Comments on: Are You “Sheepwalking” Through Life? http://oneweekjob.com/2007/02/23/are-you-sheepwalking-through-life/ discover your passion Wed, 16 May 2012 23:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Richard http://oneweekjob.com/2007/02/23/are-you-sheepwalking-through-life/comment-page-1/#comment-145 Richard Thu, 05 Apr 2007 12:14:27 +0000 http://www.oneweekjob.com/2007/01/09/are-you-sheepwalking-through-life/#comment-145 Sean There is nothing wacky about finding a job you are passionate about. I would add one more aspect to the "sheepwalking" definition - to be in serious debt and feel that you really have no choice but to work at the job you hate. Sadly, many Canadians are in this situation. Good luck in your quest. Sean

Excited to see you're gradually making your way back east! Reading this entry reminded me of why I decided to take a break from university -- I saw SO many students with the same problem, except they were "sheepwalking" their way through university, dreading every day of school with the goal of "making it to the end" of 3, 4, or even 5 years. I bolted! That's where it starts sometimes... if you sheepwalk through school, then you're a good candidate to do it in your job for the next 20 years after. have fun in edmonton! kristina Hey again Sean!

He must have had quite the adventure! I am thinking that I might write a book about it. Perhaps a sort of guidebook, that incorporates the experiences that I have. Yet, we are only just at the beginning, so we will see! -Sean Hey Miriam,

Your job plan definitely sounds like it is worthwhile and seems to be g etting you quite a lot of exposure. Your theory reminds me of the book Yes Man by Danny Wallace. His goal was to only say "Yes" to everything that came his way for one whole year no matter what happens. The book is about his adventures and misadventures during that time period. It is definitely worth reading. Are you possibly planning to write a book with the information you pick up? I think a lot of people would be interested in reading it if you do! Good luck on your job search, Hi,

Tim, good to hear that you won't settle, now if we can only convince everybody else to do the same! Matt, I think you might be right. Who knows, maybe this project and inspiring others will be one of my passions. I guess we will find out! -Sean Thanks a lot!

I agree that it is far more wacky to do something that you hate for your entire life, than to explore the opportunities that are out there for you right now. I wish you tremendous success and I hope you find your passion, in the midst of raising money for a good cause. Who knows? Maybe this project will be one of your passions. No need to settle for just one! Well done Sean!

It's a challenge to everyone that hears or reads about you to go after their dreams. I believe the same thing about my own life -that I would never settle for a job that I dreaded. Good luck with your project! Tim Hi Sean,

I think what you’re doing is fantastic. It’s a challenge to everyone that hears or reads about you to go after their dreams. I believe the same thing about my own life -that I would never settle for a job that I dreaded. Good luck with your project!
