    <title>Is midlife career change all you can think about?</title>
    <link>http://www.happyhalfway.com/how-to-be-happy-blog.html#Is-midlife-career-change-all-you-can-think-about?</link>
    <description>&lt;h3&gt;Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?&lt;/h3&gt;  

Even in midlife many of us still don&#39;t know the answer to that question.  We still don&#39;t know what our true purpose is.  Here&#39;s a fun tool that just may help you shed light on what your passion really is.

Take this fun and easy 7 question Passion Test and in just a few minutes you&#39;ll receive a profile that will help you figure out what &lt;em&gt;you are meant to do&lt;/em&gt;. 

Why is passion so important?  Life is not about spending 1/3 of your life in a cubicle doing work that doesn&#39;t fulfill you.  It&#39;s not about just getting a paycheck and praying for the weekend.  

Take the test.  It&#39;s fast and fun and FREE.  You may just be surprised.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
