I found my last disc of Finding Your Element. If according to Ken Robinson, if I am in my element even with the risks and uncertainty, I will be happier.
What is my element? I still have no idea what my passion is. I enjoyed reading a lot but how to monetise reading? Reading is on the expense side of according. I love projects but have so many half done projects especially electronic projects that I know I am not going to be an inventor. Teaching and coaching is in my element. Somehow, I am unable to make money helping others to gain skills and competency. I tried writing and keeping this blog updated at all time. So far, the readership is low. So it will take me 3 years or more to earn $100 from Adsense, the minimum for the check to be cut and sent.
As I review my skills and capability, I wonder what could I be in order to be in my "element". I loved to be happy. In fact, happiness is my top priority. I do the gratitude exercise, I live my life well and I enjoys working. But it seems hard to reach the level of nirvana or flow or ecstasy which is my new goal as I read Ken Robinson. Am I setting myself up for failure?
I know one thing for sure. I will continue to write everyday and reading good books to improve my mind even if happiness eludes me. Maybe my current routines should generate happiness for me.
