Life Element

What is the Element?

The element is the meeting point between natural aptitude and personal passion.What you find in common among the people you've met in this chapter of life and the vast majority of the people you will meet in the coming pages is that they are doing the thing they love, and in doing it they feel like their most authentic selves.They find that time passes differently and that they are more alive, more centered, and more vibrant than at any other times.

Being in their element takes them beyond the ordinary experiences of enjoyment or happiness.We're not simply talking about laughter, good times, sunsets and parties.When people are in their Element, they connect with something fundamental to their sense of identity, purpose and well-being.Being there provides a sense of self-revelation, of defining who they really are and what they're really meant to be doing with their lives.This is why many of the people in the book describe finding their Element as an epiphany.

How do we find the Element in ourselves and in others? There isn't a rigid formula.
The Element is different for everyone.In fact, that's the point.We aren't limited to one Element, by the way, some people may feel a similar passion for one or more activities and may be equally good at them.Others may have a singular passion and aptitude that fullfills them far more than anything else does.There's no rule about this, but there are so to speak, elements of the element that provide a framework for thinking about this and knowing what to look for and what to do.

The Element has to main features,being in your own tribe.'A great group can be a sounding board, a source of inspiration, support and even love.Find your Element and your tribe.Walking away from the life you're known to find an environment more suited to your growth.'

If you change your mind you can change your life.

We have the capacity to discover the Element at practically any age.

There are two conditions for being in it.The features are aptitude and passion.The conditions are attitude and opportunity.The sequence goes something like this: I get it,I love it, I want it, where is it?
