Even those of us with the knowingness we must teach, write or sing may often ask, “What direction am I to go, now?” How do we answer these soulful questions?There are 2 main categories in advertising that you can choose from:Image or Brand Advertising, or Direct Response Advertising.And these 2 types of marketing classification are polar opposites of one another.Let's discuss each one in detail.Image (Brand) MarketingFor example, suppose you walk into a sporting goods store and there on the wall you see a closeup picture of Tiger Woods holding his hand by his baseball cap, and on the cap there is a symbol that you have never before seen in your life.

How would I enjoy contributing?” That very night I ‘happened’ across an interview with Alanis Morissette on Much Music. Strangely enough, I watch little TV, dislike what I’ve glimpsed of Much Music, and I do not listen to Alanis Morissette’s music.

Being whole – with all of our short-falls is so much more freeing than working hard to always look good.

We can all reconnect with our truth, our calling and direction through revisiting our journals. If you do not write a journal now would be good time to start. Alanis inspired me to re-read my journal and the ‘theme’ of my life was readily apparent. My constant quest for a deeper understanding of myself, the human condition and of God is always there. Clearly, this lifeblood of mine must be the foundation of all that I do. By looking deeply within at our own truths we can uncover our direction. We know it in ourselves if we would but nurture the expression of it rather than squelching it or adamantly sticking with, “I don’t know.” And yes, sometimes it does help to talk to the right person who can reconnect you with what you already know. Trust that you do know what you want to do – even if it does not seem readily apparent. That’s O.K. Just begin by giving yourself the freedom to express your inner desires, dreams and fears by journaling everyday. Without judgment, allow yourself to write and think about what you enjoy doing, or would enjoy doing, if you had the money, time, education, experience, fill-in-the-blank. Through these simple acts of trusting ourselves, listening to ourselves, and looking for the slender threads weaving our lives we nurture the relationship with our deeper self. Herein, we learn to reconnect with our inner truths and find the path to our calling.
