Yesterday we talked about how the Law of Attraction only works well if you are focused on your own true goals and passions, and not on what other people want for you.

Over the years, many of us have gotten sidetracked by outside messages from schools, parents, employers and advertisers about what we should want for ourselves. How do we find clarity now, without the distractions, so we can focus clearly on our own true passions?

Today, let’s try something different. Instead of me giving you answers, I’m going to give you questions, so that you can find the answers within yourself.

I invite you to go through this quiz below, and pick the questions that grab your attention. Don’t avoid the tough ones, but don’t get caught up on questions that don’t connect with you. Some questions will uncover your true passions, while others will uncover false goals. Good luck!
