Do you have the desire in your heart to change professions or take a class or start a business? Is the point of stopping is that the divide is TOO significant for you, stop for a minute.

My daughter Katherine is in 4th Grade at Mount Vernon Magnet School for the Performing Arts. This past semester she made the Principal's List: she received the highest scholastic level possible. One of the remarkable bits of information I picked up this year as I have assisted with her homework is that within her lessons in Math, there are already bits of Algebra sprinkled into the lessons.

When I was in school, we were "all of a sudden" introduced to Algebra in 8th or 9th grade.

We went from no algebra to all algebra.

In Katherine's case, she is becoming comfortable with algebra now so when she comes to the point of taking an algebra class,
the divide will be quite narrow.

She never looks to me and laments, "But Mommy, I do not know calculus yet!!" It never crosses her mind.

If she ever did, I would tell her the reason she does not know calculus yet is because she has neither the skill set or the abilities TODAY, though in time she most certainly will. I can further encourage her by reporting that even I do not know Calculus, although one of my goals is to take and succeed in this course of study even twenty years post College Graduation.

Instead of lamenting your current "lack" in a particular skillset: that which is keeping the divide so wide, look to what yu have in abundance and determine what is your next step.

Passion Activator Application:

Determine specifically where it is you want to be when you reach your goal. Is it that you want to be a top sales producer this quarter? Start a new business? Perform in an Off Broadway play?

Whatever it is, become immersed in it through whichever way you are most connected creatively. What I mean by that is it might be through writing, singing, painting, mindmapping,
list making, creating a collage.

Simply take the step and see where exactly the other side of the divide truly lives. You may find it is not so wide after all!
OR you will definitely be able to begin your progression towards it more successfully and quickly.
