, they look at me with total confusion. "What is a BLISS?", they'll ask. Bliss is the thing that makes you very happy to do. In fact you are so taken with it that you'd do it for free. Well if you can find that "thing" and get paid to do it, then you are ahead of most. That is what a career should be. People should strive to attain a Blissful career not a mere job.

But far too often all the baggage I spoke of earlier including self image and esteem keep us down and far away from our potential. I like what the poet James Allen once said, "AS A MAN THINKETH SO HE IS"!!!
