Creative Path Studio: Trish Roque’s blog, studio, and musings on living a purpose-filled life.

It’s very obvious to me when I’m not living up to my potential. I become irritable, restless, and easily bored. I start feeling like an automaton, reflexively reacting to the routines of my daily schedule. Day in day out every week every month every year.

Then one day it dawns on me that six years have flown by. And with it comes the sinking feeling that somehow I’ve missed my boat. Arggh!!

What did I do about it?

I googled for the answer. (Don’t you?)

I found a wonderful site called Manifest Your Potential, a site that offers a number of valuable tools to help the seeker find answers to their questions.

In the game of life, winning or losing is a matter of perspective

Much of their material is common sense to me. For instance, I believe in their premise that life does not have to be a game based on winning or losing. It’s about choosing to create your own destiny. It’s about deciding that you can be an active participant in your own life, that fate does not decide for you.

I chose to move to Santa Fe after college, just as I chose to move to the Bay Area six years ago. Of course, it helps to make informed choices, and a key ingredient to making smart choices for yourself is to KNOW yourself.

Self discovery. I’m a big fan.
