Michael,

I’m a passionate person but seem to have lost some focus and not sure what to re-focus on. There are many things I’ve tried but I tend to loose interest quickly - maybe that is a sign that I’m not focused on what really I’m passionate about. Any insight into how a find my passion again?

Thanks.

Michael,
I invested some time this evening perusing the site.
I’m interested to discover if there are opportunities in mid-southern region of the U.S.
Thank you,
Greg

Greg;

You are floundering in part I suspect because you are doing what you are good at, but not necessarily what ignites your heart. For example, I am good at sales, but I would be unhappy now starting over in a copier sales job. I need more meaning now that I have proven myself in that arena. I too do consulting, but have drastically cut back due to connecting with something that fulfills my calling while tapping my skills. It might be something for you to consider…

It’s called SeedAmerica and we are raising an endowment for a new breed of business college. Definitely Biblical, but also highly practical. No room for professional academicians! The financial rewards for the team members are substantial and the fulfillment in creating something very exciting that will impact this generation and those to come is over the top. Check out… http://seedamerica.com/job-opportunities.php and let me know if you want more info. I will direct you to the VP of Acquisitions who has more opportunities developing than currently listed on the site.

Blessings,

Michael

Michael,
What counsel would you give a guy who is 52yrs old, committed to God and intentional in living His principles, married to one wife 22yrs, in business, (sales & management), had life coaching, is focused on balancing his life with work, worship, rest, & play, investing in family (wife and 4 children 19,18,15,5) was involved in an evangelistic ministry in the early years of his life, then was involved in business with a company for 18 yrs, left (because the business was dying), and has now been floundering for the last 5 years with reigniting passions and where to invest my work life. (I have done consulting during this time and have consistently provided a good income for my family, and am back in sales presently…my income has not diminished, but my passion wanes)…I wonder if I will truely find a connection to “work” related purpose for my remaining years. Strange to be in this position…never thought I’d be here in my thought life! Maybe mid-life crisis striking!!!

Many years ago I read “No Compromise” by Melody Green, which was her biography of her late husband. I have never been the same. Not only did it bring the music he created to life in a whole new way, but reading it also stirred my heart toward God like few experiences before or since. I haven’t yet seen the documentary you’ve referenced here, Michael, but from reading the book about him, “intensity” may be understating the level of his passion and commitment! If anyone feels like their own intensity may have waned, it’s certainly possible to fuel your fires with Keith’s music and his life story.

May the Holy Spirit ignite all of our hearts to burn for King and Kingdom!

Steve:

The story is broken up into seven different viewings on YouTube. Once you load up the first one YouTube will then offer you the next in line. It’s a little confusing but anyone computer savvy should figure it out. Here’s the link for the first one:

Hope it helps.

Michael:
I had no doubt about your perspective on the “burn out or rust out” and I knew what you meant, I just thought it might help someone who might not see it the way you and I do. thanks for you insights, they are always stimulating
