Do you have a "pion"?

I basically discovered my pion walking the path you are taking. I educated myself in International Law and Relations with advanced degrees. But, I found "doing" it not to be self-satisfying, fulfilling nor exciting. Although I appreciate my education and the experiences I had working in the field, it became something I just did to earn my keep. Ironically, part of the reason I went into the field in the first place was because I was taking a different path than my families back ground. My Papa was a master wood carver, cabinet maker, wood worker and owned a business in interior design making high end furniture and designs. My parents went into real estate rennovations of historical buildings and the two businesses worked together profitably. As a child, I was put to work for the family business scrapping paint off floors and banisters, cleaning up the wood shop, refinishing br doorhandles, drawer pulls, antique and vintage accessories, chandeliers and doing a lot of grunt work. I was the first person not only to go to college, but also to earn advanced degrees. When I met my husband, he owned an art gallery and an interior design firm. I began to work doing adminstrative, financial and contractural work for his businesses and soon discovered that I really did have a pion for it that I'd long forgotten. Sometimes you rekindle fires that are still in you simply by expanding your skills, knowledge and abilities in different directions. I found that education helps you do that. You can take cles online, through community college or even the recreation department in your city to learn new skills or pursue interests. As you do, you will find that pion, that thing that keeps your mind working creatively and that you cannot stop thinking about. You will know when you have found it when it doesn't seem like work and when you would do it without being paid because you love doing it so much.
