Maybe I can apply these steps to figure out what I want to be great at?

Currently changing courses. It is a little late in life to do so but when you get fired at age 59 it is a huge life changing event. I would like to take the opportunity to change it to something I pick but at a crossroad. Not sure which interest or idea I want to pursue most.

Think I will apply a couple of these principles to see where I am more focused, do a couple test runs on my ideas, detemine maybe which one I am prepared to pursue, etc.

And don't forget, you shouldn't judge your success by comparing to others. Success comes from what happens to YOU and what you do with it. Each individusl has a personal success story. Sometimes those are the best.....your individual accomplishments, changes to yourself, that nobody else realizes can be the most motivating.
