Each of us has a collection of mental or emotional barriers we feel are insurmountable.

After learning more about how the CVI works and reflecting on my past experiences, I realized that whenever I was in a place that contradicted my profile, it took a lot more work and effort to achieve success than would have been necessary if I had been living within my 'happy place.'

We all have heard the aphorism that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. The more pragmatic advice tells us to identify what we love to do and figure out how to get paid for it. This is easier said than done, right? Maybe not.

I always dreaded getting annual performance reviews, even though they usually went well. This one was different. "I gave you a ‘failure to meet expectations' score because you didn't achieve your objectives for the year," my boss told me. The problem was I had no idea what my objectives were.
