		<description>Thanks Ellie, I hope you find your path too!

Thanks Erin, and yeah, I spent too much time focused on goals in the hope they'd help create passion. It never did, and now it doesn't seem to matter.

Perhaps I'd feel differently if I felt time pressured...</description>

		<description>Mark,
Great post. You made an excellent point about how goals aren't necessary once you find what you're passionate about. I had never thought about it like that before. But very ture. I think this can also be used as a guide for identifying ones purpose by asking what area(s) of your life you experience huge gains, accomplishments, etc regardless of whether you have a goal.</description>

		<description>What an incredible transformation you seem to have undergone since you started your blog Mark!  

Great insight on the necessity of understanding and embracing your emotions in the decision making process.  I also have found that goals tend to become self-evident once you embark down a path you are passionate about.

Best of luck to you, I am certain you will find a way to make your dreams come true. :)</description>
