October 8, 2022 This week was busy and full of driving children to and from activities, school and work! I had little time to sit and write but quite a lot of time to sit and ponder. One of my favorite parts of my studies this week was the video ‘Do What you love.’ I found the concept of the three overlapping circles, (good at, born to do and pay you to do) very interesting. I think that finding a purpose in life in the small area where those three concepts overlap is brilliant. I spent time trying to figure out what it is that I’m good at. My list is not long but I am good at a few things. I love to come up with business ideas and to think through an entrepreneurial idea. I love problem solving when I come to a hiccup in the ideas. I am good at scheduling. I am good at first impressions and interviewing. I am terrible at accepting compliments so it was difficult to think of and write down things that I think I’m good at, but it did help me start to consider what I am born to do. I know that I am most excited and passionate when I think of starting a business and when I think of helping others. More and more I think that I would be happiest starting businesses that could fund humanitarian efforts. I think of starting an NGO and I get very excited to get my education, find helpful mentors and equip myself to get started on meaningful endeavors. I often have to remind myself to slow down and to keep my family as my current priority, while simultaneously finding ways to get my kids excited about humanitarian and entrepreneurial opportunities. There are some ways that I think I can be working on both good parenting and business opportunities at the same time without short changing either goal. All in all, it was an insightful week.
