......give yourself time to think.

If I were to ask you to reply instinctively, no umming and ahhing to the question "What do you want to do more than anything else in the world, NOW" what would the answer be? You might surprise yourself!

I did ask a hard bitten Ozzie business man that question and his reply was "I want to stand on the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem" straight out, no messing. When I recovered from my surprise and asked him why, his reply was that all three of the world's monotheistic religions wanted to be there and he wanted to see if he could "feel" what it was that drew them there.

If there's a pause of a few seconds followed by a "Weeeelll...." you're not going to hear the true feeling.

BTW there's lots of other good advice above - some of which I followed.....
