The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that absorbs you, frees you, challenges you, and gives you a sense of meaning, joy and passion. – Terry Orlick
What is your passion? I mean, really, your true passion. We are all in one way or another passionate about God, our children, our spouses, family, etc. But what about your hobby? What are you truly passionate about? If you had no worries, and everything was under control, what would you do? Some of my friends have told me, they would be more involved in the community, church, a not for profit organization, etc. But my question is, what are you really passionate about? When you were a little kid, a teenager, what did you do for fun? What was your hobby? Mine were my BMX bike, and the art of DJ’ing. I ask all of these questions, because I had an interesting experience that I would like to share.
When I was a teenager, I loved music, and specifically loved spinning records, creating mixes, and being the life of the party by being a DJ. It wasn’t until recently that I rekindled that passion of mine. The last time I spinned records was 20 years ago. Did you note that I said records? Yes vinyl, that’s how long it’s been. Now, thanks to technology, we have all the music available in MP3, and also the turntables are a thing of the past. All you need is a computer and a mixing controller unit.
I invite you to revisit your past, and rekindle that passion you had once for a hobby. I shared my recent experience with some friends, and some are already, doing what they loved, getting in to cycling, art, golf, playing guitar, etc.
My challenge to you is to dig deep down inside, and find your true passion in life, and most importantly act on it.
