It can be so much harder than it sounds to identify what truly matters to you. We experience conflicting inner voices pulling us in different directions and causing confusion about what we should be doing, who we should be helping, and how we should be spending our time.

We find excuses to carry on doing the things that make us miserable because we don't allow ourselves to admit what it is we really want to do. And we even talk ourselves into believing that we have got to do it all, say yes to everything that is offered, and live life without an ounce of regret that might come from saying no.

We've all heard stories like the 12 publishers who turned down JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book proposal, telling her not to quit her day job, or the infamous "guitar groups are on the way out, Mr Epstein" line delivered by Dick Rowe at Decca as he became 'the man who turned down The Beatles'.
