The highest good and how to attain it in outline

Aristotle says pleasure, that which we see all organic life pursues and its opposite shunned, is unimpeded natural activity.

Let us assume one enjoys helping people identify what they are talented for and then use it to make a living out of it. 

Let us assume also this is natural for him in the sense that he never tires from doing it and he does it without much efforts. If he can succeed in removing all impediments that impede the performance of his work, then he will engage in an unimpeded natural activity, the highest good, or the good, that which all aim for. 

I already made money out of my hobby, that is your move. The question then is how? 

This is how. You will either find this or you will borrow from others. In either case, when you implement it, you will notice justifications in your head that will tell you this cannot be done, note them them, and theoretically or in your head show how you overcome them and actually overcome them again and again until this becomes a habit. 

One of the ways that will allow you to make money out of your hobby or rather the only way is acting on now, responding to what is happening now, for that is where things happen. Master this. 

For instance, when you are talking to a woman, a potential mate, focus on what is happening now, especially what her body language is saying now, what you are feeling or thinking about and so on and so forth and nothing else.
