Have You Lost Your Spark?

IHave you ever woken up one day, looked around at your life and thought,
This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife! MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE? Yes, I m quoting the Talking Heads, where David Byrne plays make-believe imagining himself as a suburban husband smacked with a midlife crisis. This was my life at one point.

I was unhappy in my job (which was really bad because it was a business I created), in my relationship (which was even worse because I was married to my business partner) and just in general my life. So, what did I do?

I spent a year on a Passion Quest where I critically studied all of my strengths, values, past experiences and things I was extremely passionate about to figure out what I wanted in my life (in a career, in a relationship, in day to day life). What was going to make me jump out of bed every day? What was it that I couldn t not do?
