Do the Work!
I highly recommend that you take the time to complete many of these Personal Assessments. Pay close attention to those things about yourself that excite you and that you excel in doing (even in small ways). Print out the results and save them in a folder. It won't be long before you will start to see patterns develop which will in turn provide direction for you in your life and work. You don't have to wander around in a "fog" - but you will have to - Do the Work!
