A friend of mine loves to dig in the machines. My other friend likes to study the laws and law. Me all these spheres are not completely filled with energy. I love to write and inspire people. For each person the world has prepared something of his own,” writes Barbara in the book “something to dream”.

Make a list of areas and cases, doing that you are filled with energy. After all, the ultimate purpose of everything we do, is not to find some mythical purpose, and feel good. And well we feel only when doing things that bring us a lot of energy. So, answer the following questions:

What would you do even for free?

What you are willing to read hundreds of books?

Scanners or divers?

In 1994 Barbara had introduced the division into scanners and divers. She even wrote a whole book “Refuse to choose”. Divers are those who are immersed in one thing with his head. Scanners are people who can’t stay on one thing. They need to constantly learn something new. They can be carried away by gaudí’s architecture, playing the banjo, to engage in the near future, filming, tours to Europe and so on. And they love to do it all at once!

World for scanners almost like a box with chocolates whenever they are asked to choose only one candy. Known scanners: Goethe, Aristotle, Mikhail Lomonosov, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci.

Remember that Mikhail Lomonosov. He was a writer, poet, physicist, chemist, geologist, naturalist, diplomat, and so on. And most importantly, that he always succeeded!

“Each of these people was a genius. I think the secret to their success is that they never have been forced to choose. They did what they wanted, and when wanted,” writes Barbara.

The scanners she gives simple advice: “Start small. Start immediately”. If you are drawn to something, do it immediately. Even if you will pay favorite activities for 15 minutes a day, in a few years you will achieve great results.

All three books by Barbara Sher – “keep Dreaming”, “dreamed” and “Refuse to choose” – will give you a complete answer about your destination.
