Hallelujah & Amen! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Have you read "The Renaissance Soul" yet, Mandy? I have honestly recommended it to almost every client I've worked with, & with the subtitle of "Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One", it seems to be right up your alley. It might help you with the time management, & figuring out how to use your free time to fuel your creative passions. Of course, if you feel like your free time is non-existent, then that might be another story.... If you're interested, you can read my review on the book & get links to chapters & the like here: <a href="http://is.gd/1HXqD" rel="nofollow">http://is.gd/1HXqD</a> It's great that you like your day job!

I just want more. I am one of those inherently greedy people that not only wants the corporate accolades but also wants to find time to develop and revel in my other passions. Unfortunately the corporate job usually wants to gobble up the artistic side for dinner and spit it out as the 9-5 become as 9-9 job. I think finding a balance and harmony between the two is what is most difficult yet important in my life. I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I really do like my day job… I just want more.

I'm going to give the affirmation 'I'm a coach' a whirl and see how I do!!

And while I agree that my day job is a tool, it's still tough for me sometimes to just grin & bear it. My mantra totally helps me get through the trying times - more than counting the reasons why I'm still here (& plan to be for a while). Shell - Thanks for your comment & your compliment! Glad that it resonated with you. Emma – I totally agree with you that American culture places so, so much on the question on "So…what do you do?"

I go there, I do a set group of things, I go home to my real life, and every two weeks I get a paycheck to cover my mortgage and other necessities. For a variety of reasons, some very good; some not, American culture is such that we often confuse what we do for a living with who we are. It's an important distinction to make, one that requires a fairly radical shift in perception. The good news is, it's incredibly gratifying.
