Picture the sexiest you possible!
Before the 12th century in Europe, romantic marriages (based on love) were not the norm. In fact, marriage was seen as a means to socioeconomic (or political) ends.
Things today are very different. Most people marry for love. The authenticity of this love is illustrated by the poignancy palpably present at the wedding ceremony where many people cry tears of joy.
It is not farfetched to imagine a day when people will similarly choose work or a vocation simply because they love it, not because the job has a big salary attached to it or offers status or prestige. That's when people will begin to have a chance for "professsional happiness."
When you find your true, authentic, ideal career, you will feel quite emotional. Choked up. Of course, unlike a wedding ceremony, there won't be people around like family and friends who cry tears of joy. But you probably will feel a kind of inner joy that is unspeakable yet so intense and deep and profound.
In short, you will have found yourself. Your center. Your eternal place of peace and joy and creativity.

This may sound "idealistic" and even hard to believe, but trust me, it is possible to find your life's work. It's simply a matter of listening to your heart every step of the way.
Doing so only seems difficult because we live in a society where external, objective, quantitative data are shoved in our face every day while what really counts -- how we feel - is largely ignored. We get daily information on the weather, the stock market, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, even the number of soldiers killed in Iraq.
But we don't get much information on how we -- you and I, personally -- feel about things.
Here's the secret: In life, you get what you feel about what you think about.
This success recipe involves two steps:
1. Focus on what you want to obtain in life (forget the war in Iraq, the news media, the endless debates between politicians, TV shows (no matter how clever the drama), gossip, etc.)
2. Visualize what you want to obtain in life with intense, hypnotic and compelling PASSION
In other words, don't just think about what you want. Think about it with overflowing PASSION, ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM! Think about what you want and visualize it from every possible angle and in every detail possible until you become totally drunk with the thought! Yes, "drunk" as in "losing your sense of reality about the present and what's going on in your immediate surroundings."
Anthony Robbins, in his book Awaken the Giant Within, teaches nothing but that. He teaches that you have to shape your emotions, for they are shaping your reality. Not the other way around. You can feel anything you want about anything you want. Period.
In other words, when you think, you're pushing the present toward the future. When you feel, you're allowing the future to pull the present toward it. Hint: the second process is much easier and more fun too!
Here's a useful metaphor: Imagine that there are two people: the Present You and the Future You.
You want them to be together, because as long as they're apart, you don't feel too good. It's like there's a split in your mind.
For them to be together, you can either:
1. motivate the Present You to go toward the Future You
2. make the Future You look and feel so fantastic, fabulous, magnificent, etc. that the Present You will be intrigued and naturally walk toward the Future You
If you use method 1, the Present You will usually resist all your attempts to "manipulate" it. It will say, "Hey! Stop pushing me! I'm fine where I am right now!"
If you use method 2, you simply let the Future You be what it's meant to be, and you give to the Present You the choice (the power, really) to move toward the Future You.
1 is about motivation, which is external, while 2 is about inspiration, which is internal, deep, profound, self-sustaining, authentic, smooth, true, natural and pleasant.
In short, the Future You has to be "sexy" -- it's got to "obviously have what the Present You desperately wants."
The "sexier" the Future You is, the easier it is for the Present You to focus on it. And as you focus on the Future You all the time, you will BECOME the Future You!
Let me repeat that important point: The sexier the Future You is, the faster the Present You will move toward it.
Not only that, but as the Present You becomes more like the Future You (that is, more "sexy"), people around you will notice. They will pay attention. They will seek to help you, please you, serve you.
As the Present You becomes the Future You, you will feel yourself being "extracted" from the unspectacular crowd and becoming an incredibly unique, fabulous, luminous being. You will have transformed from a member of the majority to a unique, sovereign majesty. (Every person is the absolute monarch ruling over his/her life experience on Earth. I will write more on this).
