Finding your passion - book to help

As you know I am on a search to find my passion, calling...myself.
I have been asking around (friends and family) what they thought my strenghts were and various questions relating to that. A friend of mine made a good point: she said I always had the right words to tell her to get her back on her feet, that even when she was doing good, I could make her feel even better with my words of encouragement. That made me realize that not only do I really enjoy helping people and sharing with them, but I guess I have an ability for it. This same friend recommended me this book (she actually bought it for me and urged me to read) The book is amazing and I cant even wait to finish it to share with all of you, here are excerpts from 'Three feet from gold'
