What would you do?

Everyone has interests; do you use yours to make a living? Is your current job one you would choose if money wasn’t an issue? Have you ever thought about turning your passion into an income?

All of us are enthusiastic about something. Some of us have the same interests as another, yet still remain unique because we all put our own “spin” on things. Are you someone with artistic talents? Wouldn’t it be great if you could paint for a living? Do you love kids? Have you given thought to a kids program you could run? The list goes on and on.
Sit for a moment and ask yourself, “What are my hobbies and interests?” We can all answer that question fairly quickly. Now ask yourself, “Could I do that for the rest of my life and be truly happy?” If your answer to this is “yes”, then your next step is to establish a way to make a profit.

This is where you need to be careful, because every excuse you can think of (and that is exactly what you will do) will come forward in your mind. In fact, planning a “new” future will seem inevitable at night, but in the morning you will think, “That is silly, I can’t do that.” Your fear of failure, anxiety, financial loss and other worries will surface, stopping you from proceeding.

These negative thoughts will put the life you should be living on hold indefinitely. It is your “ego” that steps up and tells your subconscious mind that it is not possible. The “ego” thinks it is protecting you from harm, but in reality it is stopping you from being truly happy.

Stop and think for a moment; if you currently made a living doing something you really enjoyed, you would give 150% of your self. You would get up every morning and happily go to work. You would eventually receive more money because you were content. If you could do this for someone else, why can’t you do it for yourself?

Until we meet again….”follow your dreams and live life.”
