Dreams or schemes?

[Enchantment]

People have very different ways of doing things or coming up with ideas that they can use!

 I love to see the wide variety of dreams that are nurtured, defined and developed into meaningful, purposeful work. People often ask me what kind of personal skills make someone a candidate to be one who loves their work. And when I start listing the things I think are helpful, I find that I touch on many things that seem to be contradictory.

Is it better to be an:
  An extrovert or an introvert?
  A dreamer or a realist?
  A thinker or a doer?
  A socializer or a loner?
  Is it more valuable to have imagination or practical skills?
  To be left-brained or right-brained?
  Dominant or reserved?
  Analytical or expressive?
  Change-loving or schedule conforming?
  Super intelligent or just normal?
  Gorgeous or average?

I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no “right” or "wrong" or any “predicable” patterns that lead to the work that we love. I think most of us who have found that sweet spot defy rational explanation or categories.
 Either by choice or chance!  The person who loves their work is someone using both sides of their brains. The right side pours out dreams, passions and fantasies and the left side takes that and creates patterns and systems to allow results that benefit everyone and magically produce money as well. You can have the soul of an artist – and your work is a shaped release of that art. You can be a logical precisionist and your work brings life to those otherwise boring and useless details.

Welcome to today’s world of work – yes it is volatile, unpredictable and intimidating. Old work models are being destroyed. Pensions, medical benefits, company cars and big bonuses will never be the same. Intelligence, degrees, certification and loyalty may not be rewarded as in the past. But the apparent destruction reveals a clean slate. There are no obstacles, no barriers. No wrong personal attributes, backgrounds, or education –
  just opportunity for all!
