What Should You Do With Your Life?

A lot of folks at SI seem to be considering where to put their energies in this new economy. I came across these quotes that rang true for me and give me direction and motivation:
You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need. ~~ Jerry Gillies

Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.~~ Harold Whitman

What do you think--do you agree?

I enjoyed the video by Bill Gates posted a couple of days ago. It's a good reminder that the world has some tough challenges out there, but if we remain optimistic, and we all focus on what we do best, we can succeed. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of all the focus on fear and dread and want to be near people who are positive and goal-oriented.
