Criteria for Selecting Content Topics: Compelling, Relevant, Aligned

I appreciate that creating content is an opportunity for exploring interests and topics that we believe might interest our audience, and I agree that writing is a great way to discover what you have to say about something. I accept George’s point that creating content consistently is a practice that we develop over time, and I accept the premise that disciplining ourselves to show up, do the work, and hold  the results lightly makes sense as a way of building our capabilities to create conten…

I align with all three of your criteria when it comes to content creation. As far as learning in  general I'm wondering if there's a part of me that is a fixed mindset because I really only pursue those things that affect me personally. Then again, as a busy mom with a million things to do, it makes sense that I have to keep learning new things at a minimum. As I write this, I do pursue what makes me curious, what will give me ROI in some way in the present or the future, and what serves my personal values. I guess I didn't give myself credit in the beginning of this post, and I guess that means I have a growth mindset because look how my answer has changed from the beginning to the end. Anyway, thanks for the interesting post, David.

Discovering your purpose

I've found that the process of elimination is the most helpful tool to discover your purpose (or passion). 

Try more things faster and see what you hate doing. 

See what you love doing. 

Eventually you close so many doors for good that your specific door is the only one waiting for you to open it and walk through.

Hi @Michael This seems to be a helpful tool to apply to a variety of situations. In fact, just for fun I went and plugged this post into Chat GPT and asked it " Please find ten situations where I can apply this tool and then give me ten examples " To be honest I think for me the best example is meeting a lot of people and that helps me figure out who I resonate with, and whom I don't. In any case, here is what ChatGPT came up with: 


Here are ten situations where you can apply the tool of process of elimination to discover your purpose or passion, followed by ten examples where people have found it helpful:

Ten Situations to Apply the Process of Elimination

  3. Educational Paths:
    • Enrolling in diverse courses or workshops to determine which subjects captivate your interest and which ones do not.
  4. Social Activities:

Ten Examples of People Finding Purpose through Process of Elimination


  1. Job Hopping:
    • A person tried several jobs in retail, hospitality, and IT before discovering a passion for teaching, which was the only job they found fulfilling.
  2. Switching Majors:
    • A college student changed majors three times, from engineering to business to psychology, finally realizing their true passion lay in graphic design after taking an elective course.
  3. Hobby Exploration:
    • Someone dabbled in knitting, pottery, and gardening, ultimately finding joy and purpose in photography, which they initially tried just for fun.

  5. Traveling:
    • A person traveled extensively, visiting urban and rural areas, mountains, and beaches, and discovered a passion for sustainable tourism in eco-friendly destinations.
  6. Creative Pursuits:
    • An aspiring artist experimented with painting, sculpture, and digital art before realizing their true passion was in creating animated films.
  7. Social Dynamics:
    • Someone participated in various clubs and social groups, from book clubs to sports teams, and found their niche in a local theater group.
  8. Networking:
    • A professional attended multiple industry conferences and networking events, gaining insights from different fields, and found their passion in tech entrepreneurship.

In any case, I hope this was helpful in some way. I enjoyed it. 

My first Content Sabbatical

I took my first Content Sabbatical after creating consistently for one month. 

Now that I'm consistent with Content Creation, I need something new to procrastinate on. 

Any ideas? 🤣🤣🤣

I finally don't psych myself and try to perform or prove myself. This is huge. I can finally express myself authentically.

I don't worry about making it perfect, I save a ton of time and energy, and I'm so relaxed that I'm not embarrassed to show my quirkiness which "accidentally" came out in this video ..... 

as compared to this one from one year ago where everything had to be rehearsed or scripted and I'm basically performing and communicating from my mind and not from the heart. It was so exhausting back then and definitely NOT sustainable! 

I'm grateful for this program that helped me through the 100 video challenge (I'm 20% there!) and George's leadership. Thanks,

@George Kao, for this profound motivator for change and transformation! 

The Beautiful In-Between...

I've been home a week or two and I'm finally settling into a routine that feels both effective and spacious.

On this note, we're almost half way through the year and it's a time to dream into what's next in your year. Last week's solstice marked a turning point encouraging us to re-evaluate our lives.

Honoring the In-Between Time
I am noticing it is an in-between time for many people. They are just returning from long trips, finishing school or commitments, and looking into what is presently im…

@Kristina Rogers I appreciate the opportunity to reflect at the halfway point of the year. It's certainly a time for personal growth for me where I get to choose new thoughts and behaviors that are for my highest good. I like your expression "quality tones"... I'll reflect on this! 

Trusting your inner guidance: choosing the perfect rescue dog

Are you in touch with your inner guidance? In this video, I navigate the process of choosing between two wonderful rescue dogs. Not easy at all.

This journey has shown me that doubt doesn't mean my inner guidance isn't working. Instead, doubt is an offer to learn how to test and build trust in our instincts, even in uncertain situations. Whether it’s a small decision or a significant life choice, our inner voice is a crucial guide.

@Simon Berkowitz As always, I enjoy your energy! I left you a comment in YT. :-)
