Great TED Talk about guilt and shame....worth the time!!
My brother, Hank, published this great book (at Amazon)....
.... based on his many years coaching business executives on making the changes they sought in the professional (and personal lives). Here's what Tim Gallway (Inner Game of Tennis) had to say about the book:

INSPIRATION - About Passion
Dr. Susan Biali, 37, a medical doctor as encouraged by her parents, has written a book on passion and how she found her true calling. Right now she's negotiating a TV program about the process. Susan says passion means getting at the very core of who you are and what you want to do. Since childhood she had longed to be a dancer. One morning she arrived home exhausted from a particularly stressful night shift in the emergency ward. Desperate, she turned around, slammed the door, flew to Cuba and took up Flamenco.
Susan is now a professional dancer.
The word passion comes from the Latin patior, meaning to suffer or to endure. These days, losing its uncomfortable roots, passion is a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion toward a subject, idea, person or object. Here's how to get it:
Revisit and repossess your core dreams and fantasies.
Consider your dreams to be private, unique and sacred.
Get help from and watch the actions of the already passionate.
Indulge, honour and live in your own imagination.
Don't talk about it, do it.
See your passion manifested into action or production.
William Burke, the great philosopher and definer of emotions and passions, wrote in 1780, "There's a boundary to passions when we act from feelings; but none when we are under the influence of imagination."
When you serve your passions, proficiency gradually takes over and becomes habitual. "Permission" becomes entrenched with even more focus and those giddy feelings of success. It's like love--when you're in it you hardly know where you are, but all is well.
Recommended books:
A Whole New Mind (2006) by Daniel Pink. – A wow of a book that explains why right-brained (creative) vocations will be more highly valued as the future comes to pass.
To Sell is Human (2014) by Daniel Pink. – Pink's latest book is a requirement for salespeople and a must for anyone who cares about more enjoyable and positive human interactions.
The Shadow of the Wind (2005) by Carlos Zafon. – The best novel I might ever have read. True, I have a bias towards all things Barcelona, but this is worth the read even if you haven’t been there!
