Do what you love
I once read a book called "Do what you want and the money will follow".
Well, I just loved the title. Do what you love (like I need permission) and the money will follow Yeah, I like money following me
What I remember about the book is the author gave me permission to do what I love. Everyone seems to have one thing that sets their hearts a-fire.
But I bet that there are people that you know, maybe even in your family that you do not even know what it is that they secretlyt love.
My Mom likes to write songs. My best friend likes to paint When they speak on the subject, their eyes light up and they become very animated.
So how come everyone isnt doing that thing that they love? Maybe life gets in the way
The other day I wasnt feeling so hot I was up and a thought occurred to me. If I move one bookshelf full of books, empty out two others, move one over there..well you get the idea
I thought that it would open up a lot of space in the house and free up a picture window so that I could witness the sunset every day.
I got so excited I did a tremendous amount of work. I lifted and hauled big furniture pieces. I packed, and unpacked and moved big boxes of books. It was amazing.
Even though I had a headache the excitement was there. I had all of the energy I needed to complete the task and more.
It made me think about how different it is
when you are doing something that you are really excited about.
Like for instance, I have always liked to sew and once when I got a new sewing machine, I sewed for 24 hours straight.
And like the time I first moved out of my parent's house I would often stay up all night.. I was having so much fun with my new job, going to college for the first time, and my new apartment. I just felt thrilled all of the time
A lot of the things that people love to do are creative. I believe that these are our gifts and should be shared with the world, but even if you dont, you still need to make time for something you live doing.
It is vital to your mental health, when you are doing what excites you, Your metabolismm increases, Your energy skyrockets. Your attitude ajusts. The world seems like a friendlier place
I think that it is your duty to find and do what you really enjoy. it can start as a hobby, not necessarily your lilfe's work--well not yet anyway
It can often turn into your life's work but that is not necessarily the main goal.
You have these special interests for a reason Do what you love and allow the energy to pour into you. Find a few minutes here and there every day if that is all you can squeeze out right now You will be more energized every day, and feel more in sync with your life
