Hi Tasha! Great feedback. I should updated this post with a few links at your recommedation. Here’s what I added:
The Long Guide to Finding Your Calling: http://mngmvnt.com/1KfEM9W
The Podcast (particularly the [short] episodes): http://themeaningmovement.com/podcast
And a post about the “deep work”: http://themeaningmovement.com/write-your-story/

Let me know if you have questions!

Maybe other posts of yours, books, something.

Great thought, Joanne! I have some ideas about that, but I bet you have some to. I’d love to hear them!

Thanks Deb! It can hurt to fail an exercise like that (as you know). I hope this gives some comfort to those of us who have had experiences like yours. Here’s to a deeper and richer process!

You hit the core of something powerful with that distinction between what is the process and what is the product of the process. Great truth my friend…Keep them coming! 🙂

I quit participating in “passion questionaires” several years ago, after several unsuccessful atempts at answering the easy questions you mentioned in your post. In fact, our church staff once used a similar exercise, with every good intention of helping parishoners find their life’s passion. My husband and I pretty much failed the exercise, when neither of us could find our passion (not including our relationship with God, our children, and family.) Later, as we talked about it, my husband and I realized, that the passion discovery process we had experienced was so cookie cutter and superficial, it had barely scratched the surface.
